I have been trying to farm for nautilus shells in order to create a conduit. . . From what I understand, drowned are always supposed to drop whatever item is in the offhand slot; however, I killed give or take 5 drowned (all with nautilus shells) with a looting three sword, and a trident (mainly to see if the results would be different). Either way, only rotten flesh dropped after the drowned were killed.

I dont believe its every time, i get drops occasionally from them and sometimes drowned with nothing in hand drop stuff.
