Crusader Recipe - Archmages no drop?

[Phillzor]

Hi there.

According to pretty much all vanilla databases the Scarlet Archmages from Tyr's Hand is supposed to drop the crusader recipe. I know the droprate is low as hell but i've killed 632 of these mobs in the past 7 days. Is there any chance that this NPC actually doesnt drop the recipe in this patch yet?? In that case FML FML FML. I really hope someone can give me clear answer.

Best regards

600 mobs is nothing.. the drop rate is like .8% dude, it's supposed to be rare. It goes for hundreds of gold for a reason. If you're really that worried, maybe farm the spellbinders in WPL instead, although I know they are heavily farmed.

0,8 % aint that bad if you take the time to grind as hell. I've gotten 44 elixir of the sages with a droprate of 1-5 % .. Just making a small comparrison here.. Something seems wrong ^^

It drops. Its just shitty like spellbinders, brah.

Keep grinding. Welcome to Vanilla.

seems like it only drops from spellbinders. it was added to archmages in 2.0

I dont trust anyone until someone says they actually got it from Scarlet Archmages ON NOSTALRIUS SERVER

It should drop from both.

All those rates are based off TBC, where all vanilla cores originate.

I never heard of crusader dropping from Tyr's during retail vanilla, but I haven't been able to find any proof.
