Hi, it seems that Valakas isn't spawned, he doesn't show up as alive or dead on the interactive map on the website (http://lin2century.ch/en/raid.php).

[Lin2Marduk]

Hello

His cross is shown in the top left Corner for some reason...I don't know why myself. Maybe ist because he is somehow in his waiting Status.

[danielder]

That would explain it, but when I did the quest and went in to see if he spawns, he didn't show up, the boss room is empty. :/

[Lin2Marduk]

it takes 10 minutes until he spawns after entering his "room"

[danielder]

Oh, that makes sense, thanks.

[danielder]

Hi, so I've tested it and it indeed takes about 10 minutes for Valakas to appear (he killed me in 2 hits, which was expected).
So that made me curious, and I tried Antharas as well. He took like 15 minutes to spawn, but to my surprise, it wasn't the weak, lvl 79 version, but the strong, lvl 85 version, even though I went in alone. I don't know if that's intended or not, but I thought I'd share it with you. 

[danielder]

Hello, I wanted to test if Baylor works too, but I can't get the item (Water Dragon Scales) needed to kill the first instance boss (Tears). The item (and a few more key items) is supposed to be dropped by a mob named Fafurion Kindred after keeping him alive for 5-7 minutes, then he dissapears, and drops the item. The dissapearing part works, the items don't drop.

This is the guide I've been using: http://www.lineage2media.com/Dark%20Cloud%20Mansion%20Guide.html

The Dark Mansion instance works perfectly, but these special items don't drop sadly in chromatic highlands.

[Lin2Marduk]

Hello

I can't explain why there is only a strong Antharas. Well I can say: because the others were removed someday. But since I'm not looking in all those files permanently I did not notice so far...

About the chromatic Island items. The same goes here. The Drops do no longer exist because of a certain reason. I think they (L2J) have been removed because it is "officially" no longer part of H5. But I don't know exactly. The Point is, there are Player in our DB that have These items. And i know they dropped in the past. I have many backups stored, maybe I'll find a Version in which the Drops are still in. If so I'm going to add them again and let you know when ist done.
In the past, we tested the whole isle of prayer instance, and everything worked.

[danielder]

Hi

Thanks very much for looking into these things! I'm sure there are more important issues, so I don't think it's necessary to go through all the past versions just for this. I was just curious and tried to test some bosses. 

By the way, I would like to ask, is it possible that some Grand Bosses don't drop their special drops anymore? I've killed Queen Ant and Zaken many times now, but I haven't got a single Queen ant ring, or Zaken's Earring. Maybe it's just a small droprate though, and I'm unlucky.

[Lin2Marduk]

Allright, the Drops are in. Spirit of the lakes can now be farmed when killing Water Dragon Detractors and Water Dragon Claws/Scales when killing Fafurion Kindred. Now you are free to do the instances of Baylor.

For the QA ring, you are not the first who is asking me this. And I have the very same answer for you despite the fact that I know you probably don't want to hear it. It's just bad luck. I controlled everything inside the npc XML files (including Drops) and everything is correct. The shown dropchance in our dropcalc is also 100% correct. I know this is the Thing Players never want to hear and as I Player you probably think this can't be, I'm not buying his Story...But I'm not the Kind of guy who lies to Players because I always think for a longer period of time. Can't give you any other advice than try it again and good luck!

[danielder]

Hi,

the dropcalculator on the site says that the droprate for ring of baium is 100%, but it still didn't drop it.
