I think there is a slightly higher chance for skills to drop in higher difficulties or i had pure RNG, Dark samurai (dream of the samurai) 22 times no drop with 44% item drop rate, 109 luck (all 3 smithing plans dropped) +6.8 item drop vs humans. Dark Samurai (dream of the strong) 2nd attempt the art of war dropped with the same stats.

Please add the Shiftling Skills again! You just removed them.
I wanted to see at Youtube what these do.
But I do not remember the name anymore, since you deleted the so fast.ReplyReplies (1)

Hi, anon who updated the page multiple times in the last hour here. Apologies for all the revisions, it's my first time adding something, and thus I struggled a bit with it. Have learnt my lesson, will let the people who know what they're doing handle it in future.

it seems these skills are in the same item pool as the smithing text, so using the hunter blessing should boost the drop rate the same it does for the texts
