Black Ice Bow

edited June 2014 in PvE Discussion
Hello NWO.
I have been on the hunt for the Black Ice bow since IWD Module 3 on the preview server and Live for awhile now. I have done over 30 of the Epic Encounters (all of them several times again, and again). I have only seen the HR black gloves Reward from Remorhaz (6 times now) and other random Hammerstone Epic items, but have yet to see the Black Ice Bow...

Was wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on this?
Have you heard of anyone receiving the bow in the Reward for the completion of the encounters?
Have you received the BI Bow?
If so which Encounter? (Epic or heroic)

Anything would be greatly appreciated to help narrow down my search for the allusive bow.

    I've never heard of anyone getting a bow. I've done over 50 epics and 100 majors - no glove, now bow, nada. I have gotten one Hammerstone item and one Elk Tribe item (neither of which I could use as an HR).
    I aim to misbehave

    Yup, got it off Beholder after maybe 15-20 tries. I think he's the only one that drops it.

    I have made this request in another post approx. a week ago and got 1 response of somone getting the black ice bow from Protect the prospectors. seems to me that the Dev's need to turn up the chance rate on this item.

    Off Topic of IWD. I have also been trying to get the off Hand Formorian blades from MC. I have ran a combined MC 2/3 and 3/3 a total of 64 times now and have yet to see them. I have seen every other Off hand 2 piece bonus item drop from there, except the HR blades.

    Can anyone confirm the HR offhand Formorian Blades from MC?
    If so which Boss?

    Ok thank you very much for your response Hamlet.

    To Silence.. I can confirm the HR Black Ice gloves drop from Remorhaz. I received my 6th one earlier this morning from it.

    Developers / Cryptic. Could we please have better chances of getting these rewards soon.

    Mine came from either this or Raid the Raiders. I got it the first weekend.

    I'm very casually playing 6 different characters and only doing heroic encounters that pop up while I'm on the map, so I tend to have no idea where stuff came from because it's all a blur.

    Got it after IDK how many tries from Beholder.
    @dyeslee Mine dropped first boss. Keep in mind they are BoP so if someone else in the party gets them first you are SOL. I usually agree with VT groups in advance if someone needs offhand all others pass on the drop. It only recycles for 10k or so.

    ok cool ty so much, on both accounts Query. I typically post for MC 2/3 in the LFG channel on a daily basis If I'm not trying to farm the Epic / heroic encounters in IWD or DV.
    I'm almost to the point of giving up on MC, I've collected over 400 Seals of the Dark Fey to the point of exhaustion.
    But what can ya do right? I'll keep on the grind of the Epic Enc's, MC, VT, until I can get my upgrades.. Its a play, pay, or grind to win game, so gotta do something to get what I want for my HR :).

    If any of you are interested in Farming MC, CN, or VT.. I'm usually on early mornings EST 8ish-12pm. Send me a PM and I'll be happy to add you as a friend. (PM me here with your @name, then I will gladly add you ingame)

    I got the blades twice from the first boss in MC.

    Regarding the IWD bow I got it from the Beholder.

    I created this forum for results of where the Bow and blades drop, not to troll.. If you not going to post useful information, then don't post at all.. If your gonna make snide remarks, then go somewhere else...

    I received a second bow from the Beholder last night.

    Note that I have not really farmed heroic encounters at all, only done the ones that popped up where I was already playing. I'm not convinced that spending hours looking for invites going from instance to instance will get you the drops any better than fairly casual play.

    It does seem that way.

    I was just collecting some weapon thingies when it spawned. I just said 'screw it' and started attacking. It wasn't a minute or two later that a couple more people showed up and then we finished it. It may have helped immensely that I attacked first and fought the first group (Chill Zombies and the one Wight, not the two groups of Wights and Battlewights. I'm brave, not suicidal) and was the only HR in the encounter.

    Nope. Any Epic HE can drop main hand/gauntlets. For instance, one of my CWs got his Orb from Undead invasion.

    The hypocrisy is rich in this post. You tell him not to post snide remarks or things that aren't useful yet you did exactly that.

    First of all, i want to apologize to Nurmood. I came across rudely for his post, sorry that i posted a rude remark to his post and for any concurrent replies to it.

    Has any1 noticed a better or less drop rate on the HR gloves or bow since the most recent patch?
    So far seems that the Beholder has a huge lead on the HR Bow, and Rem on the HR Gloves.. Hope that this post is helping other HR players for a chance on getting these items.

    Ran more MC's over the last couple of days.. still no HR Formorian blades. grrr LOL
