Drops in Sewers from the Workman Striker's corpse

unfortunately in varying QLs which aren't visible due to the Special flag... and never got hold of the QL30 one yet..

If you set the loot window to display in list, you'll see the ql. You'll get a ql 30 eventually, just dont leave the subway;)

I've got ql 30 almost everytime...I thought they were all the same O.o

There are more than just two qls, but they all drop about the same. Setting loot notifications does NOT tell you the ql. If you have one in inv and you find a second, keep the one with the higher reqs.

Having now done some research, it seems that the drop ql is within a range of the mob's lvl. The highest ql I've seen is ql 19, dropped from a lvl 20 striker. There are no strikers higher than lvl 20. This seems confirmed by GMS: no SBOI higher than ql 19 are for sale. Eustace and Msauss are guessing. If they got a ql 30, it wasn't from a striker. They may drop in the deep sub. Confirm? Or is this another hypothetical interpolation that doesn't appear in the game? Or do higher qls drop OUTSIDE the sub (dynas?)?

yes there's one workman striker in deep sub. it's right alongside the right wall right before the large room with the Bloodcreeper (not the one with the carb rocks near it) and the few, nanomage mobs. of course this item doesnt drop every time, so you might be camping the striker for awhile :D i think he's lvl 24 or so.

got a ql29 one from him

Is the high QL worth camping for?

Not if you wanna level. I would get this as soon as possible, http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=274955

After the http://wiki.aodb.us/wiki/Modified_Xan_Weapons going paid, I wouldn't be surprised if this made a comeback, but as it stands the https://aoitems.com/item/301717/illegally-modified-ofab-bear/ is better. You can't put a price on a taunt, but you can always cast one, especially for 101 Psychology.
