    Provenance Watcher Drop Experiences -.-

    I am not usually one to complain about drop rates in this game, especially when it comes to Voidwatch, where generally speaking, there is little at stake, and the monsters are easy to pop. Not to mention even if you don't get anything worthwhile you still obtain an obscenely large amount of cruor and XP.

    Provenance Watcher was very disheartening though. It took nearly 90 minutes to simply find 18 competent people who had the right job combinations AND access to Provenance. Then it took 2-3 hours to actually fight the 3 Caturae, reset 2-hours for people, change jobs again for Provenance Watcher, and do the fight.

    When we were done, the only thing that appeared as a direct drop was the Tessera Saio. The only thing anyone said they got from the trove aside from crafting materials was the shield.

    Is this typical? Or did we just have bad luck?

    You got drops other than the sword / staff in the pool and troves, so it's above average luck. The 2-3 hours for the fights is pretty slow.

    This is why people pretty much only build shouts looking for people who already have all 3 KI.

    Tessera Saio is one of the more rare drops.

    Doing damage is for WAR's, DRK is about soloing 75 content yo.....
