*DISCLAIMER*
I am comparing personal experience to ZAM comments from 2002 which may or may not entirely apply to the late 2003 1.65 patch level that Uthgard targets. As I am unsure as to if the drop rates had changed between 2002 and 2003 this issue requires some additional research.
According to the following quote:
"Jul 31 2002 at 2:41 PM Rating: (Anonymous)
good exp, drop seals, and drop an average of 20 silver. theyre GREAT. i started out at level 27 (barely any exp) with gold in low 50's and no seals. i left half a bub away from 28, with 71 gold, and 33 emerald seals."
Emerald seal drop rate, and coinage should be a good deal higher than the current rate. From personal observation from the acquisition of approximately 5 levels (~50% friends ~25% lilispawns/deamhanes ~25 other mobs in area ... apprentices necros and the like) I only managed 20-25g and 17 Daemon Emerald Seals.
Others I have asked have for the most part gotten slightly higher to 2x the drop rate I have gotten... which is in the nature of RNG. However even the maximums I have heard from people I have asked have been a good deal lower than the comments at http://camelot.allakhazam.com/db/search.html?cmob=2823 seem to indicate. Even accounting for a bit of exaggeration there seems to be a noticeable difference. Thought personal observation I have also noticed that Plated Fiends (and many of the lower DF mobs) seem too have inferior drop rate to many similar leveled mobs in other locals. Vendo and Goblins for example seem to be MUCH more efficient for farming during this level range.
1. Observe the drop rate of Plated fiends and similar DF mobs.
2. Compared to comments at http://camelot.allakhazam.com/db/search.html?cmob=2823
3. Ask player base leveling in DF concerning their seal drops count and coinage gained to account for RNG.
Increase the coinage drop rate by 1.5x on Plated fiends and similar DF mobs.
Increase the seal drop rate by 1.5-2x on Plated fiends and similar DF mobs.

I could post a shot of my inventory and the amount of coinage and seals but their would be no way to prove those numbers haven't been altered. The best proof I can offer would be to ask players in game about the drop rates they are personally getting.
When we again have control of DF on Mid I can provide more testing data.
