New rare/ex drops
In a few recent posts on new items, you made the claim: "The March update did not replace the (old item) completely, instead there is now a chance that you will receive the rare/ex version of it, the (new item)." This information is untrue, however SE didn't explain it well in their update posting. The original NM's that dropped the old versions will no longer drop the rare or regular versions at all, they only drop the rare/ex versions now. The old items have been or will soon be moved to BCNM drops, similarly to how Leaping Boots>Bounding Boots and Emperor Hairpin>Empress Hairpin was changed. SE's explanation of "The monsters that dropped these items now have a chance of dropping an EX/Rare item with the exact same attributes." really means that the old item was completely replaced by the new item as a drop from that respective NM, and have a chance means just as it used to, referring that the rare/ex item is not a 100% drop but a chance of that drop. SE has not officially released statements about which BCNMs the original items will be moved to, but as players find out from BCNMs they do, they will update it on the respective pages. Hope this clears that up for you, as I had to those claims from the pages. --Wayka 08:24, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
