Rare mobs fixes

by Daemon » Fri Feb 20, 2015 9:37 pm

A rare mob or monster is on a different timer than normal mobs in the area or sometimes only spawns X out of every Y instances you enter. Like elite mobs, rare mobs have a dragon around their portrait; however, unlike elites, this dragon icon is silver and lacks a wing on the side. They can also be elite (aka Rare Elite), in which case the wing is present. Rare mobs also have a unique name that distinguishes them from normal mobs, and unlike elite mobs (unless they are elite too), no "Rare" will appear after their name in the tooltip.


Here is a new video about how rare mobs are scripted on Nostalrius Begins.
Hope you like it !

Just saw it earlier. Great stuff, but, the video doesn't showcase any of the rares that do indeed drop Rare Quality loot specific to their loot tables only.
But I'd assume those are working as well?
Examples of such rares - There are 2 of them very close to each other in Alterac Mountains:

Lo'Grosh: http://www.wowwiki.com/Lo%27Grosh

And what about Spirestone Battle Lord? Is he a rare on Nostalrius or not?
He's one of the ogres in LBRS who drops the very famous weapon: The Nicker.

Great job ;)
No member ever downed a raid boss, by dying for his guild. He killed the raid boss, by DPS'ing it down to zero.

I was also a little bit surprised, that we didnt see a single rare mob with rare loot. But i have trust in the devs ;)
So the next video presentation is about old (pre 1.4) mounts? :mrgreen:
