Many beastmen NMs have a "common drop" and a "rare drop" with ratios such as 90%/10%, 95%/5%, or 92.5%/7.5%. Examples include Poisonhand Gnadad (Jujitsu Sitabaki/Jujitsu Gi) and Mee Deggi the Punisher (Impact Knuckles/Ochimusha Kote). This is likely one of those cases where the gauntlets are the common drop and Braveheart is the rare drop. In these cases, Treasure Hunter does /not/ make a difference!
Amazing Sword, especially after the new update. Drop rate sucks though, went out there with a frinds TH3 and not a single drop for 7 hours straight, claimed everytime. Not a highly camped NM nor is it a Hard one, Hmm...Kinda reminds me of Ashmaker Gotblot...before the RMT ban though.
I used to camp this Nm and sell the sword on the AH when I was new. I seem to remember it having a pretty good drop rate. The reason I stopped was b/c 20k just was too cheap for the work and it never sold very fast at all
