    It was revamped shortly after PoP release.

    Was actually around LDoN launch when Droga was revamped. About a year after PoP.

    Well this server extends from Classic (1999) to PoP (2002).

    A year is a 25% increase in the total timeline of the server. Quite a lot happened in that timeframe that drastically changed the game.

    But in general this client/server is fairly limited as to what zones, items, NPC models, and content more generally that it can offer. For example we are limited to around 33,000 unique item IDs in our database because it used a signed 16bit value originally. Many LDoN+ items happen to have item IDs beyond that point meaning they aren’t available unless they are manually created and given an empty ID. Though your desired hammer happens to be one of the items that was backfilled in the 22,000 region.

    The Sceptre of Destruction is basically an identical version of that hammer without the level rec, and it will always drop on our server. So if you’re after a proccing think weapon that’s an alternative goal I guess.
