Okay, went offline and save scummed it. Nearly 400 kills now and still nothing but dragonscale with a low enough frequency for me to think its base drop rate is around 3%. I calculated it out and the chance of me even missing just the sword this many times if the drop chance were actually 1% is approximately one iteration out of fifty thousand even with no farming gear.

The chance of me getting neither sword nor shield this many times in a row is so low that it isn't much of an exaggeration to call it astronomically unlikely, and that's even without ANY gear for farming.

Symbol of Avarice + Covetous Gold +2 + Watchdragon Parma + Prisoner's Tatters means somewhat more than triple base item discovery chance. I'd have likely won the powerball more than once by now if I had the inverse of the bad luck I'd need for this outcome and bought a few lottery tickets.

On another wiki someone else farmed him 350 times with the same results, no drops except some scales.

Either there's a very well hidden precondition to him having even a chance to drop his gear, or this guy don't drop jack other than the occasional scale in PC SoTFS, end of story.
