Fomorian Flabled Icon drop rate?

Hey guys,

I've made Malabog's Castle 2/3 a couple times (sufficient to get 1000 seals), and I never seen the Fomorian Fabled Icon.
Has anyone seen this item drop from any boss lately?

Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english.

    When MC first came out, the Icon would drop every other time from the King. Since they fixed the elevator to the lower depths.....I've never seen it. :confused:

    Fomorian fabled Icon only drops from Fulminorax in MC. it's got the same drop rate as Fomorian Sword Knot, ie like 2-3%

    Yes technically, any loot can drop from any boss, but we're talking 1/100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 chance, more rare than the artifact actually.

    What Valwryn is referring to is the Fomorian Totemist Symbol, which is a junk salvage drop from 2nd boss and drops rather frequently.


    So you need to do 3/3 MC to get the icon drop.

    I always see the TR, HR, GF and CW off-hands and never see the GWF and DC off-hands in MC.

    I have done WELL over 200 runs in MC (I have bought and salvaged full sets of the gear about 5 times and still have a bunch of seals). I have seen (maybe) 10 total off hands drop, no artifact and exactly 1 crafting piece. The drop rate in there is really bad.

    I would like to second this, I farmed 2/3 a lot looking for gwf knot and never got it until I started to do 3/3 and Fulminorax dropped it, also I saw a few icons from this boss.

    I just bought one off of the AH for 10k AD, it must be trash.

    I've given up on the off hand BOP weapons for MC long ago. I ran and ran that dungeon so many times never saw an off hand drop...not once, not ever. I'm waiting for better weapons in module 3 hopefully I'm pretty disgusted with MC and the way they did it. I spent a lot of time and money getting all the classes up to 20 with purple assets on artificing and weapon smithing just to make a weapon set I'll never get in my lifetime. I have the main hands for all but not a single offhand to make the set thus I'm still using the CN sets with every toon... grr really hope they do a MUCH better job with this type of thing in future (or change these **** things to BOE and let us buy them or make the offhand like the main where we can at least make it as the RNG way can be just impossible for some)

    I don't appreciate the snark, my DC hasn't done a single group event outside of lairs and skirmishes.

    Interesting, I wonder if they recently changed them to BoE and if it was intentional or not. Anyway to answer you, it's not really trash, I'd say it's definitely worth the 10k. It has almost identical stats to the fomorian set without the bonus. Worst case scenario, you can salvage it for 10k. If I were the sellers I would sell it for more but I guess since they're used to the 10k salvage rate, that's what they see its value as.

    Are you sure about this?
    I thought only the GWF OH(fomorian) is droping at 3rd boss and DC OH is droping at 2nd boss!

    Btw I just did 20 MC 2/3 runs and no icon.
    If this continues I might just buy ancient set...

    DC and GWF offhand drop at 3rd boss in MC.
    TR and HR offhand drop at 2nd boss in MC.
    CW and GF offhand drop at 1st boss in MC.

    Ran MC 4 times today. Talisman dropped twice. I even won one of them.

    yeah the RNG is such a bad mechanic especially since it requires 20 tradeskill to finish the set. My CW got the OH the first time in MC (and also had it drop the following 20 times in a row, thought it was a guaranteed drop for a second since it always dropped for me) while my GWF took 67 3/3 runs to get his OH. DC, GF, and TR only took about 10 runs each. Then when mod 2 came out, I never bothered getting the MC key for my HR, just got the fallen dragon from VT instead.
