i've seen a few people discussing this, and there seems to be mixed stances on this argument i myself zak frequently, and i can safely assure everybody Zakum is GLITCHED, it is NOT the ring, one of the runs i did was actually to test that theory, asked everybody to remove their rings (i always do 6man runs) when zak died, it not only covered the floor with potions, skillbooks, mesos and equips, but more skillbooks, the card, and all SEVEN Zhelms piled up in the left and right corners. everyone unequipped the ring before we started the timer to make the squad, and nobody equipped it for the entire duration of the run ;p so yeah =) hope this clears things up for people

actually it being a glitch makes sense. the increased drop rates for the astaroth boss equips. what im thinking is they either just decided to do all bosses or somehow they included zakum in the increase.

Episode 1 Revamp o The quest flow has been smoothed out so that it�s more accessible to more players. o Level restrictions on certain quests have been removed. o Item drop rate for mid bosses and final bosses have been increased. o EXP reward for each quest increased substantially. Not sure if zak = episode 1 but that would explain this

I've noticed a better drop rate at skele as well, i found 3 dragon scales in less then 4 hours while from 125-159 I've only found 2. I think Nexon increased the drop rate?

Zakum is definitely not episode 1, so it was probably unintentional or they purposefully didn't mention it.

If they increased the drop rate, it may explain why someone on my BL got a Chaos Scroll at Pap. @_@ This makes me want to start soloing Pap again. Maybe try Pianus, too.
