Getting to the bottom of Dragon Hoard Enchant problems (Survey)

I've noticed a ton of people complaining about dragon hoard enchants, and a ton of people also saying "I don't know what you're talking about, mine are working fine." So I'd like to do a little survey and figure out exactly how everyone thinks theirs are faring, what rank, what level, so on. So if you could please answer a few questions hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.
Level of Toon:
Total % chance of all Enchants:
Rank of each Enchant (Lessers are rank 8):
Required Level of Equipment* (NOT iLevel):
*Please note if you are using gear that scales with your level, IE, Eternal Gear, or artifact cloaks/belts
In your opinion, is your enchantment WORKING or NOT WORKING?
Any other information that may or may not be relevant?

Total % chance of all Enchants: 6%
Rank of each Enchant: 1 rank 9, 4 rank 8
Required Level of Equipment* (NOT iLevel): I wore my enchants in my level 60 epics and my old artifact cloak/belt up until level 67, and most of my drops were from this period (I haven't been playing as much since then).
In your opinion, is your enchantment WORKING or NOT WORKING?
Mine have been working fine. I have a dozen black opals, a dozen sapphires, a bunch of aquamarines and a few full stacks of peridots/pearls, and some assorted resonance stones.
Any other information that may or may not be relevant?
I did recently slot my enchants into my Eternal gear, and I have no idea if they're still working as well, since I haven't been killing as many mobs since then.
% Chance 15 (tried with 3,6,9,12,15) - same result.
Equipment - They don't work no matter of equipment - didn't work on lvl 60 gear and not working on lvl 70 either.
Relevant information:
I got 50% off ruby pack coupon when leveled to 70. Even considered using it. Guess that is reason for DH not working...
I was wearing high Viz from 60 - 64, and also leg art cloak and leg art belt, just switched to Eternal. Also wear black Ice with just the cloak and belt--haven't had one drop like this. This is my pvp set up, and in Mod 5 I got drops all the time with just these two items in pvp. This mod, no drops in GG or pvp, and I have over 200 kills.
My drop rate is way down.
If I level, the enchants stop working and I have to un equip and re equip. Other time times I just dont get a drop for 30 or so mins...I find myself un equipping and re equipping all the time, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I thought maybe cryptic has some kind of overall timer, for maybe people who play too many hours straight as often times when I log on I get good drops for 15 mins, and so so drops for the next 45 mins.
In 5 levels of actually going out to the new area and doing the Vigilante quests over and over I have
54 peridots,
13 pearls,
6 aquas,
4 sapphires,
4 minor resonance stones. That's really bad, as anyone who has run these quests knows, they are kill X amount of this, or collect x amount of that. And the mobs are bundled just perfectly for farming refining points.
i know how much I have because I used all my refining gems and tones before I left the game.
I was thinking that maybe I was getting gond grommets, that were counting towards my drop. I have had about 600 of those, maybe more, enough to make 2 blue Gizmos and other cogs.
Total % chance of all Enchants: 6%
Rank of each Enchant (Lessers are rank 8): 3 rank 9s
Required Level of Equipment* (NOT iLevel): I have the eternal set right now.
It seems to work fine... for a while. Then the drops stop, I get maybe a white pearl every half an hour.
I've been leveling my main, and I'm trying to get the second celestial coin each day, so I play around 4 hours a day, maybe a bit more, because I have to go and invoke on my alts. It's fine for the first couple of hours for me, then I suddenly notice I haven't gotten a drop in a while. I made a special chat tab for inventory drops, so I can check when I had the last drop, so it's not the question of me not knowing that the drops go into the inventory now.
sure, here ya go:
Level of Toon: 70
Total % chance of all Enchants: 6
Rank of each Enchant (Lessers are rank 8): 3x9
Required Level of Equipment* (NOT iLevel): 70 (armor, had been Helm 60, 3x Eternal before, undies) and 60 (Belt, Cloak, rest)
In your opinion, is your enchantment WORKING or NOT WORKING? Yes, in principle it works, though drop quality is low-ish
Any other information that may or may not be relevant?
I'm using 3x unprefixed DH in my armor slots and 2x unprefixed Fey Blessing in my Cloak/Belt slots. The latter work fine, and after some runs I get the impression that the two of them yield more quantity than the three DHs do, but I didn't start a count yet.
Before Mod 6 I was mainly running around in GG, Shar, IwD, and some WoD. Then I got peridots aplenty, and one or two blues an an hour, and an Opal every other day. Since Mod 6 I've never recieved anything above an aquamarine - though in the 61-70 zones...
...might be that these are treated like the old Level 5x maps, where the higher qualities were extremely rare. And also that this leads to the subjective perception that the DHs are not working properly...
Great Idea, will do that too, and check that out!
Total % chance of all Enchants: 6 / 5 / 5
Rank of each Enchant (Lessers are rank 8): 98888 / 88888 / 88888
Required Level of Equipment* (NOT iLevel): 61,61,61,70,70 (3x Elemental Blue, New Belt and Cloak) / 60,60,60,60,60 (3x Draconic Templar, Old Belt and Cloak) / 61,61,61,60,60 (3x Elemental Blue, Old Belt and Cloak)
In your opinion, is your enchantment WORKING or NOT WORKING? - It works, I get the same amount of drops with every possible stone, works with every character, with the second I don't get as many as the other two but it's a GF who does not kill as fast as TR and CW,
Droprate per hour of constant killing (while doing daylies and/or vigilant quests) is one stone every 2.5 minutes, usual RP sum in an hour is about 20k
Any other information that may or may not be relevant? - Only interesting thing I noticed is, that Stones get collected automatically and that many, who thought there would be no drops anymore instead got the same drops as before but did not notice them, as they did not have to collect them manually - It seems to me, that there are less drops during HEs, skirmishes and in dungeons (including mini dungeons in Dread Ring or Sharandar)
Total % chance of all Enchants: 5%
Rank of each Enchant: 8,8,8,9
Required Level of Equipment* (NOT iLevel): All Eternal, arti belt
In your opinion, is your enchantment WORKING or NOT WORKING?:
I feel like i hit dry spells often. Maybe because I'm not killing as many since 70+ mobs are bulkier. I haven't seen a lesser stone drop in days.
Any other information that may or may not be relevant?:
Did you know bananas are easy to open from the bottom without squishing? May not be relevant.
Yes, I agree with this assessment, I know my post was rather long. If I had time I would check to see if it was an account wide thing, or if it was as simple as just switching between alts to get consistent drops. But who has time to play alts?
More than likely this is an anti botting measure that once again negatively affects normal users. Hopefully with proper negative feedback they will remove this "feature" on the 23rd.
Total % : 4 - 8 - 8 %
The Hoard enchants works more or less as they should on the old zones, but they are very inefficients on the new leveling zones.
Those of you thinking it's a problem linked to the autoloot system, please stop insulting others. We are almost all able to follow the evolution of our stacks. And I suspect you should scrutiny yours more : who knows, you are maybe the ones confused.
Enorla, Oh so devoted cleric.
1 black opal
1 saphire
15 peridots
1 lesser resonance
11 minor resonance
7 white pearls
Now to me this seems like a small amount. In mod 5 I would get that each day so yeah I don't think they are working right
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Total % of all enchants: 6%
Rank of each enchant: three Level 9's
Required level of Equipment: 70
In my opinion the enchantments are NOT working.
I run with 3 normal Dragon Hoard enchantments and 2 Normal Fey Blessing enchantments. The first time I log in each day the enchantments work normally. Then after 30-60 minutes the drop rate rate of the Dragon Hoard enchantments slows to a trickle then to nothing while the drop rate of the Fey Blessing enchantments remains consistent. I have ACT parses of stretches where I emptied my inventory, then killed over 400 enemies without getting a single drop from Dragon Hoard enchants but ~15 from my Fey Blessing enchants. Dragon Hoard enchantments are NOT working properly. Either they are bugged or were nerfed.
when it works best in in the new content....
It was the well but now the Well is dry
Still today I have picked up some stuff.
Urlord
Total % chance of all Enchants: 10
Rank of each Enchant (Lessers are rank 8): 9
Required Level of Equipment* (NOT iLevel): one ol d artifact belt, one new greater cloak, and have switched them between two different sets of lvl 70 epic armor - they weren't working well in the DT set before that since the new mod.
In your opinion, is your enchantment WORKING or NOT WORKING? NO. It works only sometimes, I've only got 1 opal since the new mod (in 4-5hrs/day of playing) and the drop rate is usually (when not entirely nonexistent) a small fraction of what it should be.
Any other information that may or may not be relevant? Yeah. I've been complaining about this here since day one. At least 2 threads were deleted and there hasn't been the least response or acknowledgment from the dev team about a serious issue.
And many, many of us are sick of hearing this nonsense. We noticed the auto-looting right away. We also noticed when it stopped.
Ok this maybe be a hard fix somehow, maybe this is low priority to the devs, but we should atleast get a confirmation that this bug is real and that they are trying to fix it.
Total % chance of all Enchants: 10%
Rank of each Enchant (Lessers are rank 8): 3 Greater Dragon's Hoard Enchantment + 1 Lesser Dragon's Hoard Enchantment
Required Level of Equipment* (NOT iLevel): 70 (Grim Executioner Set + Belt of Black Ice Artifact Belt)
In your opinion, is your enchantment WORKING or NOT WORKING?
Definitely not working as intended. At 10% chance, the drops are consistent for about the first 30 minutes of farming, and then begin to taper off. After one hour of farming, the drops seem to be completely negligible - getting perhaps one refinement stone per 200-250 mobs or so.
Any other information that may or may not be relevant?
A 10% chance means that I should be getting a drop once every 10 mobs. This is not the case whatsoever, the chance seems to scale downwards as I play until it becomes non-existent. It's worth noting that these are expensive enchantments - 3 Greater DH can net me almost 3.5mil if I sell them on the broker. The fact that they're broken means everyone who invested this (very large) amount of money into them has effectively wasted their time and money. The least Cryptic can do is acknowledge an existing bug, or make an official statement explaining the changes to DH enchantments if they are working as intended now.
