be class if he spawned cuuldarach outside ligen and when killed only drops a single respec stone :< imagine the infighting over it from some people.

Drops and how they work:
There are two ways a mob can give you loot. The first and most common way is from a drop table. These are the drops that appear in green letters when a mob is killed. Every single drop that drops that way is subject to a random chance that is less than 100%. There are no exceptions. The chance can be very, very high indeed (greater than 99%) but it cannot be 100% if it drops in this way.

The only way to make a drop guaranteed is to have it drop from the monster's AI. Examples of this are quest loot when you kill the mob and get the quest item in your backpack. It is possible to make items that drop in this way random or guaranteed.

If it drops from a loot table it cannot be other than random which is how I know this is not a bug or a mistake in the code base.

Thanks Requiel for responding,

I think I am happy in the knowledge that there is a small possibility that some of the gear might not drop and not to go around expecting it to definitely drop. I wish the documentation was kept up to date more. Then this sort of thread would be less likely to happen.

I'm sorry this turned into a flame againest you requiel it wasn't intended to be one. It was originally posted here to allow the 24 other people on my raid know what the situation was. I gotta say though i am a bit disapointed though that 2-3 hours killing a single mob doesn't guarntee respec stones.
