Anyone having issues with rares not droppin items. 20+ kills of berzeker dog, terrible shard, brood mother, deathly spectre, and deadly blizzard Hunter. Also don't recall the "a rare creature" tag.
It's because the items are flagged to release with ldon. They weren't in era. You can read all about it here: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/is-there-a-list.233376/
These items were taken out of the game when Phinigel was mid-late Velious, so Ragefire would have had them for some time as well. Agnarr and future TLPs will never have them
That's not entirely true, they will get them when LDoN releases. Agnarr locks at LDoN even though they have called it PoP locked, so it will get these items eventually.
Long story short... Some of them WERE dropping... others were flagged properly and NOT dropping. Someone came to the forums and complained that certain items were and others were not dropping on Phinigel, and wanted them all to drop. Devs, now made aware of the out of era items, went and nuked them all.
Good job devs. I never set foot in Velks after 2003 anyway, so I didn't know those items existed to miss them.
