zombie pineal gland
zombie pineal gland

  • When the drop locations became inaccessible, the item became unobtainable outside the Mall. About a year later, Riff stated that a new supply might be implemented, but the Mall supply would need to drop significantly before that would happen. [1] This eventually happened nearly a decade later, on August 5, 2015, as part of the Tuesday update. Monsters that dropped zombie pineal glands became available to draw from the Deck of Every Card, causing new glands to enter the mall for the first time since the event itself.
