Since the last patch I've done multiple runs and can confirm that companion accessories are no longer dropping, they have been replaced by Wondrous Grommet from the event.

Don't waste your time.

    Hey there,

    Just out of curiosity, where do you get these companion drops? Is it only from the Epic dungeon? Only from the bosses?

    Thanks,

    I would not at all be surprised if these got a nerf to drop rate. it seems unified elements also got a nerf to drop rate - and ANYTHING of value seems to be getting the nerf bat.

    The question seems to be ... exactly how much of your life will you willingly give up to grinding?

    I've also seen the companion only items drop from the chests on Tier 6 SCA.

    Can confirm - I have received one from a chest and one from the boss at the end (prior to last patch). Have also received none after clearing the dungeon.

    Not to hijack the thread, but loosely on subject of drops from SCA epic dungeon; about a month prior to mod 6, I began being able to finally complete the epic tier 6 dungeon. Was sorely disappointed to find out that I didn't get the lightfoot thief at the end the first time, but after the reading the forums, found out it is not a 'given', only a 'chance'.

    So, carried on - I have now completed it dozens of times since then, and still have never had a drop of the lightfoot thief. Was so happy to see it was much easier to do after mod 6, but now I'm wondering if the drop has been removed from the table, hopefully inadvertently. I know there are a couple on the auction, but not sure if they've been 'saved' from before, or if I am just on the wrong side of the RNG again.

    Anyone able to confirm getting the thief since mod 6 dropped?

    The Lightfoot Thief has never been a high drop chance. People have run Tier 6 SCA dungeons hundreds of times and not gotten one.
