Has he been dropping anything for others? I think I've been there for 3 kills now and have not seen any loot from him. Considering he is arguably harder than CT right now, seems like he should it least drop one item each time. I'm not familiar with his loot table on live though.
He has a loot table, he can drop a BCG, necro staff, and monsoon that I know of. The drop rate is very low, 5-10% though. His loot table is borked, should be 2 items classically all the time. Several other loot tables are a bit off also - ie, Crimson Robe of the Adeline or w/e doesnt drop at all (it was on CT clasically).
Yeah even if it was just 1 item every time it would make it feel like it was worth the effort to actually kill him.
We've seen the following drops from Draco in about 20 kills. Spined Dragon Claws x3 http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=320 Staff of the Undead Legions x1 http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=548 Bone-Clasped Girdle x1 (Three have dropped on Lockjaw overall) http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=934
Combine that with Monsoon someone got here, that's his full classic loot table, but he's just not dropping 2 items like he did classically. Plus his model is comically small.
The items that don't drop on TLP still take up loot space, so to speak. That's why the mob so often drops nothing--Item_X is rolled as loot, but doesn't drop on TLP so it's removed and nothing is dropped in its place.
If they can't fix his loot table, they need to remove his buffs. It's illogical to have him be one of the hardest mobs in the game currently and consistently not drop anything.
The progression servers have pre-revamp Plane of Fear until Kunark unlocks, and pre-revamp Dracoliche has a 30% chance to call his "good loot" table. Welcome back to classic EQ! We can discuss the possibility of changing this for a future update.
I would he surprised if dracoliche was actually giving loot out every third kill, but interesting none the less.
Can you at least un-shrink his model? He's a belly caster, being a bone dragon and all that, but he's currently smaller than an Ashenbone in hate or one of the undead dragons in DN. It's pretty awful trying to pigpile and entire raid underneath him, as small as he is.
