Air Talismans are listed on the Wiki as being a common drop from goblins.

Keep in mind my character is an Ironman and I can't buy an Air Talisman. I do know there are other ways to get them, but I figured I needed some combat levels anyway so I figured I could get one from a goblin in a relatively short time since it is listed as a common drop, I was wrong.

I was figuring with the Air talisman being listed on the Wiki as a common drop, maybe needing to do 100 goblin kills, not having to kill possibly multiple hundreds if not thousands of goblins to get an Air Talisman as a drop, or to not get one at all after 25 ranged levels, at which point I can no longer consider a drop to be common if I haven't got one in that many levels.

I don't understand how an item can be called a common drop when I can go from level 2 to level 27 ranged killing level 2 and level 4 Goblins in Port Sarim and not get a single Air Talisman as a drop.

Brass necklace is listed as uncommon and I got several of them.
Goblin book is listed as uncommon and I got several of them.

So I would expect if I am getting multiple uncommon items, I should have gotten many more of what is listed as a common drop item. How am I getting more uncommon drops than what is supposed to be a common drop?

Now I realize which goblins you kill makes a difference on what they drop, but seriously, 25 ranged levels and not a single supposedly common Air Talisman drop?

I would call a drop rate that low at least uncommon, if not rare, compared to the other drops I got from the goblins around Port Sarim.

I'm starting to think the goblins in Port Sarim don't drop Air talismans at all, or else they are a rare drop and not a common drop as the Wiki says.

What do you think?

I gave up on the goblins for getting an Air Talisman after going to from level 2 to level 29 Ranged killing level 2 and level 4 goblins in Port Sarim, and killed some Elemental Wizards North of Port Sarim to get one instead.

Apparently I didn't even need an Air Talisman since I have the Wicked hood. Air and Mind are already included on it.

^Just a FYI, all talismans (except blood and death) can be obtained from the alternative abyss via the fairy ring and can be done at pretty much any level.

It's fast and safe , I just killed mostly leeches with mage and got em all in a short space of time.
edit: I mean safeish
