    So is this thing really a 1% drop or is RNG just screwing with me? 1/106 so far

    Don't remember it being that rare but that was ages ago. Was thinking "Hey, I should get 3 of these!" but not sure I have patience for 300ish Grachnist. He does spawn a lot though.

    I gave up after around 60 grachnists, it's too rare imo

    I remember camping it back in the day on live and getting a few earrings with a lot less effort, but I sadly have no logs from 1999-2003 and I never camped it on eqmac

    but hey you know RNG is RNG

    I think this might also tie in with sarnak courier and the gazughi ring being stupidly rare here too...

    Yea, I really never know how things should be here since I never played AK.

    FWIW Magelo does list it as 1% then proceeds to say 12/612 which is basically 2%.

    RNG gonna RNG I guess. Took me over 2 levels in Skyfire to get 4 pearl fragments.

    Do these ever pop up for sale? That may be the deciding factor in whether I camp 3 of them or not. If they are buyable reasonably that would take away the temptation.

    I camped one of these back on EQMac. I didn't count how many Grachnist's I killed before I got an earring, but it was a lot. Definitely more than 50. I don't know if it was as many as 100 though... I'd wager somewhere in the middle around 75-80. I spent a longggggg time at that fort.

    when you are dealing with 1-4% drops its always going to be a chore and likely longer than it "feels" like it "should" be. Rng is gonna rng.

    And the people who get it in only 4-5 kills, won't complain.
