Stormwing drops, 2.1

[Ryuushin]

#28 - Stormwing's breastplate..

Another eternal our group can't use

[Pyree]

#16 Stormwing's Tome, Azure Vorpal Scale Sword

2 weapons in a row :O

[Veyron]

Speculation I assume, about lowered timers =/= lower drop rates.

#6 Vorpal melee earring

Sell me bp/spear, Pyree!

[Pyree]

Haha, well if breastplate drops, our temp is taking the first one. But we'll probably end up selling the spear Either that or giving it to my glad, but I never play him so I don't think I'd do that.

Also, I posted that drop rate form on the official forums, but since that's a wider audience of people I don't know... I made a duplicate and posted that. I'm more worried about them harming the data than I am people on this forum, if all goes well then I'll combine the results together. If not, I'll just use the one posted here!

[Ryuushin]

Ok cool. Veyron, I would have to say need at least 10 runs to say if the instanced timers did play an effect or not xD We'll see though.

[Veyron]

Lemme know about the spear lol, legion leader offered me the option to get a...substantial loan from the bank if needed.

Unless there's a solid drop rate increase/decrease (well, its ncsoft here, could go either way lol) now that the instance timers are normal, I'll keep that idea next to the "drop rate increase from the patch only applies to 50 > instances" that's also going around. Our group joked about getting into a 2.0 instance instead of a 2.1 one depending on how many drops we were getting, makes for a good lol. "Damn, didn't drop...stupid 2.0 drops."

And I'm only counting my static group in that 6, so far we've gotten a bow, tunic, and plate pauldrons

[Pyree]

My group sometimes picks out a person to blame by claiming they haven't updated their client to 2.1 yet...

We've gotten like 5-6 eternals. Our last Stormwing fight, which I ended up bailing before they won, it was SW Cloth Body, Vorpal Sword, Essence, and Wings. Overall that was a good run. I wish my group of friends could rally together for Besh at an hour that doesn't end up with us at SW at like 3 AM. It would make it a lot easier to get our clerics the practice they need and everyone would be considerably less grumpy. I also realized there's only like 4 staves in the game I'd bother upgrading to. :\

[Ryuushin]

Do you guys think fighting Macunbello full power yields better drop rate??

[Pyree]

My hunch is that it doesn't affect it. If it did, I wouldn't think they'd make the boat event timed.

#29 - Nothing D:

[Pyree]

#17 nothing on SW

Eternal cloth pants 6 slot from Isbariya

I cam back to Aion a month ago and fell in with a HM static in my legion after their cleric disappeared. They have run a lot.. I don't know how many runs they have racked up, but for eternals I know of.. 1 Stormwing warhammer 3/5 Leather(Body Shoulder Leg), 2/5 Chain(Shoulder Leg), 2/5 Plate(Shoulder Leg), 2/5 Cloth(Feet and ?). No gloves for any of the sets. I know they have also sold 2-3 pieces, and extracted 1-2. Compared to other statics that have been running as long as them, they think they have had less eternal drops overall.

Runs I've done with them so far..
#1 through 4, storm wings and vorpal tome
#5 eternal leather legs, which ranger already has. And storm wings.

[Ryuushin]

Your drops seem to be in accordance to NCSoft's statistics but I'm wondering why drops are extreme for certain groups and barely anything for other groups.

#7 Vorpal melee earring & vorpal jewel. Also, plate pauldrons but both the templar rep (our norm wasn't on) and I had them, de'd into x1 L61 lol I got an 86 from chanter boots though!

[Trichocyst]

I need those boots you jerk. ;\

I lead a new templar and cleric into Besh last night and we had a good run. 7 gold total (3 Glad, 3 SM, 1 World Drop) and Eternal Cloth Legs, but a friend of mine got butthurt when we didn't invite him into the instance for gold glad boots (I thought he was going to bed).

[Ryuushin]

#30 - Vorpal staff =( Someone in our group must have bad luck.. probably me lol

[Pyree]

#18 Vorpal Corundum Earrings

Eternal leather shoulder earlier in the run~

Also figured out.. you can fight Macunbello 3 times in one run. 3 is a little more difficult, but 2 is very easy, anyone can do it. The basics of it are that you don't kill the elite on the docks, or take the boat between islands. To spawn 3:
- Take the boat to the first island, mark one of the trash mobs with something and no one kills that. Kill everything except the marked mob and the elite on the dock (there should be 2 mobs left), then get to the highest point on the island and glide towards the second island. Hitting the water will clip your wings, but that's ok, just run up the dock.
- Finish the rest of the event like normal, killing everything on the second and third islands. Then kill Macunbello.
- Run back around, kill the elite on the first island to spawn him once more, then take the boats and kill.

[Veyron]

Oh interesting, we never tried 3 times, just started doing 2 a few runs ago, lol

[Trichocyst]

We've been doing it twice, but so far it's never paid off.
