Hi fellow players!

Ok, i don't know, if i am unlucky as usual again or did they do a ninja nerf again, like with a few things in tomorrow's/yesterdays's patch?

Playing for a few hours i got with 5 enchants only 1 peridot, 1 minor stone and 1 pearl?

Before patch there was a reasonable difference and i mean for better.

    I've noticed a substantial drop since the patch. That is, a substantial drop since the last substantial drop/daily cap. Last night I ran all of the Sharandar, Dread Ring and ToD dailies and got about 10 stones, 5 of which were pearls, the most valuable one was a lesser resonance stone. I run 8% DHE. >:/

    I didn't kill enough stuff to get any idea, but recent experience indicates that if you play in the evening and then start again in the morning, they won't have cooled down sufficiently to get back to giving normal drops.

    I've experienced that as well beckylunatic. I've actually started wondering if they are on a 36-48 hour cooldown because of the drops I have been getting.

    why dont they just remove the item from the game already!

    That does depend on what timezone you're in, but you're correct in essence. With them only working 1h a day, you may have to wait for the next "neverwinter day (server time)" for them to work again, which in my case is at noon.

    I wasn't sure if it was a server reset thing or if they were something that was tracked individually to limit your drops within a 24 hour period. Anyway, if you've actually correlated it to server reset, that's helpful.

    After all of the Common Cause dailies including the Lair, Dragon and extra killin' waiting for Vilithrax plus the Seed dailies I have: 1 peridot and 2 minor res stones. This is after a Neverwinter day reset since my last play session.

    I guess I'll try revjimjones's idea before I head to Shar, DR, IWD and WoD. Not sure what else to put in Utility slots--I'm not looking to corner the rp market; I'd just like to be able to earn what the tooltip states and refine my own gear without having to buy off the Auction House from bots or spend $20 a pop on ruby packs. :(

    Well, DH still has one good thing going for it, 20K AD gets you about 50K RP during double RP weekend. Not bad

    except you cant use them in the things we want to refine. Articacts are easy to refine now days with stacks of rank 5's at less than 30k AD. arti gear is getting harder and harder.

    Unfortunately, resocketing the enchants didn't help. Any suggestions for replacing them? How is the Fey Blessing enchant?

    Terrible, at least for me, sold it already.

    It is worse than I expected. did 2 elol runs, KR, 3 dread ring skirmishes and the dailys from DR, WoD and Shar. got one peritot and 3 pearls. SOMETHING IS WRONG AFTER LAST PATCH. These ninja changes are BS..

    I run 7%.

    I get those sorts of drops with 2%, at least I know not to waste my time getting any more now.

    I do believe that DHE does NOT work in dungeons or skirmishes. After 3 days I haven't got a single drop from running dozens of Kessel and several eCC.
  • mentinmindmakermentinmindmaker Member Posts: 1,492 Arc User
    Do the DHs trigger off just getting xp for a kill, or for getting the actual killshot?

    For some classes a killshot trigger will mean they do not get many kills in a group setting.

    However, I think the DH drop tables are specified individually for each zone, so it is very possible the skirmishes and instances got no DH tables at all.

    It would be good if Cryptic could release some proper info on this.
  • skitzopyroskitzopyro Member Posts: 125 Arc User
    Dragon Hoard Nerf didn't affect the bots at all except let them price RP higher because GG now we have less of it. What do bots get from DHE that they don't get elsewhere?
    You cant profit off of Bound RP. If you say they were using it for enchants that is BS because you get more RP from Rank 5's which drop much more frequently.
    Also enchants have zero profit they are worth less than the sum of their parts...

    Actually, DHE works fine for me. I don't know why, it just works. I got 2xaquamarine, 5xpearls and peridot doing daily mission in IWD yesterday.
  • skitzopyroskitzopyro Member Posts: 125 Arc User
    It appears they only work in open world areas but not in dungeons.
  • yokki1yokki1 Member Posts: 451 Arc User
    because people didnt read the past posts. DHE work for 1 hour then stop. per account.
  • chrystlynnchrystlynn Member Posts: 14 Arc User
    Is it one hour per "server" day? Because that hasn't been my experience. Based on my experience, these enchants have an internal 24 hour cd. Also, I did get drops in the Protector's Speech skirmish--at least 2-3. :neutral: So, I don't think the statement that they "don't work inside dungeons or skirmishes" is accurate. I think the drops are wildly inconsistent.

    All we can do is speculate without a larger sample size.

    I'm not a frikken' bot. Refinement drops from DHE are BoA. Anyone socketing DHE now is most certainly not a bot. Wildly hopeful? Hanging on to a dream of AH-free refinement? Probably. A bot? Negative.

    That's for a lesser. My Greaters are dead after less than 20 minutes. So upgrading does have value. Just very little. You get the same amount of RP from a greater as you do a lesser, but you get it in 1/3 the time.

    All DH enchants have a drop limit/24 hours and have 1 drop/30 seconds. Higher level stones just hit the limit quicker. In my case. 20 mins. Then 24 hours later I get another 20 mins.

    When I say 20 minutes. I mean mom to mob, non stop farming.
    What's with people who put their Ilvl in their Signatures? They probably have a big gold chain and saggy pants too.
