Given the absurd rarity of these drops now that they've been added back to Shadow Destroyer's loot table, I think it would be reasonable to put them in the Nemesis Store as well for maybe 1K a piece. That way, folks who are running NemCon regularly trying to get the dang things to drop might be able to get some kind of payoff down the line, and it would allow folks to get something other than the Nemesis Heirlooms or Action Figures.

    I like the idea, supporting this since I got so much nemesis tokens to spend

    Can anyone testify to having seen them drop, firsthand, themselves? Or seen them in the AH? The droprate seems abysmal, I wonder if Shadow Destroyer just keeps those drops within his portal or something, haven't seen any of them.​​

    I suggested this weeks ago. Unfortunately, Kaizerin/devs already stated that they don't plan on doing so.

    Still not sure why since no one does nemcon anymore.

    That I've not, but the patch notes for 3/2/17 clearly state that they have a chance to drop from Shadow Destroyer at the end of NemCon. However, as you also suggested, the drop rate is ridiculously and (dare I say) unfairly low. Not helping is the fact that, as Chaos stated, NemCon runs are quite rare these days.

    At the very least, they could increase the drop rate, or add them to a token store.

    The gladiator stuff did not drop from Shadow Destroyer. They dropped from the mini bosses before each nemesis as well as random chance from the big guards throughout NemCon.

    Originally, yes. They were re-added in March as super rare drops from Shadow Destroyer's reward cache.

    Patch Notes in question are here.

    Well, they are meant to be rare. If they are added anywhere they are going to be added to the endgame store, not the Nemesis vendor.

    Hm, I can't recall if I ever got any Gladiator stuff to drop on my few NemCon runs. I know I've got some regular Shadow Destroyer stuff before though.

    1k a piece, so 1 week nemesis missions to get a piece.
    yes it is that easy doing 2 missions a day.
    that's how I got over 12 sets on my main acct at 1050 tokens per set.
