Has enyone found a copy of Mask of the Shadowcat rank 2 yet ? no luck here and never seen one for sale in bazaar yet. if you have seen it drop what zone have you seen it drop in ?
its beginning to look like spell drops in zones according to level, looks like 76 to 78 spells drop in tier 1-2 zones, 79 - 80 spell's drop in T3 - 4 zones. I have yet to see any rank 2 level 79 or 80 spell drop in a zone outside a tier 3 zone.

A shammy in my guild had it drop in Crystallos, went to someone's box druid.

ugh thats what i was afraid of, so that pretty much confirmes it, blessing hp rank 2 spell also drosp there a friend todl me he got it to drop there so that pretty much nails where the 79 / 80 rank 2's is dropping.

I have looted a couple 79-rk2 from Steam Factory, so Crystallos is not the only source for those. Probably more plentiful in Crystallos, I would imagine.

Nah ...... U will see spells drop more often in Zeka than u will in Crystallos ... I have farmed there with a friend regularly and only got 5 spells so far... none druid

i didnt say they wouldnt drop there, i said from looks of things, the 79-80 spells looks like they are only dropping in T3 and T4 zones. Steam Factory and Gyrospire Zeka is both T3 zones as well as Meldrath Mansion and Ship, Crystallos is T4 zone.

Biggest problem is on my server noone groups in steam factory or ship and meldrath mansion, getting flagged for crystallos is almost nonexsistant, mostly only guild groups do them. leaves zeka and even then heck finidng people for it.

Im wondering if they will change the quest for crystallos. For being the end zone it wasnt very hard to get access to it.

Getting access to the exp versions of the zones is only the beginning (and how hard was it getting access to the exp versions of the 'end zones' in TSS? None at all, you just walked in whenever you feel like it with zero keys).

It's getting access to the end zone raids via first obtaining the key and then completing some (non-trivial) precursor raids to open the raid access that takes effort. You'll note that Beyond the Barrier doesn't stop/end once you get the key.
