    Hi.

    Usually i would ask @Elgarion about this, but since he is gone(I think) ill post this here.

    From R98, they are 9 new Ephemeral relics for the pets.

    So far we have found :

    Leather ball of daemon slaying
    Leather ball of dragon slaying
    Leather ball of elf slaying
    Leather collar of kobold slaying
    Leather collar of elemental slaying
    Leather harness of animal slaying
    Leather harness of plant slaying
    Leather harness of undead slaying

    I have been discussing this with @Coswald_Dirthmire, and it seems the ninth one as not yet been discovered.

    @Winston , can you help us with this?, we need to know, if the missing relics is in the loot tables? or maybe the drop rate is way too low?

    Since these relics aren't artifacts they show in the API as normal loot, as of now the 3rd collar (presumably that's the missing piece) has yet to drop. I am curious if it's an error (either not in, or at the wrong rate or in the wrong table, I know some mobs have several) or if it's just not been found yet. Even something like the large mushrooms, which don't get killed a ton, have surely been killed enough by now to drop one for instance.

    Was it stated anywhere that these new "relics" can be found in any specific "location(s)" ?
    It's a big world out there........... :)

    I keep getting them in my inventory but I've not paid enough attention to see specifically. At first I thought they were dropping from the mob type that they were meant to be good at killing, but I know I've gotten the kobold killing one many times and always in the Rise, where there are no kobolds. And I picked up a plant slaying one the other day, no clue how that happened or even where, other than the 1-shottable plants in the shardfalls, I would use a plant killing collar. Are people actually using these over the crafted generic damage increase collars? Are they that much better?

    I could see a couple of them being useful, but most scenes are not homogenous in terms of what you're fighting so you'd be swapping it all the time unless you're using it for like, bosses.

    To be honest, I don't know how the loot tables and drops work yet. I'm glad you posted this here in Bugs Feedback. Other devs can perhaps take a look.

    @Elgarion is great! Big shoes to fill.

    Still working on what drops what, but it's by mob rather than location. Updating this list with info from folks below:

    Leather ball of daemon slaying - Reapers (Skeletons?)
    Leather ball of dragon slaying - Lich Mages (Maybe other liches as well)
    Leather ball of elf slaying - Kobolds
    Leather collar of kobold slaying - Elves
    Leather collar of elemental slaying - Kk'ongg (and seemingly clockwork cats, maybe other clockworks as well)
    Leather harness of animal slaying - Barbarians
    Leather harness of plant slaying - Trolls/?
    Leather harness of undead slaying - Dragons, Wyverns.

    Can't recall what's dropping the plant one, hopefully someone can fill that in and also correct/clarify anything I might have gotten wrong.

    I got one from a troll in Ruined Keep. Someone in my party got one from The Breach, though I don't know what MOB.

    Thank you @Ysold and @Tirrag! I have made some updates. The API shows the plant relic dropping in the Breach and Northwest Blackblades (along with Ruined Keep, Troll Bridge, and Ravensmoor) so I am wondering if it's dropping from Trolls and Daemons both.

    My question is and where has Elgarion gone to? Did I miss a notice. And regarding the OP so sorry to interrupt your thread but that was worrisome news to me.

    Elgarion is in the process of buying a tavern with some buddies. He will be mostly gone for a month or two and then will return to us in a more limited fashion. We wish him well but hope he still has a good amount of time for us because he does amazing things for the game!

    Its in the loot drop, just in a rare spot and wont change it. :p
    Drop rate is greater than some other ephemeral.

    Daemon Slaying dropped from a Zombie in Despair. I believe a Zombie as opposed to a Petrified Zombie.

    @DavidDC I would tend to agree with @simon1974 on this.
    Some sort of "clue" wouldn't be too much to ask in this regard.... :)

    These are all the "ephemeral" thingies I see in the API as "pet equipable" -

    I don't see a 3rd collar type even in the list so...if it exists, nobody's ever gotten one?

    [​IMG]

    As far as where to get them, each of these can be individually queried for specific scenes but I think the above posts & Coswald's list have already adequately answered this.

    for the last Ephemeral collar some hints were given recently by DC i believe that it is on a MOB that has been added to the game recently but one that doesnt get killed that often.
