Glad it is working. You should also see the randomly generated colored items too.

While in Umgah for about an hour I found 3 chests, each contained some lowbie potions and the best item drop I got was a bastard sword with 1d6 damage on it. The rate of drops is DEFINITELY better, the content though still seems lacking for a level 37 character... I still get decent XP there so I don't know why my drops are still bad... Anyway, driller, you ROCK. as a P.S. have you seen my PM I sent you? I never got a reply.

Just an observation here but it seems there are no loot chest drops what-so-ever in doing the giants ants ... Have been there for at least 5 levels of xp earning like 500-600 xp to now which is like 300 -250 xp and not a single drop has occurred ...

Animals/vermin do not drop chests.

Hate to be picky but they are insects not animals or vermin and they used too drop chests... In addition I was in the barn in the hamlet yesterday with a low level character and one of the rats dropped a loot chest, though I was surprised to see that happen ...

What I mean is if polar bears drop chests, winter wolves do, beetles (all 3 types) also do, as do spiders...

Then why is there a line were something as dangerous as these giant ants do not ?

Probably because their templates aren't correctly identifying them.

Then I hate to push the point but.... Ants are being identified incorrectly as they are neither animals or pests/vermin, they are insects though of giant stature still an insect...

It has been a while since I played, but I do agree the frequency and level of loot is much different than what I recall. Umgah used to be relatively profitable for a couple hour run, but now...not so much. Lol.
Play by the spirit of the rules, not by the letter of the law.
