If Swamp Clubs dropped of Grawl in Shiverpeaks Gold/Purple, they would drop from the chests there too, and considering nearly everyone used to and a lot of people still do run Port Sledge, which is Grawl heaven, i highly doubt they drop there. Although reading about, i think maybe its time to get Hells chest running groups up and running again.

I ran over 13 000 chests in hells precipice over the last 5 years,
never seen a single swamp club. Though nothing is certain I highly doubt hells precipice is the place to look.

Also the grawls you are looking for probably are those outside of surmia, as snodaard claims he found some whites while farming for necklaces.
Though I'd like to see a screen of that because I've done my own share of necklace farming 2-3 years ago and can't recall any swamp clubs (and I think I'm good for about 5 000 necklaces in total).

Swamp Clubs dropping from Grawls in HM? Very interesting, never heard of that before, never had one drop anywhere since I've learned they're rare/valuable (and that was after the nerf, if I got any before I just didn't care and didn't remember). But what do you think about this:

It should be noted that I didn't start at ArenaNet until about 5 months after the release of Prophecies, but I was told that the Ram's Hammer was the placeholder hammer during much of its development, which meant the Swamp Club was simply a legacy item that never had its art replaced with a proper model. No model ever existed for a "Swamp Club" though, and that is why it was simply retired from our loot drops.

he is lying, sorry. friend had one drop (gold, req10 13% stance) a couple of years ago. he ended up trading it for a req8 15ench dwarven axe, lol

Is John Hargrove the same "John" that Gaile allegedly quoted as saying r7 items could still drop a while back and has some players convinced that means there are still max r7 items dropping?

Please don't misunderstand - it's not that I'm trying to rag on devs, not at all! But I think it's a safe bet that the GW source code is REALLY complicated. I find it hard to believe there is one single ANet employee who can remember and answer every detail of what is, what is not, and what is no longer possible on que. The updates to address and fix "bugged" loot on several occasions over the years also lead me to believe these drop tables in the game are far from straight-forward to even the people working on the code.

Anyway, given acceptance that the devs are human, too, and just as prone to mistakes as the rest of us, I'm reluctant to simply take their word as gospel on all matters especially in the face of a lot of contradictory anecdotes from multiple players. :/

That's my two cents on it (in case anyone cares.

)

o m g pizowned · Jan 14, 2011, 05:29 AM // 05:29

by couple i do mean 2 or 3. don't really remember, its probably closer to 3 now.

Da Tru Legend · Jan 14, 2011, 05:46 AM // 05:46

I'm pretty sure 13%'s stopped dropping "more than a year before Hard Mode," so that Swamp Club probably didn't drop after John claims he removed Swamp Clubs ("more than a year before Hard Mode").

I know I had a white one drop while doing hard mode, I just merched it, but that was before the swamp club hype. I would have merched it anyway, that is all a big joke imo.

KamikazeChicken · Jan 14, 2011, 07:50 AM // 07:50

Swamp clubs still exist, and there used to be a few sources of them in Kryta. I'm unaware of grawl dropping them, but I don't spend my time looking into this sort of thing. If I get up the boredom I'll go scrounge around and try to get one to drop again.

If white Swamp Clubs drop from Grawls, it doesn't mean they can drop in gold as well...
Thr drop pool for the different rarities is not the same.

Truth.

But a screenshot of a fresh dropped white one would still be interesting.
