Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Seems to be bugged. Atlas loot shows it has 12.08% yet this staff NEVER drops. I'v never seen a caster using it.
I'v ran this place like 8 times and it never droped, niether the gloves.Same story from a friend who ran this place even more...we just never saw it.Only green items.

I wouldn't open a topic about it, but this Staff is actually one of the best for casters untill you hit 60. You can only hope for a similar one from ST Hakkar spirit, but it has no Intell.

So please, fix the drops rate.
Thank you and have a nice day!

There are at least 323 Players on Realmplayers who got the staff, so doenst seem that broken to me...just keep farming

I have no idea how did u came up with that number but I think the drops rates are indeed broken. Even the Gloves won't drop, just green items as I said.
Again, it's not just me, but 2 other people who farmed this place (8 runs+, for each of them) and NEVER saw that staff drops. I'd say it was a "bad luck" if it was just me, but it's not, lol.

Sure, I might be worng, but it would be great if they could at least look into it.This staff is very importand for casters between 44-60.

damn so he actually does drop it? ive ran ZF 6 times so far and the doc dropped a green every time. i assumed his loot table was bugged.

its been years so i could be wrong but, i dont remember him dropping greens at all in classic

Take some math classes and you could calculate that the chance of the staff not dropping after 8 runs is 35,7% .

That is more than 1 in 3, so not that unlikely at all.

Even after 20 runs the chance of not getting it is still 7% SO if your friend did 12 runs, the chance of both of you not getting it is still a small, but significant one.

Seems like you are totally unaware of how percentages work in general.
You cant just multiply percentages by the times a dungeon ran. Go back to school.
Peace.

Yeah, actually it does work that way. His math is correct.
For example, I did 31 LBRS runs without seeing the caster pants. The chances of that occurring are (1-drop_rate)^number_of_runs or, in this case, 0.35%.

Welcome to RNG. I know people who ran MC every week up until Cata and never saw the eye of sulfras and My DK saw it drop twice in a month. You can do all the math you want, but it will still have the same % drop chance each time you run it. The chances of it not dropping on repeated runs would be higher theoretically, but it still has a chance to not drop. The joys of the RNG system.

Lol, he deleted his post. Luckily this epic stupidity has been saved in your quote. "Can't just multiply percentages"

Stop complaining about a weapon which shouldn't even be in the game yet.
