Does it ever drop? Been running the skirmish for 2 days now, must have run through it about 50 times so far today and not a single gem. Should I just give up now?

    That sounds about right. I've run ~60 times and gotten 1 Dragon Gem, and most people are acquiring them at the same rate, though there's always those lucky exceptions who run it 10 times and get 3 of them.

    Keep in mind you also have a chance to get BoE artifacts and artifact belts from the chests, which go for anywhere from 100k-400k AD depending on what it is. There's also the 3pc jewelry set, and when I checked yesterday each individual piece was selling for at least 60k.

    Yeah, I got 1 of the rings from the 3pc set, and 2 glyphs (pretty poor return considering how many times i've ran the skirmish now).
    I need the gem to get the weapon from the campaign though.. it's actually becoming painful I've ran it that many times.

    It's meant to be. It's a pain to get it but once you've gotten the one you need and have it fully upgraded you'll never replace it.

    Is the drop rate better in the dungeon, or do they have the same chances to drop in either?

    What is this gem you guys are talking about?

    It's a Dragon Gem, a prerequisite item for the Dragonforged Artifact task near the top of your campaign tree. In order to start the task (takes 20h to complete) you need 1 Dragon Gem, 1 Dragon Bone, and 1 Dragon Forged Steel (not a Shard!).

    Once you complete the task you receive a chest containing 1 Shard of Dragon Forged Steel and a random artifact weapon; I believe each class has 5 to choose from. In the event you don't receive the weapon you want, you can salvage it for an additional Shard of Dragon Forged Steel. Once you have 6 shards you can buy the weapon of your choice from the Dragon Hoard Vendor, a dwarf standing near Harper Boward in Protector's Enclave.

    Each weapon buffs a different At-Will power and can be upgraded in quality from Green->Blue->Purple->Legendary. The weapons are currently BiS for everybody as far as I know.
