Totem of the Void

[CokeZero]

Wow...just wow...

I've gone from friendly to exalted trying to farm this for all 5 shamans...and has not appeared ONCE in the damn cache of the legion! INSANE!!!!!! Does this thing still even exist in the loot table zomg?!?!

[homerjunior]

It does I would contact blizzard unless your exagerating

Dropped 2 times the last 2 heroics i did with my main in the past 3 days so i'd say u are just unlucky...

[Manaburner]

Oh man.. I feel for you. I got all 5 of mine in 9 runs. No joke. The first 3 times I ran it - it dropped 3 times in a row. It's really just luck.

[homerjunior]

Yea blizzard drop rate is annoying some people do not comprend but it works like this

15% chance to dropx5=15% per time not 100%...Even though I think it should record who enters/loots and work on an addition system

[Quix]

I feel your pain,,, Im not quite as dedicated as you,, but 23 TOV runs later, & 0 drops.

[Fuzzyboy]

Took me 32 runs to get all five (on normal), but it does drop. Are you sure you're looting the cache and not some boss? :P

[Fuzzyboy]

Btw, assuming drop chance if 15%, the chance of not getting one in 25 runs is like 1.7%

Fuzzy scroll up abit(Not sure its 15%) Thats not the way it works

Since 5 items drop from the cache and there's always 1 item in there I guess it's 20% (I suppose it's reasonable to assume that all items have the same chance of dropping judging by wowhead data). Assuming there's a 20% dropchance, the chance of not getting one in 25 runs is in the 0.75 pct area - or in other words very rare but also (unfortunately) possible.

I'm not sure what you mean by "that's not the way it works" - there's been a lot of conspiracy theories of drop chance being based on class composition in the group, level of equipped items etc etc, but there is really no evidence of this. Basically theres a set chance of the item dropping each instance - it does not depend on class/gear/faction/race/etc, just on chance. The chance of not getting the totem in any given run is 80% (or 85%) and the chance of not getting the totem in 25 runs in a row is very very slim, but it's a possibility (a 0.75 pct one, but never the less a possibility).
