No Dragon Gem Yet:Just a long streak of bad luck?

98 Epic Tuern runs and no Dragon Gem yet. Am I just having bad luck with RNG, or is anyone else getting this?

    Try to run normal version, it's way easier and faster and has roughly the same (in my experience) drop rate of dragon gem. I've gotten only 1 from epic and 2 from normal and I've been running epic way more.

    I would say bad luck. I've been running Shores of Tuern epic for 3 days now (not nearly 98 times) and no Dragon Gem for me either yet, although I have gotten the Draconic Helm and off-hand from the chest as well as 3 BoE drops from the boss. I would be pissed if I ran SoT 98 times and the Dragon Gem hadn't dropped yet.

    I've gotten 4 gems so far, in about 50 runs or so. Sorry you're having so much trouble.

    The good news is the prices on the gems continues to plummet. Less than a week ago they were 8 million. Now under 500k.

    I have had four Dragon gems from the epic skirmish , I only ran the regular skirmish once so I got nothing there yet , while we are on the subject of the regular skirmish has anybody heard of the Artifact belts dropping in the regular skirmish? I know on the key tooltip it says the Belts can drop in the regular skirmish but I was sure I read a dev say it was only dropping in the epic version , anybody know for sure?

    i can confirm it drops on regular skirmish. my guildmate got an int belt from the boss (I dont know), this is somewhat unclear because he himself doesnt know how he got the int belt, there was no rolls, no picking-up, not a chest reward. the belt somehow just appeared on his inventory after the boss died xD talk about a **** nice bug (or is it WAI?).

    Well that is weird , I just did my second run of non epic Shores skirmish and a BoE version of The necklace of the Burning shore dropped off a regular mob ( one of the fire golem type guys who have a random chance to spawn at the ambush bit) why is the same if not better stuff dropping in the basic version of the skirmish? lol

    How are u guys keeping counts on the runs? I've gotten maybe 6 gems, and I don't think I've done 100 runs. My CW's used up most of the gems though, keep getting the wrong weapon, and finally got the right one.

    Are u guys opening both chest?

    Around 10 epic Shores runs - one dragon bone, two draconic off-hands, one greater red glyph. These were all chest items, not drops. No drops of any worth, no gems, nada.

    Looks I may have to run a marathon of normals tomorrow.

    3 Epic LoL runs, 2 bound CW Dragon Tunics, one dragon boner and one unbound Cleric Dragon Tunic (400k). No better chests opened yet.
    Less than 20 SoT runs and one purple Ring (forgot the price already), few dragon boners and lead bricks and some minor things. No better chests opened yet.

    Epic LoL seems to be about the same time with good crew than SoT (perhaps little longer but it's more fun so it seems the same) and is easier to complete relatively (uses less pots and kits), so I prefer to run Epic LoL. Not even sure what is the difference for the normal version. Epic SoT has relatively hard boss (it can actually kill the party and quite often if the party is bad one) and has too many times one bugged instance blocking the whole que system and finding party trough LFG channel takes pretty long, so I prefer epic LoL.

    I would really like to have some input how much the drop rates differ from normal and Epic versions, as haven't been running them that much yet.
    Give us 4 or more power/item bar profiles so we can change powers and items with one click that are suited for the situation.

    Yes.. a teammate got a green dex belt straight to his inventory. I asked whether he has a full inv, his case is that his inv isnt full. *bummer*
    I wonder if the belt will go to the overflow bag if one has full inv...

    Talk about luck...so we run epic LoL a few times last night and this Combat HR, who has only been there once before, has the Strength artifact belt waiting in his Dragon chest TWICE IN A ROW.

    RNG is a big fat cow.

    5 days with roughly 30-40 runs each,both epic and normal SoT.Not only I haven`t seen a gem or a book yet,but my chests(both of them) hold ABSOLUTELY NOTHING except the scroll,the rank 4/5 enchant,some silver and depending on skirmish time or not,the 1k ad.I`m serious,not a piece of gear,a glyph...nothing.I know I`m not the luckiest person alive,if anything I`m just the opposite,but when I count 200+ skirmishes without any bonus drop at all,I`m starting to suspect a bug...checking out the forums to see if it`s a common issue or I`m special like that...again.
