Gold drops

hi, i heard from alot of players you only get gold weapons from chests... but yesterday.. when i tried to cross issnur issles... i killed a ridgeback skale lv 14 wich dropped an Avian Axe (gold)... is this a glitch? or is it a fact that ANY monster can drop golds..

TIA

~~Evi

Any monster or keyed chest can drop a gold item. Whomever said monsters don't drop golds was horribly mistaken.

thats what i thought... but.. question linked to my last..

the higher the lv of the monster the higher the chance of getting one?

No. Higher level monsters typically drop higher level items though. You rarely will get a max damage weapon dropped on Istan Island.

okay, thank you Hockster for your answers
i think i have to be lucky with my gold avian axe drop :P
