  • In the Hedrow Noble quest, one droven spear each is generated on the home level, locate level and each of the lower filler levels at level creation.
  • In the Hedrow shared quest, one droven spear is generated on the upper filler level at level creation.
  • In the Anachrononaut quest and Android quest, a droven spear is randomly generated on each of the lower filler levels at level creation.
