yeah i got a gold frost artifact from that battle just let it die then they will run back to top of hill and your free to reep the rewards.

I doubt they intended it this way. I just got that Ritualist Staff from Whispering Ritual Lord by simply luring him into another mob.

Was out wandering around in the Jade Sea last night. There were drops laying all around before I even got into range. Mobs fighting each other all over and dropping loot for me.

It was after last night's update.

DeanBB · Jun 16, 2006, 02:32 PM // 14:32

I had a couple of drops waiting for me in Nolani mission last night as well and couldn't figure out how they got there as I hadn't been to that spot yet. Apparently the ghosts and bugs were fighting.

I was running around in Rhea's Crater and saw mobs fighting each other and dropping stuff for me

. It's probably a bug that came with yesterday's updates. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Markrids · Jun 16, 2006, 04:29 PM // 16:29

Can anyone list locations where monsters fight each other?

I was running around Rhea's as well last night, and the monk boss dropped his green for me after he got pwned by the Oni I spawned. I thought I was being clever, but apparently its just a bug.

BowLad21 · Jun 16, 2006, 04:52 PM // 16:52

does it matter if it is a bug or not? People will keep the best places to farm these battles secret so they get the best items, just like 55s.

striderkaaru · Jun 16, 2006, 05:57 PM // 17:57

55s are secret?

quickmonty · Jun 16, 2006, 07:07 PM // 19:07

These places are all over. Anywhere that mobs will fight each other. It must be a bug because it makes it too easy to get stuff.

Feels rather ghoulish standing around until a battle is over so you can rob the dead.

lifesux006 · Jun 16, 2006, 07:26 PM // 19:26

I farm like this :0

I go out side droks, watch them fight, when they done, pick up loot and sell, rinse, repeat.

Haggard · Jun 16, 2006, 07:35 PM // 19:35

I'm gonna wish I'd took part in this later, but right now I can't think of what to do with it.

Olfin Bedwere · Jun 16, 2006, 09:01 PM // 21:01

Way back in the early days mobs fighting each other did produce drops. Not saying that they went back and this isn`t a bug but they used to drop items.

quickmonty · Jun 17, 2006, 03:16 AM // 03:16

Trolls will always be owned, especially at the begining to the right, where there is like 8 avicarr, chased those trolls and beat them down lol.
