Dread Horn Deco Rewards

Hello, I have a question; Does dreadhorn drop a decorative dread horn heart (same graphic as valentines cupid summoner (in a blue/white hue)) as a very rare drop? I read that it does on Uo Guide; however I've never seen one in game, are they a highly infrequent drop? x thanks

um, can we edit that link out please people?

Bazar, dragging the image to the chat window created a direct link automatically. I think you'll have to chalk it up as 'things I've learned today'

Blesh, the image is deliberately ugly to discourage people from doing that on purpose. Bazar did it accidentally.

However, it's still been done, and now by two of you, it needs to be undone please.

It's a concept that's very little understood by casual web users, but annoys website owners rather a lot.

Direct linking to an image on someone else's site steals their bandwidth. Something I didn't know till I got a 'stern lecture' about it some years ago. I wouldn't mind betting that more than half the posters on these boards had no idea it was something they shouldn't do.

Why do I have to edit my post? I don't see any stratics violation. And the fact that its the 'don't link my crap' picture shouldn't effect uoguides bandwith. That is unless they were stupid enough to host that picture on their servers instead of photo bucket. Which would make me LOL.

Anyways, if you want it gone you'll have to do it petra, I can't from my sidekick. Besides, isn't that your job?

Policing the stratics boards, one post at a time?

I know its wrong to do this, i have known this for many years. But i still do it!

Why?

Simple... coz its easy to do.

But lets face it 99.9% of the time youre not showing off the picture to millions of people, more like 100-300. Then once the thread is dead (which in most cases is within a day) the hosting website takes no more hits on that 33 KB picture. You would be lucky if the usage added up to 1MB of total bandwith used for most Pictures. So the bandwidth isue is a non starter

what you forgot to mention is the fact it also breaks copy right laws! Which is the bigger Isue, and can endup costing you lots of $$$$ in unpayed royalites
