@fusional

don't do av for now, make sure your main members in ls get 9seals and doublemelds weapon first.
later, you will be doing av forever with abysmal drop rate like us.
almost 100 runs, 800individual chests combined. and yes, 1 miser's mythril.

Hi Luxanna,

Ouch! Thanks for the update.

This would be a bad thing? Wyrm blood is good for your pores and lady regions.

What is you LS's current count on your AV runs with the ore chest? Has anyone gotten 3 ore's yet?

We're around 100 runs finished now with 800 combined individual chests and I was the only person to get a Mythril. Everyone else has played 6 days for many hours each day and received nothing. We've tried doing things to improve drop rate but nothing seems to work.

As it stands for our group:

Me 1/100 = 1%
Everyone else 0/100 = 0%
Entire PT 1/800 = 0.125% drop rate

Thanks for the information. I wonder if it was ninja patched at some point and SE just removed it so you really can't progress further. It would be interesting to know if anyone on any server has progressed beyond this point.

I wouldn't mind it taking ages to get a relic weapon if there was at least some way to see that I was really making progress on it. I hate repeating content over and over and getting nothing in return. I'm not even gonna bother with relics if they don't change it.

Honestly our group came to the conclusion that SE might have made this drop rate considerably low on purpose to stall players from advancing into the quest at such a rapid rate.

farm savage might, you say

Great info, can't click like enough

[Madruk]

Can we get a dev response if this abysmal drop rate for AV/CC is intended or not? Even a browser MMO could get a faster response than this.

I've speculated this as well.

The developers purposely made the drop rate so impossibly small without being non-existent to keep players from finishing the relic weapon content this early. I mean look around, there seems to be quite a bit of people already on the AV/CC chest step; it's like the developer's last defense @ keeping people from finishing it before "they are ready for people to." I mean it's not very tactful on their part, but down the road (not sure how far) I can see them making an update or something saying "increased drop rate on Miser's Mythril, etc." when they feel like they've added other content to keep people busy as a way of "realistically allowing" players to finish the current relic weapon tasks.


It wouldn't suprise me anyway. This whole relic quest just seems more like some sort of placebo task meant to buy the developers time to make more content without the players totally finishing everything from the last patch.
