Any know the drop rate of Animated Legs of the Insane Tinker - UOGuide, the Ultima Online Encyclopedia Or even an estimate?
So like it could be 1 in 100 kills or 1 in 3? Anyone have any experience with getting them?The drop rate is 100% RNG...
Also, what mob did you get it from? UO guide says devourer of souls {renowned} and wyvern {renowned} drop them. I've been doing devourer so farFirst pair I got was around 50 spawns then got another 2 spawns latter and have not gone back. Remember it is a Corpse drop not a pack drop on this one so check the body.
Ya my sampire did devourer from start to finish in about 5mins. Wyvern took much longer. The spawns easy but that wyvern phys attack + multiple FS was kinda rough at points. I'll use a tamer on wyvern from now on.I got both mine from the wyvern spawn - I never got anything from devourer and loot is crap - at least you can get 100k or so gold and fairy dust while doing the wyvern spawn - but a sampire can tear through the devourer spawn a whole lot faster (I go with mystic with discord on wyvern spawn)
For devourer or wyvern? Hard to beat whirlwind sampire for devourerI’m up to over 60 times and no drops. I farm is extremely quickly with a classic archer.
Archer is faster than every other character, in my opinion.
Devourer.For devourer or wyvern? Hard to beat whirlwind sampire for devourer
Hmmmm I may try that. What skill setup you use?Devourer.
I can stand in one place with a demon slayer Yumi and 1 shot the first phase and 2 shot the second. I’ve tried it with my sampire and I can’t reach the same efficiency.
... and I've killed Lady Melisande lots of time over the years and never gotten a crimson cincture.
I strongly suspect that there's a component of account number in the random number generator that ensures that your account will never get certain things, and this was put in to promote trade. I just haven't found out what rare thing it is that my account is supposed to be getting more of so that I can trade it for the things I get none of.
Many years ago Draconi was looking into RNG and luck. I vaguely remember him (or another dev) saying that a number is indeed assigned to an account on creation. But what that number did or a range for them was never given.... and I've killed Lady Melisande lots of time over the years and never gotten a crimson cincture.

Wouldn't that be interesting...I know I have read several posts speculating this theory, But I don't recall anyone or dev backing this up...It seem like this would cause a huge uproar if this theory was confirmed given acquiring stuff is a huge part of this game.Many years ago Draconi was looking into RNG and luck.

When I have some free time I'll try to see if I can find it. I doubt I can though.Wouldn't that be interesting...I know I have read several posts speculating this theory, But I don't recall anyone or dev backing this up...It seem like this would cause a huge uproar if this theory was confirmed given acquiring stuff is a huge part of this game.
Goblin renowned? I always thought the legs came only from the wyvern and devourer spawnI got one from the devourer (maybe done it 100-150 times)
but my husband got one from the goblin reknowned just yesterday...
The only thing I can figure is that nobody ever kept up with updating what drops where. On this page Artifacts (Stygian Abyss) - UOGuide, the Ultima Online Encyclopedia there are spots that show no drops for the Goblins... I also heard it from a friend one of the Rats Clan area and the Skele Drag Renowned drop them. But those fights take too long.Goblin renowned?

I think he may have posted some of his thoughts about the RNG on his Facebook page.I did a quick search just to see if I could quickly find it.
Here Draconi talks about the RNG and how he planned on putting out an essay on it. There's some good info in there that should still be mostly correct, but not what I was looking for.

I wonder if I read it in his essay that I can't seem to find?

Sadly that page is gone. I was thinking about reaching out and asking about it in the off chance he kept his notes. But it appears that isn't possible now.I think he may have posted some of his thoughts about the RNG on his Facebook page.
