ive been farming corsairs in hm on and off for about a week now and i haven't gotten any collosal scim drops, can anyone confirm that they do still drop them? preferably in the last month or 2? also, do only the cuthroats drop them? any help would be appreciated.
ps: sry if this isnt the correct place to put this question.

I had 2 drop the weekend of the 12th. Q11 and Q12, but they are still dropping.

Got a Req 9 one while vanquishing...so, yes, they do still drop.

I got a few of these to mod up as caster weapons for some of my characters. The last one I got dropped around Xmas, which was when I stopped farming for them. Not 100% sure, but I think I've only got them from the cutthroats. This is probably nothing, but I found I had better luck in Zehlon Reach International than my normal district and always went there to do the farm.

Just a SS of the last one I got.

Around October last year was the last colossal drop I've gotten from there, before that I had about 9 or 10 drop for me. Cutthroats aren't the only ones to drop them btw...I posted a screenie on another thread awhile back which showed a raider who had dropped one for me. Side note however, I'm not sure if that farm is a worthwhile investment considering u can pick up a r9 for about 15-20k now, kind of like the elemental swords. Also, I've been doing that run every once in a while with my Mo/D, and it seems as though golds only drop about one in every 3 runs when they used to drop 3 per run. I dunno, but it's not as profitable as it used to be...

Wow October, that sucks. I had one drop yesterday. Req 10, though.

A q9 for 15-20k? Seems like a major price drop from what I remember. When did this happen?

They've been that low for months. After HM was released people swarmed Zehlon to farm Collossals and Tattooed Scimitars and prices tanked.

Personally, I got a Q9 Colossal in GW:EN (dungeon chest drop), and it's not that uncommon. GW:EN only made a falling economy worse for certain skins like Colossals.

And don't forget the Zaishen Chest!

LOL, I haven't gotten one from farming since Oct, 07 - but yesterday 5 keys in z-chest....colossal scimmy...go figure

quick update, can anyone confirm getting one from the first group in moddock crevice? i wouldnt b surprised if they didnt drop considering how easy they would be to farm with an echo trapper.

Moved this thread to the Farming section so more people "in the know" will get a chance to answer.

stretchs · Feb 05, 2008, 08:00 PM // 20:00

They are definitely still popping up outside of Astralarium as I got a q10 and q12 over the weekend. I still havent gotten an ele to drop from the raptor hatchlings after several hundred runs =\

mage767 · Feb 13, 2008, 06:01 AM // 06:01

They don't seem to be dropping at all at Barbarous Shore (in HM) although wiki points out they do.

Although I got a req11 from a Z-chest by luck.

What is going on with the colossal drop rate???

I picked up two non-max ele swords in NM within the first 100 or so runs on the nestlings. One was q5, the other q11. Good enough to convert into caster weapons.

Haven't had any drop in HM yet...i don't run it often enough or long enough to know.
