what's your droprate on hilt?

[Selz]

At the same time they removed the ability for the Skeletons to drop epics, which is imo~ probably an overall nerf if you're JUST farming for hilts. For people who casually do the instances it's a boost.

Indeed..

They actually incresed the drop change of it but it can only drop from the elites, so kinda requires a full team to farm it now

[The Rupt Brothers]

I've been farming the hilt for a week now and pre 16th "fixes" the hilt would drop around 1 per day (10-15 trash clears a day).
After the changes I haven't seen a single hilt drop, obviously the skelly nerf caused a lot less mobs that has a chance to drop the item but also read up on a different change,



"Q u o t e:
has anyone put thought into what the hot fix did:

-stopped skeletal slaves from dropping the hilt (around 50 slaves per instance right?)

-increased drop rate among other mobs

so in turn blizzard didnt do anything to the hilt drop rate, they nerfed it by not allowing skeletals to drop it, then buffed it by "increasing" the drop rate....

they did absolutely nothing....

The increase in drop rate is more significant than the removal of this item's chance to drop from Skeletal Slaves, particularly for those clearing all three wings as intended."

and .....


"Q u o t e:
So that is what i was trying to figure out, their play on words on top of me being tired is ftl but can you better elaborate about this? From what i gather is that the drop rate is like a SoV, the more you do the instance as intended the drop rate stacks and increases right?

No, the drop rate is flat. You have a fixed chance of getting the item every time you run one of the dungeons. What we did in these recent fixes is substantially increase that chance and remove this item's ability to drop from the creatures most frequently and easily being farmed for it."
