How to identify fields/mobs that drop pots?

Player Questions Started Last reply 19 posts
When C5 first came out, it seemed like any field area dropped pots. After one of the post-C5 updates, that seems to have changed. Is there any way to know in advance? The "World Info" feature on the in-game map doesn't seem to help, although I might be missing something.
I can tell you that the danger area by the crypts of disgrace, doesn't drop any pots.
In cemantary herbs dont drop either. Could have been a swet spot for my Paladin but without herbs other places are still better.
In general, it seems like dungeons do not drop pots - either 7 signs, or Antharas lair and such. Alligator island does not too though .. maybe it depends on how much HP mobs have, like 2x 3x 4x ... HP mobs.
The alligators on Alligator Island do drop pots.

Anyone know about frozen lab?

The alligators on Alligator Island do drop pots.


O OK, I was hunting only those Lads for spoils, and they are 2x HP.
Enchanted Valley does not drop pots, as I heard.
I can confirm EV.

Devil's Island (thank you for messing up the spawn yet again NC) does not drop herbs either. Neither do the mithril mines.

In GoE, only the Nos drop herbs.

Herbs dropped last I was there.. Did they change it again?? Jerks.
Yes, when C5 first came out, EV and AI dropped pots, now they don't. But the presence or abscence of dungeons and multi-HP mobs alone does not tell if pots are dropped. Cemetary doesn't drop, Orc Barracks doesn't drop Crypts of Disgrace doesn't drop. Fortess of Resistance (the old Partisan's Hideout) does have 2X mobs, and yet pots are dropped. It seems to me like NC should add this info to the World Info feature in the map.
AI still drops pots. I was just there yesterday and I remember picking them up.
Well, that is good news about AI. Does anybody know if Timak Orcs drop pots?
Timaks does drop herbs yes....FG doesn't drop though
you guys remember the post i made about pot drop logic?
there seems to be no logic in how the pots drop, the only rule seems to be they dont drop in dungeons
pots drop area : VoS, BS, FotD
no drop : DC

Hmm, what mobs way you hunting? I was doing daelin lads, nos lads and nos lad warriors few day ago, havent gotten a single herb.

Anyone know about frozen lab?


In Frozen Lab, single mobs drop herbs. Group/splitting mobs (even in the same spot) don't.
Alligators drop herbs. Those Lads do not.
The Formor and Bugbears just outside Ivory Tower drop herbs.

Some of the Timak Orcs south of Oren drop pots. I can confirm that 'troop' orcs do not.

Alligators drop herbs. Those Lads do not.



yup, only the lower level alligators drop pots, the ones that throw tire size daggers and up do not.
