celestial sage cultivation quest "written amulet"

I'm doing the culti 100 for my cleric atm to be prepared for the new expansion.
I have completed full gv and have to do the quest:
-->Spiritual Cultivation
> Celestial Sage
> Savant's Treasure
> Gathering Items
"Go to Desert Tower, and retreive the stolen Written Amulet from Flamebath Slither."
I killed already about thousand of those Flamebath Slithers (they are not close to the Desert Tower btw.). I got tons of dq items and tons of cards for card boss. Referring to database, drop rate for "Written Amulet" should be 5%. But I don't get this drop.
Has anyone completed this quest at last four days (not weeks, months or years ago)?
Were you in squad when you got the drop? Did you kill the mob which did give you the drop - or squad member?
Did they break it by intention - and will give us a soon a "fix" with an instant culti100 boutique item? (I even wouldn't be surprised, since most people have never completed their culti 100 and we will need it to reincarnate).

I tried like a month ago and never got it on my seeker and took a break from the culti. Seeker would be toon #3 for celestial. (veno and cleric are celestial). So idk if it is or not.untamed_pain demon veno 103-100-101

The drop rate for that item is awful. I had to kill a lot of monsters before i got lucky and i got it so keep trying till you get it0

The quest is not broken, why are you crying for compensation for something that works?
I've done full sage culti on 6 sage toons and the slither sometimes gave me the drop in like 5-10 kills, years ago it once took me like a half hour to get the drop.
My most recent sage culti completion was my 2nd seeker 2-3 weeks ago. It's always been stingy with the drop.0 -

Oh, you again. Reading ablilities = zero (where did I ask for any compensation??)

On topic, yes, the drop rate is absolute ****. But yes, they do drop them.Current: http://mypers.pw/1.8/#133167

You can't get the drop from someone else in squad from what I recall.
But aside from that, the drop rate is just ridiculous. One time it only took me three kills (lucky!) but last time I was killing for hours before I just gave up. Went back to it the following day and killed about 50 before I got it. No, I haven't done it within the last few days, but it has often taken days worth of trying in the past so I imagine it is just the same now.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Good to know. I can help out my psychic then. xD
Used to just be unsquaddable for a couple of parts but I'd remembered the flamebath slithers being one such part.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Check:
1) quest list full?
2) inventory full?
3) anybody else in squad?
4) killing right type of mob?
and if all else fails, the cure-all:

This, one thing I hated when I did my demon culti is the horrible quest drop rate in the OHT maps. I spent 2 hours one day on the mobs in map4?(i think) . If i remember right there was like several different sets of mobs you had to kill for one drop, they hit hard (for me at the time) and about drove me insane

I hate that quest with passion. I was lucky with my first two toons but boy...it took an eternity to get the drop on my Psychic who was also just in TT90+5/Morai weapon at the time.[SIGPIC]http://i.imgur.com/MtwcqjL.png[/SIGPIC]

The quest is written badly because it does not tell you where Flamebath Slither is located. I checked PWWIKI on the Moonshade Desert page and it looked like it is a boss in BH79 but looking here it looks like it is just a mob in Moonshade Desert . Trying to do these quest drives me nuts when they don't tell you such information. Also many players English is often so bad that it is very hard to understand what the heck they are talking about.Rise to Become Mighty so on the Wings of the Leviathan We will Soar....

He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!--Poem part by: Lewis Carroll0 -

Just keep trying. You'll get it eventually.JanusZeal - Heavens Tear wrote: »The quest is not broken, why are you crying for compensation for something that works?
Wow. Who the hell do you think you are? If I had to grind on mobs for over a day or so for a single drop that never showed I'd think something was wrong too considering all the issues related to the recent expansion. Things that had nothing to do with the new content are broken. Venos cannot summon pets while flying for example.
It's beneficial to the rest of the community and game staff for people to bring up suspected issues here in the forums for others to confirm or not confirm consistency.
The op was looking for such confirmation. Not crying or making demands for compensation. Try showing a little respect.I **** bigger than you...
Shut up and play the game.....Damn0 -

You're misreading the wiki. Flamebath slithers dropped (note: dropped, as card drops have been removed) cards for a boss in 79, nothing there says they're in 79.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Yes, it drops. But after a few hundred kills. When I finally got it, I yelled FREEDOM!!!...A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the heavens come crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear in this world, I bid you stand, warriors of Pellucidar!
