NPC Name: N/A
Monster Name: Fafnir
Steps:
1. Do KS99 Wyrm
2. Get Honey Wine
3. Use Honey Wine to spawn Fafnir
4. Use multiple THFs to get TH to 9-11 every fight
5. Repeat the above about 20 times
6. Watch Ridill not drop

Seen multiple reports of this lately, from several groups popping Fafnir repeatedly and not seeing any Ridills drop whatsoever despite extremely high degrees of Treasure Hunter. Back in the day when TH4 was impressive, Ridill had a significantly higher drop rate. Seeing people pop 40+ Fafnirs and not see a single Ridill drop seems... wrong, like the drop rate isn't configured correctly.

Might wanna look into it.

Maybe after all these years he's tired of making new swords just to have them stolen by adventurers :(
