I'm farming captain blood right now, but it takes forever just to finish finding the cards. Could they have captain blood as a enemy somewhere else that drops his boss gear? Maybe as a side quest like they did with Moo Manchu?
the tower of moo manchu and the tomb of kow cheng dungeons dont drop the same loot. true, we fight the same enemy, but the only thing shared on the loot roll is gold (i think). although. . . . That would be an awesome antagonist for the next gauntlet.
Since Captain Blood was only walking around because Death couldn't claim his soul until the card game was finished; I very much doubt that we'll be seeing him again. After all we finished the card game, killed the undead captain, & Death took his soul, He's not coming back. Miranda was shortened from before, several battles were taken out and the mobs that used to roam the streets of Miranda are gone. Yes, it's boring to farm that's why it's called a 'grind'.
