    Ive won one shores necklace.. after running about a 100 or so, frankly its not worth the time, 1 gem in that time as well, and nothing else but a few r5s,

    this is wthe worst mod, with the worst loot, with the worst grind and the worst development and they should be ashamed, if nothing else by not fixing it or responding to us.

    not sure what else we need to prove at this point.

    idk, are we spoiled? haha

    how many runs do they expect us to do before we get something worthwhile, a book or something

    is it like this cause of gold farmers / bots?

    the drop rates have to be extremely low

    That's what you would see in most MMOs forum threads with several congratz reply, but not here, the only one of those you'll see is the lightfoot thief thread being bump now and then. Rare Never Give.

    You're not alone, all I got so far is r5s and gold...

    I'm not even looking for a belt (even if that would be awesome), all I want is my draconic helm, my icon and why not a couple of gems to try my luck at the RNG box. Somehow the designers imagined that farming the same dull, short, so easy it's mind-numbing, piece of content over and over would be fun. Well it's not, it's just frustrating.

    And the best feeling is that it's a complete waste of time since there's nothing but gold and worthless enchantments in the chest. You don't get anything which may be somewhat valuable. The new lair is also dull and frankly boring but at least we always get a junk purple loot and quite often a glyph. In shores, nothing at all.

    After 100's of runs I also have just gotten a bunch of r5's and scrolls from the chest BUT I have seen one belt drop from the boss. So Boss > chest.

    Run 8 epic SoT last night.I had the mystic key so i would open and inspect the mystic chest.8x2=16 chests.

    result:rank5s scrolls rank 5s scrolls....forever.

    i am done with ToD and elol and lol and troloolol. ;P

    Back to kessels and IWD.Kessels drops the belt (40k ad) sometimes.And in one run the rank4 and 5 enchantements you would get in 5-6 SoTs.Plus BI which is valuable to maintain your BI Set.

    IWD is largely unappreciated.The closest of NW has to offer in open world.Random HEs.Open world pvp.The best module for me.

    Bye bye ToD!! :)

    I agree - I've had much better luck with shores (normal and epic) than I've had with LoL (both). I would like to get the 3 piece shores jewelry set but I don't mind grinding shores. eLoL - no grinding for me. I'll run with guildmates and friends but I won't run it just for the rewards. Between my RNG curse and the current bug, I'll be in IWD if you need me.
    I aim to misbehave

    The drop rates of goodies are supposed to be low or else they won't worth much.

    I don't think you get better chance for rare drop in Epic SoT. The only noticeable differences to me between normal and epic SOT are the helms and the draconic enchantment. In fact, I got a couple of dragon gems in the regular version but none in the epic one in 20-30 runs each. I also saw 3 rings dropped from trash mobs in the regular version versus only 1 dropped from the epic one.

    It looks like it is more time effective to do the non-epic SoT unless the helm is what you are trying for.

    The books for the boons should not be this F#$%ing rare. I have yet to see one drop in the mind numbing amounts of times I have run these things.

    The skirmish and dungeon need to drop sigils and secrets so we can buy the books and not have to grind 40 days of all dragons.... i won't do it ... boons should not be locked behind rng gated HAMSTER!

    Pissed? Ya I am.. just a little!

    My main has done tens if not hundreds of runs on both epic and normal Shores of Tavern, but nothing except few bound epic items (aka raw AD) has come from them.

    My secondary character has run it few times and first run got me gem from the normal chest.
    Give us 4 or more power/item bar profiles so we can change powers and items with one click that are suited for the situation.

    I killed final boss on my HR alone. Was only one alive with~ 50% health on boss.
    Did it twice.
    both time got bind on equip helmet for HR. Helmet BoP for my HR in chest and greater glyph. No belt of something.
    Had seen some gwf shield dropping.

    yesterday got dragon gem falling for me in normal SoT. was not even pain-giver.
    80% of time when Im pain-giver I get rank 4 only. Fail to see logic really.

    The boon unlock items sell for more than 2 million AD each. That should give you an idea how rare they are. Even if you get one in 100 runs it's a profit of 20k AD per run just from the boon unlock drop. That's too good to be true. Some time you look at the market prices of some items and tell they are a lot more rare to get in just 100 runs, more like 1000 runs instead.
