Ele sword prices had to crash somehow. God, it was less than a year ago when they were >100k. I prayed for one when I LB/SSed back then.
But yes, this farm is what killed the price on ele swords, so I assume that they must drop a lot more than then LB/SS runs (I only saw two drop, and I have 3 max LB/SS characters ).

In my experience, they drop more from the chest that usually spawns in there than from the Raptors themselves, but your mileage may vary.

Yeah I was convinced the golden egg/bunny weekend was rigged, favorably. I'd been farming raptors pretty consistently and the whole weekend I was completely slackjawed drooling at the incredible drop rate in there. It's been nothing like that before or since.

It took about a week for my first ELE sword to drop, after that Raptors couldn't stop giving them to me.

I actually had a Q10 and a Q9 drop for me both on the same evening a couple days ago (HM). Overall, I have about 8-9 ele swords sitting in my chest.

I was farming them only during 'raptor weekens', farmed quite a lot, was collecting lots of data on their drops and farming efficiency, haven't posted any data yet.
After getting 13 ele swords total I've estimated their drop rate to 0.00025% (1:4000) from HM Raptor Nestling, no boss kills. This comes only from my own farming and may be off a bit.

Well, that part is true - but it's not necessarily a big "conspiracy", just SoP.

Anyway, I did get an ele sword while farming Raptor Nestlings in HM.

I got a Req 11 Gold Max in HM Last week so, yes they do still drop. However I have been doing the Raptor on and off for a long time and that was my first one ever.

I have done a whole lot of runs there. So far, 5 Ele Swords: req 9, req 10 x2, req 11 and the first one I ever got: req 13 with no inscription slot.

Considering how many monsters I have killed, it must have the lowest drop rate in the game.

The green broodmothers daggers that drop in the same farm I have had about 100 of (no kidding)

Someone told me they easily sell in Cantha for 2k each. I've never tried it myself to confirm that.
