Crusader Recipe - Archmages no drop?

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 ^^

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.
