The Bp still drops as well as the legs arms boots and bracers .. I have seen these drop on Fennin Ro and have the bp and legs ( passed on the others ) the bp is has the same stats as the thurg quest BP but has more wis. very very rare drop but well worth it unless you want to pharm kael / ToV / or Halls of testing for BP's . I am convinced that the pally armor from hate is not as uncommon as most people think, most hate raids END with the killing of meastro, the knights are on the second floor and the only people who want to go to the 2nd floor are pallies and druids, or poeple going to kill Inny. It took me 30+ hate raids to get the bp, and I have been to the second floor a grand total of 5 times. Go up there and get it... I now look like a dwarf bard :P
good luck all Clorthos "dwarven annoyance" Gianttoestomper 58 paladin
my self a lvl 47 pally with only 2 pally in guilde we killed 6 knights and got a pair of boots each and a bp i love them both but i still like the kael quest bp just as bad to get but all fun lol
my first trip to the 2nd floor of hate netted me the BP of the righteous:) followed by a fellow guildie getting the drop off the corruptor of life for the natures defender. IMHO the 2 best paladin drops in the game. hope next time we can reverse the loot. thank god i made a tunare/elf paladin no need for the FD.
These definitely drop righteous. My guild took out about 11 or 12, had 2 bracers drop and the falchion. I was lucky enough to get the falchion and a bracer.
We were in Hate last night and pulled 2 of these. I am a 53 Paladin on Bristlebane and the 2 we pulled were yellow to me so I'm thinking that they are level 54 or so. We weren't lucky enough to get any Paladin armor but a very nice rogue cloak called "Cloak of the Assassin" dropped from a knight. Go figure,lol.
I've spent several nights fighting second floor MOBs and all of them are under 57. I am 57 and every single one of them conned blue to me. I talked to people at 56, 55, and 54 that had them con white to them, not sure about 53, but I doubt it. From what I can figure, every MOB on second floor is level 54-56, but no higher, and certainly not level 59.
I can confirm too that they drop Righteous stuff, got one Helm of the Righteous and one Hate's Edge11/21 5 Str 5 Int 30 Mana off them during 3 days on PoH.
Ok now I can confirm that the Knight does drop the BP. I was lucky enough to loot the Righteous Breastplate (only paladin) also got lucky and got the Darkmetal Falcion 2 nights ago. The best EQ day I have ever had thanks to my guild.
Just came from Hate last night and it did indeed drop. Our Sk got it and it looked quite awesome and does a staggering amount of damage. I believe we took down (through the course of the night) about 5 or 6 Knights. Unfortunately no Righteous dropped.
