The Quartermaster Enchantment
How to Obtain it—One of the hardest enchantments to get a hold of due to the fact you can only get them from the Siege of Neverwinter Event.
Recommended for—All levels of Players, but mostly for a player nearing the end of maxing a toon, and are very heavily focused on ranking up thier enchantments over weapons and artifacts, as well as have the reasources to make this enchantment.
How it Works—Just like the Dragon Hoard enchantment this enchantment has an internal cooldown between drops from enemies and an increasing internal cooldown on the rate you'll be able to get a drop after recieving a few, in other words you might only be able to get 10-15 bags and the first few were fairly quick to get while the last 5 were very spread apart in time wise, but slowly that internal cooldown between drops will go away.
Each bag also contains an enchantment up to Rank 7 (The total chance to drop a bag from all Quartermaster's Enchantments you have equipped determines the rank of enchantments found in the bag, 10.5% for R7's.)

Compared
Between the Dragon Hoard and the Quartermaster you are better off using the Dragon Hoard if you are after ranking up your weapons and Artifacts, but better off with the Quartermaster's if your after just ranking up Enchantments fast.
Between the fey Blessing and the Quartermaster, the Fey Blessing is technically better, BUT requires ALOT more farming since they give R5's while the Quartermaster's give R6's which are alot better during 2x's and you can save the bags until a 2x to get 2x the amount you were going to recieve. So the Quartermasters are a step up from fey Blessing since it requires alot less farming for a greater pay out most of the time.
Extra Note
There are a few different bags you may get from the Quartermaster's depending on the enemies you are fighting at that time, it doesn't matter what color the bag is it'll give you enchantments depending on the % only, the only thing the bag will affect is the additional loot you'll recieve, kits, profession supplies, refinement stones, etc. Neither does your level affect the enchantments earned.
3x R12 will grant 10.5%.
*Refrain from using the Mako's ring to reach the % needed, or you'll need 11% instead, if you use all 6 Utility's

I know someone in my guild received a dragon sigil or other Tyranny currency, I am wondering if linu's favor could be one of the currencies and will they double during double campaign currency?

I'm currently at a QM8 and 2 Fey8s and considering whether to get more QMs and get higher ranks of them, go after DMs, or keep this current odd spread I have.
I am curious to know if anyone has done the breakeven math on the 2x Rank 12 and 1x Rank 11 combo? Most of my enchants are still rank 9. Leveling up three QM to rank 11 plus would take a lot of refining resources that could be better spent on my enchants that actually improve my character. How many Rank 6's do you need to get to break even on the cost?
On 2x enchants WE, ask him nicely, if he would borrow them to you. Slap them on your char and open the bags.
I am very popular on 2x enchant WE and, since I run QM enchants, I never had to buy enchants to upgrade my enchants, due to the stacks of R6s/7s I get, when I open the bags on my chars, while 2x enchant WE is up.
My plan is after i can raise them to rank 9 to use the bags to refine the rest of my enchantments to 12, you also get refining stones as well so they arn't solely for upgrading enchantments
If it is, then is there any percentage that only gives rank 7? Something like 21% (6 utility slots because of Makos Ring, all of them slotted with Quartermaster Rank 12) peraphs?
Personally I usually run around with 2 R12 Quartermaster's, 2 R12 Dragon Hoards and one Fey Blessing - then on 2xEnchant days I swap two of the others out for 2 other Quartermaster's and open all the bags I have accumulated since the previous 2x event.

This is simply NOT true. I've written a guide on QMs over on reddit and opened 1000s of bags to test the RNG.
You need 11% to get only R6s. No doubt whatsoever. And using Makos ring you need 2xR8 and 4xR9.
If the answer is yes then i'll go with 3xRank 12
If the answer is no then i'll go with 2x11 and 2x10 for 11%
https://www.reddit.com/r/Neverwinter/comments/6dar11/whats_the_reason_to_diversify_the_types_of_rp/di2c33z/ .
If you have 11% total then you will always get r/6/7 no matter which combo you use.
On the question 'is there any percentage that only gives rank 7?' - no. Once you hit 11% you are at the max in terms of quality of rewards you can pull - this was tested using 6xr12's- https://www.reddit.com/r/Neverwinter/comments/66q8z7/psa_quartermaster_enchants_are_awesome_heres_why/
I tested the following combinations:
3xR12 (10,5% total): Works
2xR12 + 1xR9 + 1xR8 (10,5% total): Works
3xR9 + 3xR8 (10,5% total): Does NOT work
4xR9 + 2xR8 (11,0% total): Works
1xR10 + 4xR9 (10.5% total): Works
1xR10 + 1xR9 + 4xR8 (10.5% total): Does NOT work.
1xR11 + 3xR10 (10.5% total): Works
So as the post above me said, it does depend on the combination, which is pretty illogical but it is what it is. I stand by my original assertion that the 3xR9 + 3xR8 combo is the cheapest effective way to open QM Bags but I will be updating my reddit guide with the correct info.
10.5% works ONLY with 5 utility slots. You can not use the 6th slot to reach exactly 10.5%. You can use it to reach 10.75% or above and only then it will work. In other words, if you have Makos's ring aim for 11% (using six enchants) and if you don't aim for 10.5% (using five enchants).
Btw added a little note at the bottom of the Post.

> So 3x12 or 1x11+3x10 does NOT work when you have Makos Ring equipped? That's it? Too bad, i wanted 3x12 because i would use the other 3 utility slots (Makos included) for Dragon's Hoard or Fey Blessing, but now looks like i have only 2 slots left.
That's not true. Perhaps I should have written "five utility slots or less". 3xR12 or any other combination using five stones or less will work at 10.5%. It's just that it's a much more expensive setup than 4xR9 plus 2xR8.
