Blood worm killing

Post by Gullander »

So I have a level 230 dwarf trying to kill a blood worm for Hobbs quest with Gullander tanking. I have been softening up the worm leaving more than 50% for my dwarf to kill but after half a dozen rather lengthy battles no drop of keys for my dwarf. So two questions...1. am I doing something thing wrong in assuming more than 50% of a kill will get the drop and/or 2. Is this a last hit quest and I am wasting my time letting my dwarf do more than half the killing? I wouldn't have bothered to ask but I can't recall it taking more than 3 kills for a drop since a quest item in previous attempts. Maybe I'm just unlucky this time? :(

Added later...I noticed in the blood worm entry in the nifty database davidjett put together the key drop rate is 20% so no drop in 6 isn't too far fetched, assuming my 50%+ xp left is a sound procedure. Anyone know for sure?

hello my friend
I made that kill on my own at about 500 level. And it was difficult.
I remember a killed a ten / maggots before To see the drop.

So I don't think it has a 50% drop, but much lower.

Oh my! 17 kills was torture! And yes for a dwarf/Freya killing it is very hard without help.

I went back and around midnight finally got the drop! The random can be very evil at times! :o I guess my 50%+ procedure was ok to use. ;)

Did you get the quest to check on the missing guard, and then the guard told you about the worms stealing keys?

I just went to test this. I made sure I had the quest below in my quest book to start then started with a spawn of 8 worms. I didn't get an exact count but at 3-4 kills I had the keys drop.

No quest below = no drop though. If you haven't been sent to check on the guard and then talked to the guard you won't be able to get the keys to drop.
