Yeah that's it!.
Well, I've been asking to the people that have those shields how to get them, but.. They never respond '-'.
So, I thought "Hmm, why not making a thread on the forums.. Asking for PROVEN ways to get it!".
I heard that it can drop from Dark Fang Thwackers, what do you know about ^^ ?.
I hear there are only like 7 in existence.
I also hear the gremlins THEMSELVES drop them...
Only treasure boxes drop equipment. Darkfang shields are no special case.
"Rare Drops
Royal Jelly dropped a Jelly Mail today after a rather tough 4P run. Luckily the guy that got it pointed it out, else I wouldn't have noticed. I've updated the pages to reflect the drop, and have screenshots for proof, if needed/requested. Adilor 20:41, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
I got a Drake Scale Mail from the Royal Jelly--YodaBauer 16:10, 7 November 2011 (UTC)"
Also love puppies drop trinkets...
Not true Troupe, i know this because two weeks ago after killing the Jelly King, he dropped a Wyvern Scale shield.
But what about REGULAR monsters. No bosses or love puppies.
Loot doesn't actually come from the Royal Jelly itself, it comes from essentially a broken treasure box that spawns with the giant token at the end of the fight. Saying that RJ drops items is misleading as you have the same odds as any other treasure box in the stratum.
Althrough i do not know how to get the Darkfang Shield but i think roughly know how you may get it by drops.
I noticed that some people have gotten drops that match the levels theme or stat theme. A couple of weeks ago, i got a Firo Driver in the prize room after defeating Lord Vanaduke. Other drops i got from what i remember are:
Thwack Hammer: Compound 42 - Prize Room.
3 Shadowtech Alchemers - 2 in Legion of Almire Prize Room and one in Ghost In The Machine Prize Room.
Prismatech Alchemer - Gloaming Wildwoods - Prize Room.
Autogun - Cooling Chamber - Gremlin Grounds.
2 Brandishs - Treasure Vault.
Magic Hood - Devilish Drudgery - Everybody's Fired.
Skelly Mask - Firestorm Citadel - Smoldering Steps.
If this is infact true that items related to the level's monster or stat theme will drop, then if possible, the Darkfang Shield can drop in these type of levels:
Gremlin
Construct
Fire
Shock
It would make sense since one was found in Firestorm Citadel, as it is slightly elemental and completely fire themed. If monsters themselfs can drop items, then Constructs and Gremlins can drop it, maybe even Lord Vanaduke (due to him being fire and elemental) and the Roarmulus Twins.
Yes, indeed some say the Darkfang Thwackers themselfs can drop the shield, however it could be false as it has not been fully confirmed.
@ Duke - Not misleading at all. It wasnt from a treasure box, the item itself dropped directly where the Jelly King died, and no im not trolling. I sold that shield for a hefty profit and it was when i was still F2P, probably a few days before i bought an elevator pass.
Unless youre saying that theres some invisible treasure-box that has the possibility of breaking when he dies, but i dont think thats what youre saying.
He was saying that the drops from the jelly king aren't from the king itself. A red treasure box is spawned and broken along with the giant token.
Darkfang is a rare drop from treasure boxes in gremlin stratums.
Additional data is required regarding treasure drops. To get said data, it would be necessary to find the average number of drops per levels, record it, and then find out the method with which payout is determined. No one has done this.
