Andy not dropping a gem?

Hi,

I always thought that Andariel would drop a flawed gem, but while I was rushing a mule (normal diff, it matters) I noticed that she didn't. I can only hope that it was a quest drop (after Andariel is dead, I talk to Warriv, go east, open the quest log to get the "quest finished" animation, and exit the game --- in the hope that this perms the quest drop bug).

So the question is --- has the "flawed gem" drop been removed? Or is the gem connected to quest/non-quest drops only, thus proving that I did have/didn't have the quest drop bug? Or is the gem really a random drop?

I never noticed agem dropping while do runs

I get the occansional drop but i when i do runs i don't have the quest drop bug on.

Imo it is random

Her true quest drop is two Chippies and a gem of normal quality. It's still possible that these end up on an unpassable patch of ground, and disappear.

Hm... it could well be that Andariel is simply the first monster able to drop a flawed gem... so maybe things got mixed up in my memory

I definitely do remember something with Andariel and flawed gems

She is consistent at least --- instead of just carelessly picking up whatever gem I find, I actually checked her drop for a gem on the next mule rush: nothing, again.

EDIT: seems my memory about the flawed gem is wrong nonetheless...

EDIT: "true" quest drop? Is that like a quest drop, except that it only happens when the person getting the quest is getting the kill?

Yep. Hardcoded to only happen on the first kill with that character in a difficulty level. It's been there since 1.0, and what we now call quest drop is a feature of 1.10.
