Loping Plains is an enormous zone with a lot of luck involved in farming items. Vampire Bats drop armor, and can start cycles of bosses.
You can spawn Vampire Bats two different ways, from traps or randomly upon the death of NPCs. Traps are in random locations in the zone, and usually just spawn groups of NPCs, but occasionally will also spawn a bat.
Vampire Bats always drop a single armor piece, and will usually start a cycle of bosses, which includes one boss that always drops an Essence of Loping Plains.
Killing 40 of a specific set of NPCs (see "Stone Droppers" chart below) will spawn a new NPC which will drop a specified numbered stone. The stones can also (rarely) drop randomly from any NPC. Give all 12 of these stones to the Archaeologist to spawn the Floating Skull.
The Floating Skull can only be attacked with a bane weapon (which drop from one of the Loping Plains bosses) or an Ultimate Weapon 8 or greater. The Floating Skull drops the completed Epic book 7.0
Stone Droppers
Kill the following types of NPCs to spawn a new NPC (the "stonedropper"), which will drop the numbered stone. There should be exactly 40 NPCs required to kill in each group to spawn the stonedropper.
| Stone | NPC Type | NPC Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Crocodile | Hopper |
| 2 | Minotaur | - |
| 3 | Treant | - |
| 4 | Mistwynd | Lost Souls |
| 5 | Vampire | Revenant |
| 6 | Drangol | - |
| 7 | Nightmare | Imp |
| 8 | Nightwalker | - |
| 9 | Shadowmane | - |
| 10 | Grizzly | Worg |
| 11 | Bloodmoon | - |
| 12 | Zombie | Skeleton |
Boss Cycle
Killing a Vampire Bat will (hopefully) start a boss chain that will (hopefully) keep spawning through the entire chain (but not always).
| Boss | Loot |
|---|---|
| Vampire Bat | Armor |
| Envy | Accessories |
| Pride | Weapons |
| Gluttony | HP Augments |
| Sloth | Bane Weapons |
| Lust | Spell |
| Wrath | Essence of LP |
| Greed | 150k HP Mount |

Tips
- Treants and Pride both cast the Druid spell "Skin of the Drake" on themselves, so you will NEED to take off attack for 18 seconds when you see their health rising, or you will never kill them.
- Loping Plains essences craft strike 9's, which are much more costly, since they require three 8's to create. So start saving your essences and platinum :)
- Strike 9's also switch from type 4, 8 to type 22, so make sure you have weapons to put them in before you craft them.
- To easily keep track of stonedroppers or bosses, you may want to use either "/maphide npc" -or- "/highlight npc" so that any new spawns will be easily visible. Stonedroppers have the same names as existing NPC's, so it is crucial to be able to identify them.
