Band Of Ice and its dropability.

[herjulf]

Once BOI was best hunted in frontier due to raumariks "bugged
(?*) droprate, however rumour has it that Windswepts in frontiers no longer drops BOI.

Is this confirmed?

I was in raumarik the other day and killd 250+ windswepts and got ONE drop chain sleeves af98, which shows the situation with raumarik droprate aswell btw.

What is your experience?

1 hour in raumarik = 1 boi. Just a matter of luck, methinks.

 

[Carlos Bananos]

all the frontier zones are ROG now, so boi wont drop there

 

[old.Molotok]

1 BoI at Raumarik = about 1 bub @ 45

boi=stupid

my wear done on too fast imo at least 1 pt per day

i once farmed windswepts at blendrake from 2300 to 0700. at 0730 a healer in my guild stole a boi from her boyfriends vault and gave it to me.

Well last time I went to Raumarik BoI hunting, the first Windswept Wraith I killed dropped a BoI, then nothing for 2hours so I left.
Then in a few days time I went to farm again got a BoI on my 3rd kill. All of my BoI have come from the Wraith camp to the right from Raumarik entrance at the end of the river/stream.
Ofc dropping on 1st and 3rd kill was very lucky, but I've got a total of 4 and I can't remember ever waiting around for days trying to get one.

 

[infozwerg]

drops more often for kobolds i guess

Yet another 2 hours spent in raumarik, yet another boi.

*touches his dwarf lucky thing*

Got 2 when some windswepths aggroed while looking for WoWs a while ago.

It's all about luck

Just wondering...where is it best to camp for BoI in Raumarik?

The camps in the frontier have perfect spawnrates etc, I haven't found a spot in Raumarik that comes close to them.

I actually lvled my BB on Windswept Wraiths, think I've goten 12 BoI or so, but sold most of them.

first mob we killed on mini guild hunt to help doomspydy hit 50, we got BoI (typically it went to the PoC bot lvl 20)

 

[Ajanti]

The drop rate is completely random. Sometimes you get a BoI right away, other times you dont get one at all. I have farmed 5 BoIs in Raumarik over the last few weeks, and my guess is I have spent 4-5 hours per Boi on average.

Chillsome Wights drop BoIs too, and unlike Winswept Wraiths they are slash vulnerable.

 

[Sharma]

Farmed Raum for 5 hours with my zerk, 5 hours and no BOI, thought screw it go buy one.
