Increase drop rates on Darkmoor gear.

KI please... Please raise the drop rates on Malistare's gear. I have been farming for two months now on my ice for the Malistare gear. So far I have only gotten the boots. I still need the wand, robe, and hat. The drop rates are abysmally low and it's extremely frustrating. If you're going to make us farm this much, then make it to where we can just fight Malistare and not do the other bosses. How are we suppose to progress in terms of power and strength when we can't even get the tools we need to do so? I speak for myself here, but I don't want to spend two months straight farming for a set of gear. I'm not asking for it to be handed to me, because I do like challenges. But I'm asking for these items to be obtained easier. Also for future reference, I have been farming Rattlebones and I haven't gotten any robe from him either.

The problem is that there are so many more things for Malistair to drop that his top level gear drops much less often than the drop rate for it actually is. And once they added in gems, the drop rate got much worse. I farmed him for several months straight, every single night, and never got boots.

Honestly, I think the best fix for this is to remove the lower tier loot from his drop table. Keep tiers 1 and 2, but remove tier 3. Fortunately, I've been lucky enough to get everything but my robe in 3 runs, but it's still annoying to get the lowest tier gear from Malistaire.

With the new chest added, I would highly recommend using it to get all your Malistaire gear. I was fortunate enough to receive all of my gear from that chest. Either buy crowns and use it or keep farming if you want.

I wish the junk gear could be removed.
