Invasion Spellbook Reptile Slayer?

Has anyone gotten a Reptile slayer spellbook from this invasion? How about the previous versions of this invasion? I have done at least 3 of these, and I have gotten every superslayer multiple times & several lesser slayer books, but never a Reptile slayer. I have 2 dragon slayers instead.

First. You did three invasions. :)

I have heard of two. They must be the rare. Dragon slayers are ridiculously common.

I think the other super slayers are equally common compared to each other.

Also I've got 8 9 12 slayers. :confused:

@Khaelor is correct.
Last time we had this invasion event I collected well over 200 books and none of them were a reptile slayer. I ended up having to trade for one. Other players have reportet similar low drop rates for reptile.

This time around I was a bit luckier and of the over 100 books I have gotten so far 1 was a reptile slayer.

Last invasion I got something around 150 books and I had 3 reptile slayers. I think this is more a typical non-random UO RNG than reptile being more rare than any other.

The generals drop the weapon in their hand. So if you want books you need to kill generals with staffs. Those are the mages.
Captains drop lesser books. 25 and 40 max.

I think the rest drop at the same rate. If I have three elementals someone else has three fey.
I have lots of dragon. Others must also. They are being dropped on ground.

The super slayers seem the same rate. Remember there are a bunch of single slayers. I do not have enough of those to compare. But it's like wanting a gargoyle slayer specifically. You may need a lot of books to get one.

Wolf slayer should be the triple damage version for a Cu.... but alas, I don't think wolf works at all on a Cu.
There's a few Slayers that should deal triple damage, but don't. For example, Dinosaur Slayer deals double damage, even though Reptile Slayer also deals double damage to dinos. Dino Slayer should really be considered a Lesser Slayer, and deal triple damage. Reptile Slayer/Dinosaur Slayer also doesn't apply to T-Rex, for some reason.

They were going to change Cus to Wolf slayer. But I brought up how there is no Wolf slayer instrument. I said they could put one in the clean up rewards but they chose not to change them from Fey, since there is a Fey instrument.

1590245246529.png I have also gotten a 27% Reptile. Based on only having gotten 2 so far, I think that for whatever reason, it IS the hardest book to get. (so far anyway).

Any evidence that the Vermin slayer is more rare than the other single slayers?

I have gotten 4 Vermin slayer books, of various SDI increase. But as I was looking through my books, I also realized I only had 1 Ice slayer book (NOT a 30%). Good old RNG! Between the original invasion, and this one, my "goal" is to end up with a COMPLETE set of 30 SDI increase slayer AND super slayer books. Not sure if I will make it though. ROFL

It would be great if there was another container to access on the paperdoll next to the special move book that only held books. All spellbooks, rune books, atlases, etc. They are all blessed already (except a few on siege). Would be great to be able to organize them out of the main pack and not have to redo it every time you die.

That would be pure RNG. Our unicorn this year... for whatever reason, Scorpion slayer.
Looks like the Reptile is the only one. I got a 25 Scorpion the first day. UO is a game of helping others and trading.

Dino, Myrmidex, and Eodon Tribes all seem like they *should* be lessers, but they were announced to all be super slayers, just like Eodon Slayer.

That's all of them, other than the 4 Eodon slayers. :)

So finally after 131-141 book drops, I get a 25% Reptile slayer. I say a range because I have 131 invasion books in inventory, but I threw away around 10 trash books. I am gonna hang a shingle on my house that says, "Gone fishing. I'm retired now".

So far for me out of 456 drops (not counting the less than 20 books that I trashed) I have every kind of book that drops.

Reptile has been rare, only 3... equally rare for me has been Ice Slayer (2), Air Elemental Slayer (1)and Bat Slayer (1).

49 books have been the 30-39 SDI, while 106 have been 40-50 SDI (7 @50). I have at least 25 of each super slayer with the most common being arachnid at 36 followed by demon at 31.

Just the other day I was complaining about getting too many Ice slayers and not one flame slayer. The "odd" slayers are not very common for me (bat, wolf, beetle, etc).

Last night, my wife and I were both in one of the invasions, and we were both attacking the same mage. I said to my wife, "you know... I really hope I manage to get a repond slayer book."

What I got was a bear slayer book. She got a repond slayer.

I swear someone at Broadsword heard me and said, "watch this."

I've never seen one of these until tonight. Is this a random slayer on the SDI book?
Somebody used the Obelisk and put titan slayer on the item in their weapon hand.

Wow! How do you use obelisk to put magic on items? No interpretable info in database, or if you can point to it will appreciate.
