Thanks a million Ona for posting this - I thought it was gone forever! Anyway I have an addition to this information, and as I venture further I will post any additional ones, too. Here ya go - only 1 this time that I don't see on the list; Death Goddesses drop Lv 37 Boot Production Manuals. I will keep my notebook close as I learn of any more and Thanks again!!

Have Fun!!
Doobius

they drop all the 50+ stuff. if u in a party notice if u hit revant he runs around and buff others, if u not in a party he attacks and 2 peelers come

D'ya remember which wafes drop what exactly, fishy?

For some reason my list has been removed, im gonna check with some admins to find out why, but if i get a version of it back the list was almost complete.

and these were the original composers:

EDIT: Thanks for adding these people to your list, they put alot of work into helping compile the original list, ive mailed the admins about checking the backup, but i dont know how often its overwritten, im suprised i cant find the original offline copy myself, only had a .txt with the karma lists for each topic, not the topic master copies them selves

Thanks for the list veratas, I added those people in.

Your manual drop list was removed because the administrator simply deleted the whole section of the forum it was in. You would think they could have just moved it--and all other helpful guides--here first.. I hope they can help you recover the deleted list.

LVL 55 Gauntlet manuals - Arcane Giants

These manuals drop at wafes as well (not sure which ones as they come in mobs..)

57 Sheild
60 Gloves
61 Shirt
61 Pants
62 Boots
62 Helm *rare

Im just entering the mid levels (37-40) as you dont have a lot posted for the level 41 upwards to 50ish i will keep my eyes open and take notes as i play as i have armour and weapons makers, great list I have printed it out so i can add to it in game

regards

Terry
