I've been wondering if rare (gold) items drop in Ascalon??

From I've seen, rare items start dropping in the Northern Shiverpeaks (from the Summit Beastmasters), but I've NEVER seen a rare drop from a Charr or any other creature in Ascalon, people are saying they used to solo Nolani Academy, and that rare items used to drop there, but I've never seen a rare drop in Nolani, or any other place in Ascalon. Maybe I'm just very unlucky but I just want to have this clear ^^

5000 gargs and not a single rare, got a couple black dyes tho

Swehurn · Jan 02, 2006, 08:53 PM // 20:53

I'm with the OP - the earliest I've ever seen a rare is Yak's Bend.

Viruzzz · Jan 02, 2006, 09:17 PM // 21:17

i think technically you can get a rare anywhere. the chance is just extremely small.

i've gotten purple drops from gargoyles (not armor though, only weapons)

i got a gold from a place above fort ranik, forgot the area, dont go there anymore =P

Maxiemonster · Jan 02, 2006, 09:24 PM // 21:24

I think the only place where it's impossible to get a gold item is in Pre-Searing. I've had a couple of gold armors in Post-Searing Ascalon, if that counts too

Pevil Lihatuh · Jan 02, 2006, 10:28 PM // 22:28

My bf had a gold armour in the Nolani mission in the last beta, and I got one in the Surmia mission way back in the first week of play. So unless they changed it since then, it's possible.

avoll · Jan 02, 2006, 10:54 PM // 22:54

You can get gold drops from a big group of charr that are under a bridge.
Ive got gold weapons there a few times, of course there never max damage but never the less there gold.

Diablo??? · Jan 03, 2006, 12:53 AM // 00:53

never even had a purple drop until boris pass... but i did find a black dye dropped from a lvl 0 aloe seed in preseer.

Nater · Jan 03, 2006, 01:41 AM // 01:41

I can confirm rare drops in Nolani academy. I used to get a couple every run(solo) when my monk was just a wee lil lad...usually from the ghosts in the bonus section.

That was a long time ago though, dunno if they're still dropping there on a regular basis.

dimirpaw · Jan 03, 2006, 02:05 AM // 02:05

I have only gotten purple drops which really arn't that great, some runes from the armor, but never a gold item. If your looking for Gold LA and up would get you some gold.

Gold items in pre are just as rare as non-minor runes are in pre

Don't know about the ascalon chests though...if those can drop golds that it

dimirpaw · Jan 03, 2006, 03:04 AM // 03:04

Never have for me and I have opened about a 100+, just purples for me.

Konrow · Jan 03, 2006, 03:05 AM // 03:05

chests have a tiny(i mean tiny) chance of dropping golds in ascalon and the chance starts getting higher the more expensive the key gets

zidergirl · Jan 03, 2006, 03:11 AM // 03:11

I have seen a sapphire just outside ascalon . is that the sort of rare you mean?
and a fair few silver dyes

phosho · Jan 03, 2006, 03:28 AM // 03:28

does charcoal count as a rare?

Nater · Jan 03, 2006, 05:36 AM // 05:36

I'd say Gold items in and around Ascalon are just as rare as Silver/Black dyes and Charcoal. Ruby's, Sapphires, and Monstrous Items are just crazy rare anywhere.

I've got 800 hrs in of playtime(and no i dont' leave my game idle), I've found ONE Monstrous Claw, ONE Sapphire, and ONE Rune of Sup Absorb.

Only major thing I haven't found is a Sup Vigor.

Toilet Monster · Jan 03, 2006, 03:09 PM // 15:09

i got a gold charr armor thingy once... it had major wildy on it >.<
but gold armor is still rare... so charrs drop rares =p

Witchblade · Jan 03, 2006, 03:29 PM // 15:29

i ve never seen any gold or gold armor around Ascalon :/
I recently dropped a Black Dye outside Piken.. that's the only "nice" drop i ever had in there :/

DeathDealer · Jan 03, 2006, 03:41 PM // 15:41

I got a gold 6-22 war hammer from grawl outside of Sardelac Sanitarium...still have it (nostalgic..sp? value)..
