Is it still in game?
Prior to Cataclysm, the drop rate of
Chan's Imperial Robes was roughly 10% from the rare monster Mith'rethis the Enchanter. These days the drop rate has been reduced to the point that it seems it's no longer on the drop table. This can be explained by the level difference of the mob.His level was 52 pre-Cataclysm, now it's 33. The robes itself is a ilvl 52 item. Does that mean the item is no longer dropping by him? No.

| Chan's Imperial Robes This version of the robe is yellow. There are 2 other colors available: Lime and Green. |
Multiple GMs have confirmed that it's still dropping in Cataclysm.
Undermine Journal also shows that people have been selling these robes.
Because these robes are so rare, I have only one suggestion: If you obtain one, add a few zeros to the buyout price that you were thinking!
Also, check your old alts and their banks. Many have found old items in their bank that are priceless today.
Where to farm it?

A good idea for rare farming is to park an alt next to his spawn point and from time to time, log onto that alt. As he's only level 33, even a lowbie alt is capable of breaking him. Even if you can't find the Chan's Imperial Robes, you still receive a nice chunk of exp and a guaranteed greenie.
Personally I haven't seen him drop the robes. If I were you, I'd farm the Lime version of this item instead. Sure, it's not nearly as valuable, but you may even see it drop!
Have you obtained Chan's Imperial Robes?

So you're telling us to farm an item you've never even seen drop? And even worse, you're telling us to farm an item that probably never will drop? Sorry, but this sounds like a pretty useless post IMO.
According to gamemasters, it's still dropping. And 2 recorded kills prove it. But seeing as the drop rate is so low, it's up to you to choose if it's worth it or not.
I made this post because many were asking if it's even in the game still.
GM's often are wrong especially with kind of information. It's quite possible they had access to old information.
The exact same story is the item "Chromatic Sword" from Scale Belly a rare elite in stv.
Using a couple of online AH sites you can quicklly tell that this item doesn't drop. The supply of the item is even rarer than alot of the discontinued stuff.
That's a possibility. The drop rate going from 10% to 0.02% doesn't bode well.
item removed in Cata
Farming 0% drops ftw? :P
This is honestly the most useless post I have ever seen posted on the front page of the TUJ. gg
Sorry, Anonymous.
I'll do my best to make my posts have more quality content in the future.
Listing one on Madoran for 100k. Not sure if it will sell but I put one in the AH a couple months ago for less and it went quick. Ooops.
I paid 50k for my set when Cata hit, I was told by many people (and GM's) that this was NLA in game.
