That's rediculous. 15% OVER the MM Battle Drum and dropped in Kedge Keep?
Hell that's god loot stats, not a drum dropped by some fish in Kedge.

The Ykesha IMO is not worth 10kpp of stuff, especially since the WAR-only
Ykesha rumor has been publically denied by Verant. Can you imagine groups
of six warriors camping the Ghoul Lord. That I'd like to see - I'll bring
bandages. That room is a handful to hold with a balanced group of 45-50s
including a Cleric.
