Black Armor

Can anyone confirm the Black Armor is dropped from the lvl 33 Emerald knife bandits/ shadow Spears bandit?

Spent some time yesterday grinding for it but had no luck, just wanting some reassurance.
I might just be extremely unlucky.

 

The wiki says it is a mob drop, https://wynncraft.gamepedia.com/Black_Armour. Previously, it could be bought at the black market merchant (idk if it still can or not).

How to obtain this item?

• 
  Special Drop:
  
  This item can be dropped only by specific mobs or in a specific area.
• Description: Uncommon drop from Emerald Knives Bandits in the desert X: 1325 Z: -1735 or from Shadow Spears Bandits at the Invaded Barracks X: 1400 Z: -2275

 

as it happens, i did get 3 pieces of the set just today from shadow spear bandits, and theyre also confirmed by wynndata to be dropped by the two bandit types.

 

Yeah I was able to obtain 3 pieces as well on day two. However, the armor did not appear black when equipped sadly.. maybe a bug?
