After hitting Guild Rank 15 I started working on the item binding, this has turned out to be more difficult with some items, as many rare item drops needed to bind weapons and armor can be as rare as half a percent, more are at a 1% drop rate making it frustrating at times for some because you have to run the quest so many times just to get one item.

One of these rare items are the Aged Dragon Skull, making this one more difficult is the fact that the Ancient Dragon can only be found in one quest and that is King of Dragons.

I found a slightly easier way to pick up the Aged Dragon Skull after searching online and seeing some people making comments that this item drop can be got on King of Dragons 1, this seemed unlikely because of the low Guild Rank required to run this quest, it was thought by most that Aged Dragon Skull could only be acquired from King of Dragons 2 or 3.

Anyway I decided to run KOD 1 and put this to the test, I can solo this quest but it takes about 30 minutes or so because you have to kill four other dragons before getting the Ancient Dragon, it’s a good quest to run on solo as you get a ton of items all of which can be used, and even if you don’t use them you can sell them for a fair amount.

Well my first two runs didn’t produce a skull but it did give me pretty much everything else in the Aged Dragon stuff, wing, tail, claw etc..My third run saw me getting hold of an Aged Dragon Heart, another rare drop. On my fourth run I did actually get the Aged Dragon Skull.

Statistically this is the best way to acquire the Aged Dragon Skull simply because if there is no players running KOD 2 or 3 you can still get it from KOD 1, another plus is that when I do this quest solo I seem to get a ton more items in the reward screen. I have picked up another 3 Aged Dragon Skulls from KOD 1 since so this has now definitely been confirmed for those who wasn’t sure.

One other point is that I don’t believe it is possible to get an Aged Dragon Skull in the reward screen, it’s only possible to get it as a drop by breaking the tail of the dragon.

I have found the most effective way to ensure a drop from the tail is when the battle first starts I use demon aura or you can use Inspire to give your attack a boost then head straight for the tail and hit it with a 15 AC combo, this (for me) has guaranteed a drop every time.

By doing it this way, even if the Ancient dragon manages to defeat you it hasn’t been a waste of a long quest, you at least managed to get the tail drop which is what you want the most.

Will post more on other hard to get items as and when I find them.
