Ok so I just got done trying to farm seals off Berstuk. Actually we only got to kill him once... We got 1 pop item out of 100+ kills 1!!!!! 120min burned and all we got was 1 pop item. Seriously! And this isn't the first time this has happened there are plenty of NM pop items that have an insanely low drop rate. I imagine they figured there are 15 mobs in close prox. so if we should make the drop rate low. This is TO low. I've had to farm for items for some length of time and I know its part of the process but come on 100+ kills for 1 pop item??? There has to be something wrong with the drop rate. They weren't dropping anything at all actually, it was 100 kills of nothing. Is there a farm limit to mobs that we are not aware of?

sounds like the pulse martello was in poor shape. If it doesn't have the cores to support better treasure yields, drops will be crappy like that. I usually tried to farm pops, feet, and seals when they have 06/07 cores enhancing chest spawn and treasure yield. At least I think it was 06/07...been quite a while since I was farming anything in those zones. But when I did go and the cores were up, I would get the pop items without too much effort, at least enough to solo Berstuk or Kampe at least two or three times in one run (last two NM's I soloed for seals in Scars areas). you can check the details out with the Bastion NPC's by going to check the martello state, then picking the cores will tell you how each one affects things in the zone (will say things like treasure yield or chest spawn rate is slightly or significantly enhanced depending on the # of cores held).
