    Coffin Lid and wind up Echidna too rare?

    I have ran void ark about 20 ish times since release and I have not seen either of these drop at all.

    Also, I have not seen a single coffin lid or the furniture it makes on the MB over the past two weeks. There is also no sales history for either item, so neither item has been sold at all.

    Where are these items? They seem too rare to have to roll against 24 other people for them.

    Don't worry, you'll be running it about seven hundred more times before it becomes irrelevant.

    Pets and coffins for everyone!

    The drop rate is probably the same as the original drop rates for the Throne Gem/Onion Knight and Syrcus Shard/Puff of Darkness in 2.x.

    It's not, MB is pretty telling of that.

    I have heard that it works like CT/ST/WOD 2nd chest. It appears on the last boss. I have not seen it happen myself yet, so I can say it with 100% that it's the same exact 2-coffer system.

    Of course, you can also say that the drop rates are the same, and that it's just a case of far fewer players running the content more than once a week than previous 24-man content (Dino Island sez HAI).

    Nah, I remember seeing multiple ST/CT/VoD mats on the MB the first week that they were available. There has only been a single coffin made on my server so far (that I am aware of). There has been 0 posts for either the furniture or mat over two weeks now. It's rarer. Even if your argument is right and it's the same drop % with less people running it, the % chance is too low for the number of players running it. Either way, it's rarer intentionally or unintentionally.

    It needs adjusting.

    So, we should make it so that if literally 1 group runs it in a week it should be 100% drop? The logic here, I don't even...

    First time I ever ran Void Ark was this afternoon, and I won the wind-up Echidna with a 97!

    Out of all of those, I've only ever come across the Puff myself.
    It's exceedingly rare to see, as were these items back in the day.
