Black Ice processing tasks return 135 and 1350 Black Ice. Rewards on the overview page state 185/1850. But the Final Result box is empty, so the different Tiers might simply not be displayed.

I'm grateful to finally be able to refine black ice, but also noticed that it says you get 1850 but actually get 1350. Hopefully, this will be resolved.

Not a bug you're seeing the Tier 3 reward for using higher quality assets...
My concern around this profession will be in the farming of black ice from the deposits .
At the moment on preview it's quiet and we can run around looking for these deposits to mine , but when it goes live I can see a lot of player griefing by jumping in ( and mining , without attacking any mobs ) after someone has taken the time to clear mobs from a deposit area .
Due to the fact that a lowest level deposit can wield 150 black ice ( with some upper levels giving up to 350 ), whereas a low level HE encounter will get you about 75 ( but sometimes with extra profession items ) the majority of folk will tend to farm the deposits in order to get the initial black ice requirements to buy and then craft the armours .
Hoping that I don't see this occuring , but with human nature the way it is I see it as being a certainty .
I initially though HE farming would be the best way to get Black Ice, but with the purple pick and boost you are getting 375 from the 3x nodes so I also expect the competition to be fierce.
What we also will be likely seeing is HE hopping. Since the reward doesn't seem to be based on how much you contributed, people will touch HEs and move on, gathering the reward once the others will have finished it.

You get less reward for not soloing the lower end HEs haven't noticed on the higher end ones.
hello Devs and all community members, I've been playing on the preview server with my HR, which btw the new content is beautiful, fun, and extremely challenging! I love everything about it except for one thing..
I was wondering why all the purified and corrupt gear for the HR's does not have critical strike stats on them? and I'm not trying to be an OP or a troll about it.. just wondering why so when critical strike / chance is one of our top 3 stat priorities? especially when it comes to our DPS which I have already seen a reduction in the DPS charts because of this? any valid reason why would be greatly appreciated so that it will help other HR players understand and help us with possible retraining, and stone slotting
I will correct one thing.. there is ONLY 1 Bow, and 1 Blades that has critical that is currently on the preview server.. only 1 of each.. which IMO is pretty fail, and ofc its only a Rare Drop from the random heroic encounters.. (not in black ice crafting either)
This is going to really suck when it goes live, the prices for the bow and blades will be ridiculously overpriced on the AH if they are bound on equip.
but there are 4+ other blades and bows PVP based with Tenacity ( ofc which doesnt have critical either) and (which can be crafted, found in packs, rare drops, and the new Skirmish).. Are we going to see any chance of more then just 1 set of weapons for the HR with critical strike? or other options or opportunities to get them besides the Heroic encounters or future insanely priced on the AH?
There are those of us such as myself that don't care about PVP at all.. so could we possibly see a chance to have more then the minimum for use PVE players? Please???
Finally got all the armor pieces. ..now time to replenish my supply of black ice and start upgrading.
I've been playing the preview daily since it went up and still don't have the bracer drop from an HE. Also can't upgrade the armor because I still haven't had the salve and black ice wedge.

Have you tried the harder ones that require more people? Not completely sure on the drops, people have got it from the remorhaz ones, and epics do drop from the 3-5 man ones, not 100% sure if the arms drop or not.

It does not drop from the 2-3 man in Icewind pass or Dwarf valley, However last weeks preview build it does not seem to drop at all. I have done many many in both areas.

Incorrect. I saw someone get their 2nd arms from remorhaz. Unfortunately he can't get anyone else to queue with him in the skirmish.
Yes the arms are still dropping...for cw at least...from remorhaz. One of my guild mates got his second one. I know that infuriates cayapp...sry dude. I too am anxious to que and have 3 pieces....but not enought in que to do ot.

Hell to be quite honest I have only seen GWF and CW (heard of or grouped with) black ice gear dropping. Now it is even hard to get group for the 4-6 man HE, much less the epic HE.
I've been trying to do loads of encounters. Some people were nice enough to help. I've got quite a few epics and no bracers. The gwf managed to get 6... Wouldn't even need to get it if the queue worked as it should.

I don't understand the difficulty of adding a vendor who sells corrupt and purified gear so we can actually test not only the epic skirmish but also the set bonuses and the black ice resistance , it's been up for testing for 4 weeks now , not much else we can do if nobody can get the gear we need to do the testing....

Thanks for this clarification
The profession packs are 1600 zen and they were 33% off a week ago.
Lol hate to say it, you jumped the gun, Black Ice Profession is going to have it own separate profession pack.
Read my previous post.
Sorry man...I misquoted the wrong person. However people need to realize that the current profession packs will not be the black ice profession packs.

It also does not allow you to use other assets to get better rewards. Only tier 1 reward is available, since no slots.
