Many moons ago I can recall doing TT runs with my Veno friend he was 76 at the time, I was in my 60's drops rates on TT 2-1(single mode) were pretty good, usualy 1-3 frenzy an odd forshuras and sometimes a black fengs.......now ur lucky to get 1 frenzy......having done 3 with 0 drops, i tried 2 x 1-3 again zero drops, ive just complete a run of 7 x 1-1 and got one...........yes one Broken Drum, randomness of drops aside....has anyone else noticed such poor return on single mode..........or as well some of my friends are saying squad modes now seem to drop a lot less (and yes all runs are subd')

    You are talking about squad and she is talking about single I think. I personally have never get more then 3 mats from 2-1 single, when I solo 2-1 single, I can usually get the cost of subs from mirages and mats dropped from first boss (mats drop from third boss does not worth anything), if the forshura drops, that’s my profit, otherwise I break even. So it is 250k profit every 2 runs. Stopped doing that a long time ago.

    My last 7 solo runs in 2-1 I got 1 drop. Last 3 squad runs in 2-1, no squad got enough mats for everyone to get even 1 drop. The drop rate seemed to really change after the recent fixes, not sure if it's cooincidence or what. I do know, it is no longer worth the time or effort to run TT, is better to grind and buy the mats needed. By drops I mean mats used for gear, I did get some mirage and clunky swords, but that was it.

    I did 3 squad runs last weekend. I did not pay attention to what mats dropped from Fataliqua, General Feng and Soulripper, since I do not need them, I do not take any no matter what they drop. but I know General Wurlord only dropped 3 mats (1 each run), and Cosmoforce drop nothing the first run, 2 tooth the second run and 3 tooth the third run.

    Solo mode has been pretty pitiful the last few days. Feng's Steel dropped yesterday and made up for it, but if not for that I would have basically covered the cost of subs.

    Random loot is random. 3 years of wow taught me that >.>

    There have been no modifications to TT drops. They have been consistent since the launch of PWI.

    Maybe you had a streak of bad luck? In which case hopefully your luck will change soon. :)

    I sure hope thats the case and things will even out. Squad mode: 3xTT1-3 with no apoc page drops and 2-2x2 with 0 and 1. In two of those there were not enough mats to split between the party...and we killed every boss. Must be karma catching up with me for all the mats everyone else got....

    I agree.. I did a 2-1 yesterday.. max bosses.. and not a single mat dropped from the entire run.. celestones, skulls and klunkies.. personally, I don't think that the bosses should drop skulls and klunkies at all.. since they can be gotten from chests and regular mobs..

    either that, or make the chests have a chance to contain mats :P

    We could all learn a lot from crayons, some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names (like chartreuse), and all are different colors....BUT they ALL exist very nicely in the same box!

    Most drops in games like these are based on a random numbers generator or RNG. Basically its the luck of the draw. Thats probably why I have only ever seen molds drop in 2 FB's out of all that I have been in on.

    3 mats in a 1-2 solo mode is pretty good, especially if you got mirages too.
