Drop Rate of Podaltur's Fury
It took to me more than 25 hours of farming (in 5 days) to get Podaltur's Fury. I was farming with 3-2 hero/henchies and defeating Podaltur the Angry about 4-6 times/1 hour.

I would like to know whether boss's drops rate of green might be different for each boss o for each area. Say, whether low level areas have a smaller drop rate. It happened to me also with The Purifier near Kaineng city which took to me two or three days. Whilst bringing 2-4 hero/henchies, usually, it takes to me to farm a green 5 hours less or more. --mariano 11:25, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * I would bet it's all just random. I'd say greens have a fixed (and very small) rate of dropping, then combine that with loot distribution among the party (including heroes/hench) and you've got the makings for long streaks of nothing, or many drops in a row, or anything in-between. — HarshLanguage [[Image:qswearing_small.png|HarshLanguage]] 06:41, 18 February 2007 (CST)


 * Are you killing the boss while your hero/henchies are with you? Or are you pinning them far enough away so that you get all the drops? - Hohum 15:56, 23 February 2007 (CST)
 * I was killing the boss with the henchies near... Any case, when farming greens I seek to bring an optimal number of hero/henchies, a number which is enough to not be killed often, and to kill the fastest the boss. If I am not killed at all, then I take out hero/henchies. If I am not killed often but I can not defeat the boss or if it takes "ages", then I add hero/henchies. For example, if I can kill a boss 4-6 times in an hour using 3 heros, or kill the boss 2-3 times in an hour using 2 heros, I take 3 heros.--mariano 18:59, 1 March 2007 (CST)

Spirit Rift = ouch
As a warning, while Vanquishing I got hit by this boss's Spirit Rift, which did 530 damage to my AL65 in hard mode (ele base 60, +5 for prismatic). It also wiped 5 hero and henchie teammates in a single shot (I survived with 30HP). Incidentally, I was trying to run out of the AoE, so I'm not sure why I was considered adjacent (maybe lag). I'd recommend using Shelter or pin an interrupter on this boss if at all possible (I also remember that Rift hurting a lot in normal mode).
 * Agreed - I was cruising along in HM and wasn't expecting this guy. He insta-killed half my H/H party with his Spirit Rift and it was a wipe after that.  Lesson learned - be prepared.  Shadowlance 13:58, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
