    I ran it about 25 times before I got my first companion.

    Needs to be a system where you at least get 1 after so many tries! Haven't found either this stupid druid or an orc wolf.

    not meant for the casual player then.
    or someone with a luck rate of 0.005%

    I'd like to see the companions added to the medallion of battle store - even if it is kinda of expensive, it'd still set an expectation of being able to get one for certain (eventually).

    Aye. After 60 attempts, I've given up. I gathered just under 3,000 medallions doing that.

    Yes to this idea. I've been super lucky in the previous CTAs, but this one has seen nothing but an endless stream of Rank 3 enchants as the reward. At least the refinement cache RNG has been kind and I've picked up two Eye's of Lathander recently on my one character so I should shut up really :D

    Got the companion after 6 runs, but a green cw companion seems pretty useless to me, unless anyone can convince me otherwise

    Drop rate is low added to RNG = annoying at times , this time I got 2 in my first 26 runs but as an example I ran the Pitfight CTA over 100 times to get one Shadow wolf mount .

    It's a Druid , sell it if you can't use it?

    The druid tosses a flaming acorn, does so-so damage. The lightning dazes your opponent and has splash damage that has a chance to daze those around it. Even messing around with mine at rank 6 it was rather nifty to watch the lil Doodad(3 guesses where the term comes from) zip around. The little guy runs faster than any other companion I've seen. Blinkdog doesn't count since it's a teleport with cooldown. =p

    About 60 runs and I have 6 druids, 10 R5s, and 3K medallions.

    3.5k medallions, only 1 druid. I had hope to get more than 1, but really, the CTA provides very good XP to level my companions which is the main reason I did it this time.

    I ran 89 times, and got 12 rank 5's and 1 companion. Dye is a guaranteed drop, as far as I can see.

    Got my first druid on my 3rd run and my second on my 21st run. I'm at around 50 runs and haven't gotten any more. The last CTA netted me 8 Armored Orc Wolves in 110 runs.

    OK, I feel better. I guess I have always been lucky before. Every time I have gotten the prize the first day after a few tries and then moved on to what ever I was working on in the game. It is Sunday and I was beginning to think it was bugged so looked and found this thread. I feel better knowing that 1. others are struggling too and 2. some have gotten the companion. Thanks. I wish I could invoke to the RNG god.

    I like the companion from Medallion store idea - just make the companion BoP when you get it from the store, but still BoE if you get it in the chest.

    I think BtA would be the best option - you can be assured to get the drop (eventually), but you couldn't profit off of it, either...

    That too. There's so few BtA things I never consider it.

    This, I didn't even give a damn about this event and didn't plan to farm it whatsoever. There was around 20ish minutes left before Dungeon Delves. Then I was like... hey let's run this new CTA event to pass time. And I got it on the 3rd run. Was pretty surprised because I'm always cursed on this kind of thing. (Skipped Orc Wolf and Swashbuckler because that ghost companion from back then took me 3 days to get, didn't want the same grind over and over again, no patience).

    Heh, yeah I know the feeling.

    I ran the Orc Skirmish so many times if I see another orc I think I'll puke. I ran that one hundreds of times, never got a single wolf.

    Ironically I ran the Temple skirmish a lot less and ended up with two Druids. Go figure. And these days I don't even use companions much anymore since I have an Ioun Stone. Still admittedly the Druid is a very good companion. The Stun technique it uses is very handy.

    I've run it around 30 times, still no drop. Seriously, as a green companion it shouldnt be that rare. The RNG hates me on these CTA events, Ive run a combined hundreds of times, and only one companion to show for my trouble.

    They need to make it purchasable via the event tokens.

    I ran it like 15-20 times on my main and didn't get anything but a few rank 5 enchants, but ran it ONCE with my lv 13 alt and got the druid, so I just emailed it to my main.
    There are lot of druids in the AH for those interested though.

    Totally agree !!!!

    We could buy the Mimic and Fawn, when that event was on.
    I cant see any reason, why we cant buy the companion,in this event.
    It also would benefit those, who don't actually do the main event,
    but do the S.C.A. part of it though.

    So I would really like to see this happen.

    :)
