True, but I dont like the idea of snakes dropping breastplates for example. The current script allows all mobs to drop. But I would like to alter it to just allow humanoid mobs to drop.

And regular weapons dont show on the animal mobs, but the defiant spear did, really weird but it would have made a great screenshot. If I see it again I will screenshoot it, F9 I think. To be specific it was a Thorn Drakeling with a Crude Defiant Spear in Misty Thicket.

I only played EQ up to about level 53 on live, and that was a long time ago. (I love running my own server, glad this stuff exists.)

So I am just wondering what Defiant armor is. I can look it up on Zam just fine, but I gather there's more to it that just a bunch of similarly named items. Does it have some sort of progression or levels or something?

I see. If you browse the drop lists at magelo or ZAM, you'll see even animals drop defiant gear on live servers. Not all though.

For me, its ok, cause my mobs drop them only at a 1/100 chance, so you wont see them too often. If only humanoids carry all the good stuff, why fight animals at all? I like the idea that even a simple spiderling could drop uber gear.

Would anything lower than 1 percent work in terms of a drop rate? Does the system recognize decimals?

I like the idea of Defiant dropping but making it oober rare.
