Hello everyone,
I didn't know where to put this one, so I hope I'm not that wrong here. I also have no idea if this is of any interest for some of you - or maybe its even common knowledge.
Ok, so back in the days, way before WoC farming or stuff like that my old guild mates searched for a spot to farm Bo-Staffs. So someone recognized, that the mobs spawned by this quest drop them pretty frequently. Thats why we tried to do the quest in HM to see if the mobs do scale. Unfortunately this is the very first quest you have to do as a new Ritualist in order to progress. So we tried to grind the Crimson Skull in Panjiang Peninsula until we reached Level 20. And the quest mobs actually do scale.
Unfortunately I accidentaly grabed the Quest reward one day and so there was no way back.
This week I decided to grind all my way back up to Level 20 again to do some research (atleast I will have enough Nic Items in February 2023 ). Here is what I found so far - I will update this in the future if I find something interesting
1. The Mobs go from Level 3 in NM to Level 22 in HM (this information is missing on the Wiki)
2. They do drop Gold Items - Everything in the Picture above dropped Gold Max Dmg (except the Inscribed Staff and the Cane - these came from chests that rarely spawn there)
3. Quantity of drops in total is pretty bad
4. Blue and White stuff is pretty far from being max.
5. The Minions seem to be Warriors, as they dropped 2 Warrior Tomes in total (Profession is missing on the Wiki aswell) - Also the drop pool feels pretty warriorish (Axes, Swords, Shields etc.)
I hope this is interesting for atleast some of you
