What zone can I find this in and what type of loot does it have?
Also, is this faster than Selo's with or without drum?
Nice formulas. I hope no one has actually figured out the coefficient of
drag of an acutal swallow. I'd hate to see the bird hooked up in an air
tunnel. Well, I guess they'd use a stuffed swallow so it wasn't beating it's
wings and with some sturdy wire . . . What am I talking about!? I'm getting
back to work. :-)
