How many tries did it take you to get Strategos Ring?

[Vrahjin]

Got it on my first, and so far only, run in AK when I had to do it for the relic quest. Also got a pair of pants. I just figured the game thought I'd earned it, considering my horrible luck when it comes to all other things RNG related.

Took my quite a while to see the ring drop. At least more than 30 runs or so, but when you finally see it drop, feels so good.

[Terius]

42nd run! lol.

At least I had full DL before I was done eh?

I used it for about 3 weeks before I grabbed an Allagan Ring from Coil anyway. The Myth Jewelery is on my list however, after I get a few main pieces first.

Don't rush for the Myth stuff over your relic weapon, you might not kill Twintania anytime soon for the book lol.

ok, first off. if you are a scholar, skip the +1 relic and get the ring/ all accessories instead. the actuall endgame weapon you are looking for is the allagan weapon. crit is way better for scholar than spell speed. otherwise strat ring drops as often as you would thing. there are 5 sets of accessories in ak. therefore 25 items to get. each run has a chance to drop that one, so its a 4% chance that it will drop. good thing you have to grind it 10000 times ^_^

With +1 being the single biggest upgrade, don't you think it's needed for downing turn 5? I hear most of coil is rather healing intensive.

First of all : get Vanya HQ and reach the crit rating / determination cap on each item (except for the boots, get spuce pattens or smthn like that). You don't have to take legs tho since DL ones got crit on it.

Then, you have to bother with HQ crafted accessories since they are just better than lvl 90 ones (the myth ones that is) : you can have vit AND crit on them.

And to finish with : I wouldnt bother with the relic before gettin 500 crit minimum / 300 det.

When you do reach that, then you can go for the +1

Actually with full crafted you can get 532 crit and 300 ish det, by removin your crafted weapon and equippin relic instead you ll be at 500ish so it ll be all good stats wise. Of course, lvl 90 myth items give more crit than forbidden melded Vanya but hey.

It has never dropped once when I've been on SMN/SCH - probably 75+ runs. It has dropped 3 times in about 20 runs that I've done on the PLD (different character).

[BooskiBoo]

I got it within the first few runs. Never seen it since. It's been about 40 instances since.

[DoctorPepper]

Probably took over 50+ AK runs to get mine and I still have yet to see a dema ring for my smn :P

[horaiyo]

I'd say somewhere between 50-60 runs or so. Semi-related, I've only seen one strategos neck in that time, it was while I was on my smn, my fc mate wasn't paying attention to chat and rolled greed on it when the other people passed, and I lost the roll. I have yet to see another one drop and it bugs me crap out of me every time I look at my sch setup.

[Alindra]

I've seen the smn one drop twice, but have not had the sch one drop yet. done probably 30+ runs by now. Already bought one DL ring, I suppose with my luck it will drop the first run after I buy the next ring.
