I’ll have to take a look next time

Cool, thanks again for your time.
It might take a few tries though, cause those only drop as "failed" sets (when there's no set item corresponding to the rolled base item).
But with your MF meter, you should get one soon enough (1-3 kills is probably to be expected).
What's most important is to let us know if you happen to get a blue item with regular max durability at least once, in which case the kill isn't actually subject to quest drop rules.

That’s great to know!

My accounts are tied up right now in AFK Chronicle games.. but will post when I’m free/tested

I thought the quest bug was fixed with RotW?

According to the patch notes, the only thing they changed in ROTW was to nerf andariel's TZ drop table (which is still technically subject to quest drop rules).
They didn't change anything regarding how quest drops work specifically, at least not in ROTW.

This is from TZ Andy… Game created with Barb

Killed with Qbug Warlock

Confirmed double Durability.. should be 60dur

Cool, thanks.
BTW, you don't need a dedicated character for Andariel, she's always q-bugged no matter what.
Now, it would be really nice of you if you could check a blue item on either meph|dia|baal, any of those 3.
I'll fully understand if you don't have the time, but if you do, be sure that it's a quest+TZ kill.

Another mace

TZ Meph, confirmed double Durability again 72/120 Dur

No trash loot; 2x Unique, 1x Rare, 2x Set, 1x Blue with Double Dur



Edit// (you sure about Qbug Andy? Blizzard mentioned that was “fixed” this ladder. They got rid of ALWAYS Qbug. Have you tested that?)

Some serious evidence right there, thanks a lot!
Yeah, they mentioned a nerf on her TZ drop pool specifically IIRC, so that she doesn't drop very rare uniques so easily.
But technically, she still has a permanent quest drop, which is why they nerfed her in the first place, caused everybody could get a quest drop all the time (if TZ as well), without even having to build dedicated glitch chars.

Anyway, i guess that answers 's question, it's still definitely worth it to create dedicated characters, at least for duriel|meph|dia|baal.
It's gonna be even more worth it if they decide to keep the changes to statue drops from the PTR, cause you'll be able to farm them even without TZ (the quest drops being the cherry on top).
But my guess is that the drop rate of those will be significantly lower than if the boss area is terrorized.

Nice!! You’re definitely right about Andy. Good info for me going forward

Thank you!
