Re: Quest Sunken Treasure

It has been a really long time, but I am almost sure there were more of them spawning. On turtle there are only 4 spawn points, so collecting them requires at least 3 rounds of collection. On Classic, there are 16+ points known, and there are 2005 comments from Thottbot suggesting many spawn points,...

Yes, it is part of the boss mechanics. Loatheb removes all curses every 30 seconds so you have to re-apply them accordingly.

Re: This kind mod counts as a hack?

Good day.
The area mods created by MTL Media are all for Wotlk 3.3.5 as Balake mentioned before, so you should not try to install them in your Turtle folder. But, again as Balake suggested, you can just host your own server where you are free to explore these areas.

No, that is not very-very unlikely. The chance to not get a given 10% dropchance item from 20 runs is over 12%.

[...] HK's on this server act in a weird way, after a AV where you had say 500+ kills on the Scorelist screen they stop counting after like 200 on your character sheet.
If I remember correctly, that was how it worked in vanilla - You can only get 10 HKs out of a given enemy in a day.

Re: Probability of occurrence about Pendant of the Faceless

That is not how statistics work. All kills you do are independent, so having the item not dropped will not increase your chance on the kill to get it. If the individual chance of the item dropping on a kill is 1.2%, then after 100 kills you have about 70% chance that the item dropped at least once. ...
