Description of Bug Experienced:
(please include information of what you did, that lead up to the bug, what you expected to happen there, and what actually happened, then move on to describe below:)

Steps to reproduce the Bug: Open up enough crates and barrels

Expected Result: You don't find assayers lenses multiple times

Actual Result: I've found like 3-4 assayers lenses in crates and barrels across multiple servers

Screenshot(s)

Additional Information/Notes Cities and Planes Cordor, Guldorand server proper, and surface server. All had assayers lenses in 'trash' barrels/crates

This is less like a bug and more like feedback. The loot matrices are intentionally designed.

How much Search do you have on your character? If it's high, that might be a benefit from having good Search.

Someone bought a stack of 50 Assayer's Lenses from my shop right before this was reported.

As I've never seen an Assayer's Lens in a junk barrel before, I find the coincidence very suspicious.

The assayer's lens is not in the loot matrix. I spent several hours debugging and could not find a trace of it. I suspect it was just players leaving them for people to find.

In this application of the loot matrix, does that apply to random found loot, drop loot, theft loot or are there certain criteria that apply when you say ,"I can't find a trace of it"

This applied to all of the above.

We have racial drops, specific type drops, PP drops and I could not find it any of it.

I've played several prolific sneak/theives. Assayer's lenses are something I've seen dropped from pickpocketing a number of times.

Also, this was picked up in Andunor, off of one of the Rebellious Human Slaves in the Sewers.

Thanks for checking into this. But yeah it was weird because I found them in barrels all across multiple servers. I haven't seen them recently though? It might have been a case of somebody leaving them there and just happening to create some kind of scavenger hunt? If I see them again though I'll let update. Apologies, I thought this might have been some sort of bug or accidental addition!

I will re-review.
