I have found what may be a glitch in the Paladin epic 1.0 quest.
One of the items you must retrieve is The Tainted Darksteel Breastplate from the Thought Destroyer in Hate. I have killed this mob several (5 or 6) times and no BP dropped.
I do not have the Item ID number for the The Tainted Darksteel Breastplate, but the mob spawns at -225.1 -621.2 3.8 Hateplaneb and always drops Item # 7509. It just seems odd that the very first item in the arc would turn out to be this rare.
