Dark Spirit Drop?

[JamesBlunt]

Hello everyone, very short question. Does Dark spirit pacts drop in castle Zvahl Baileys? I am in need of a pact and I dont want to spend the 100k for it. I have been looking on wiki (say that no drop at castle), on alhakazham (says it does drop) and used the search functions and only found that dark spirit pacts drop in Ulg..er.. range(the mountain place): viewtopic.php?f=31&t=27002&hilit=+Dark+spirit+drop
Is the post.
I havent been here in close to 2-3 years and i cant remember if one did drop when i was farming can anyone clarify this? Thank you

General rule of thumb: Do not believe Alla unless the data found there coincides with data found elsewhere (preferably the Wiki).

The pact drops as a rare drop off Kindred Summoners in Uleguerand Range and it's also a drop from Viscount Morax in Castle Zvahl Keep. However his drop rate is horrible. I'm 1/5 on it and I consider it lucky >.> The fact that the NM shares its spawn time with 3 other NMs makes it incredibly annoying to camp as well.

[Raineer]

As stated, only by the NM there.

This NMs do NOT share a respawn time. This is most definitely a falsified rumor. All four NMs can be up at once.

1/1 without TH Guess I was lucky

If no luck there, you can always get some friends together or shout in Whitegate for a ISNM2000 60 cap run. any of them drop light and dark spirits, and a few other goodies as well.

Wouldn't all of them being up at once only strengthen the rumour ? Kill them > They'll all pop on one of the repop timers or whatever junk. I don't know how they work, all I know is they never give me their items :[

Yes all 4 can be up at once, however apparently only one can pop each 2 hours or so. So if Morax was killed 2 hours ago either he or one of the 3 other NMs there can pop in his place. Then 2 hours later another NM will pop regardless whether the first one is still alive or not. That's the way I see it at least. And also for a NM to pop, the placeholder must be killed.

For my first and 2nd try, Morax popped within 2 hours back to back. The 3rd time I camped for 5 hours without a pop, fourth time it took 10+ hours and the fifth time I think it was about 8 or so

Not entirely true, I've seen three of them pop in a single set of placeholders.
Usually I kill the respective placeholders of the NMs and farm something else then. One time when I came back (~16 minutes after the last placeholder was killed, the Pawn), Romwe was up, tried to hurry there but was intercepted by both Bifrons and Morax who happened to have spawned. Romwe hadn't been killed when I got there, but none of them dropped anything, so it's not like I had missed out on something.

Droprates aren't too nice anyway, got my very first Dark Spirit pact a few days ago when I finally went 1/10 on Morax, same applies to the other NMs of course, not even Vapula drops his scrolls frequently.

Wow Very sad that this place is starting to turn into alla with bullshit flying everywhere.

The NMs do not share a spawn timer. I have had the war and the blm up at the same time. They also have a respawn timer of one hour. As I have gotten the war to pop one hour after I had killed it.

Quite honestly, my dark spirit pact drop rate is atrocious. I can fish to 100k faster than I can farm the Spirit.

With that said, it WILL drop in Castle, you just have to have the patience of a saint.

I have been looking on wiki (say that no drop at castle), on alhakazham (says it does drop)

Time to change the wiki, I guess.

brb

Done.

Now, are we sure the ones in Uleguerand Range don't drop Orc Piercers or Testimonies, and that the ones in Baileys don't drop Demon Skulls?

[Raineer]

I guess the meripo days of U.Range are gone, used to get 2-3 spirits per party lol

Baileys (NMs) drop skulls. Grand duke batym can also drop dark spirit pact iirc.

I got mine off dark elementals in baileys, couldnt hurt to smack them around. This was ages ago though

Meripo in Uleguerand Range, you should get at least 2 in a 2 hour PT. I remember people argued about lotting it when it used to drop.
