Duplicate Alabaster Main Drops

I received the Alabaster Orb 2 times in a row. I understand this is supposed to be a "random" reward. However, I also know it is a simple check that if you receive either the main hand or off hand you should not receive the same item at least until you have a set. I went on two Master Expedition runs in the morning. For the first run I got as my reward an Alabaster Orb. I upgraded it to legendary but did not equip the item yet. The group then started another Master Expedition and completed it. My reward again was an Alabaster Orb. I was overjoyed to receive the first one but the second I was really confused. Receiving a second made me feel worse than not receiving anything at all for a reward. It is something that takes up space in my inventory, cannot be sold or traded and cannot be used. I am keeping the second in my inventory in hopes that I will not receive another.

    I have also received 2 Alabaster off-hands on my wizard main.. It would be nice to get the main hand orb...

    I have 3 main hands so yes you will keep receving it in any case... we should be able to trade them for the other weapon

    Well the other option is to be like me having none of them drop, but getting plenty of fighter only gear for my only character which is a ranger

    Been doing 3x ME's 9 relics found since the 4th day of Mod 16 and ive so far only seen my offhand drop once. Rest of the rewards have been blue weapons and other random gear. Seems a bit off that someone can get a whole set the first 3 they do and someone else like me might have to wait a month or more to get theirs.

    I too wished this were the case.

    I received x4 Alabaster main-hands before receiving the talisman. Funny, it was the only thing really making me want to run MEs, but it was frustrating at the time.

    I have gotten 2 offhands so far, but at least I have 3 clerics so I was able to use the second one. Still a bit annoying only getting blue quality rewards, red feather clan stuff, even when you find all 9 relics. I still have a reason to farm MEs, I still have to finish gearing all 18 of my characters.

    That's about where I'm at. I get my talisman and I'll pretty much be done for the time being with MEs on my wizard.

    I've been doing 3x ME's since day 3 of the mod on my main, and day 7 of the mod on an alt, and have yet to get ANY Alabaster items. Instead I've got about 4 sets' worth of unrestored gear...for classes I don't play. And only 1 piece for any of the 4 classes I do.

    Unrestored? I've been getting Prized Cult gear, Red Feather Clan gear, etc.

    I have gotten 3 complete sets of alabaster on my main (they just keep coming unfortunately) while other guild mates (and an alt of mine) who have been doing the same runs cant even come up with a single main or off-hand. Maybe a look can be taken into this, doesn't seem quite right.

    Yeah, "Apprentice's Ruined [item]". I keep getting hunter and fighter pieces and I play neither.

    Update. I have now received 4 orbs but still no Talisman. On my secondary character I have now received 6 swords and 3 sword knots for the barbie.
  • bloodrychebloodryche Member Posts: 11 Arc User

    @nitocris83 Could we get an update on this? I now have received 5 full sets on the Barbie with an extra Sword but have not received any more orbs or a Talisman on my main.
