I have been looking around for information about what the drop rate of the Imperial Rod of Restraint is. I know they decreased the drop rate late last year for regular participation and not great success participation. I was just wondering if any of you has an idea what the drop rate is for this item from the Dragons in Whispering Cavern and Rothe Valley and if it even worth the time.
Short answer:
Don't bother.
Long answer:
Don't bother unless you are running those Dragons for your Dailies anyway.
I've never seen one and the only person that I know who has tends to have insane luck with drops in this game anyway (AkA gets both Mainhand and Gloves in IWD in the course of regular play without grinding on every character long before he can Craft them anyway).
So unless Epic Loot falls from the sky whenever you log on, don't worry about it. It will never drop for you unless you spend an obscene amount of time doing nothing but slaying those two particular Dragons.

Wow, is that how much they are now? Blimey.
Can't remember the exact price I paid for mine but it definitely had fewer digits...

never heard anyone drop it. nowadays it can be hard farm that dragons, because at not peak times, there are not always players to help you killing. maybe try to farm and when you got tired just buy it

Or you could sell it to me at a discounted rate. :cool:
Words to live by in this game.

It really is a shame that most stuff is easier to pony up than actually earn.

That's pretty much where I'm going with that. I have one toon I want it on and I know I'm just going to have to buy it regardless.
