    Sea drop rates after update?

    - Certain items obtained from the Notorious Monsters holding the “Virtues” in Lumoria will now drop with 100% probability.

    Now I'm a little confused by this right now. When I first saw this in the update information I took this statement as meaning that they will drop something other than a weapon 100% of the time. After looking for closely, it made more sense that they drop virtues 100% of the time. My LS is currently in sea and so far we have killed three Faiths and two Fortitudes. In those five kills we have received five virtues, but no torques at all. Is it possible that SE messed up the torque drop or are we just getting unlucky tonight? Has anyone else received full drops (virtue/torque) since the update?

    *edit* I edited the title of my post, broken was the wrong word for it

    Eh. Torques have always been stingy.

    We're 2/3 on Temperence for them, but 2/19 on all the other Tier I/II jailers combined.

    Seems like it's the virtues that drop 100%, torques were untouched. Really wouldn't say 0/5 on Torques being anywhere near broken.

    Guess maybe we've just had better luck than others, because our drop rate on torques before the update was fairly good.

    I'll be damned, I thought they only dropped virtue weapons.

    We killed Fortitude, Prudence, and Justice after the update. Only torque we got was Prudence. All 3 dropped their virtues tho.

    0/5 on torques is nothing to be remotely suprised about.

    Alright thats what I was looking for. Just want a confirmation of a jailer dropping torque since update, thanks!

    Was just a little concerned because the week before the update we were 1/1 on torque on fortitude, 2/5 on temperance, 1/3 on hope and 0/1 on faith.

    Doesn't really mean anything, but we got Vice Ix'Drg today. After seeing 2vice drop in like 30 Ix kill, I'm shocked to see another. Kinda suck to not see the deed when it's what you needed.

    Killed Prudence tonight with no drops at all, not even weapon. Called GM and quoted the patch notes. Told me we were basically SOL but another GM was looking into it as a bug. Usual copypasta response. Couldn't even get our pop items back (not that they're too hard to farm now anyway).

    Today did
    2x Faith: Virtue x2
    Justice: Full Drops
    Prudence: Virtue

    Like others said, I'm guessing they just made virtues 100% and didn't change drop rate on torques at all. So easy to farm a JoL pop set now...

    ZOMG!!111!!! They took away the 100% weapons? Those fuckers...

    Anyways, Hope and Prudence tonight both dropped weapon and virtue for us.

    I'm a bit disappointed in this patch and as I much as I hated not getting the pop items each time, it means there will now be more competition and more people running around in torques and earrings that didn't have to work hard for them.

    Ok, I'm not sure if they changed anything to Ix'drg, but we popped twice in 30min.

    Killed Aw'Smn in 2nd room on our 2nd kill and it popped. Got Deed
    Killed 2 aern and finished with Aw'smn, popped again

    How do you kill it? If you tank them side by side with two tanks, and they die at the same time, nothing will drop usually.

    If that's not how it was...them damn, sucks for you?

    I posted this in newbie section as well.

    Did Prudence tonight, dropped nothing. Gm reported it to the glitch department.

    Very frustrating.

    Did another Prudence after the "no drop one" and it dropped 6th virtue and wand.

    GM couldn't restore pop items.

    So Jailers appear to be 100% on virtues but Ix's are not 100% on deeds.
