Curse

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

).

I got 4 Ele Swords dropped for me during sweet event.

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.

i never had luck with raptors either, untill i brought Zenmai with by mistake, and guess what, i got a req 9 ele sword

i did however flag her outside my compass though

Chthon · May 18, 2008, 04:43 PM // 16:43

I've gotten 3 in HM.

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.
