When it comes to salvaging runes of armor you find from enemies you will always get the rune as long as you use a superior or expert salvage kit. Runes that you use on your armor is something different (although it shouldn't be). You have a chance of just getting the basic salvage item or the rare salvage item.

forever · Apr 11, 2006, 03:50 PM // 15:50

I have played total 1300 hours across my two accounts, only 1 black dye dropped for me, it was from an underworld smite run long time ago.

My best drops were three gold req 13's all 15^50 on longbow, axe and sword

Troll runs felt nerfed long ago, I think those guys were right when they say if you're going to do anything but oro farming you should deffinitly go avicara.

Mostly pure luck. I had a dye dropping spree at various places in post-Ascalon before....and pre. Now that I think about it, most dyes that drop for me are in Ascalon.

The drops aren't that bad. 800g-1.2K a run, that's the result of a good run. Plus occasional purple and gold drops, along with dyes and keys, it's not that bad. My favorite part about that area is that the XP is awesome. While using a Hunter's scroll, you can get about 6,000 xp per run.

I think drops are much better when going non-solo. In a powerleveling session I have like 3 golds coming down in 10 runs whereas countless solo runs yielded basically wood and iron.

Veneficus · Apr 12, 2006, 11:08 AM // 11:08

I think i have had around 40-50 ish black dyes over 2000 hours

I am a 'black dye wh0re' as people in my guild say

Alcazanar · Apr 12, 2006, 11:53 AM // 11:53

you are very lucky i only
found 2-3 black dyes in my entire
gw history and i have been
playing for a long time

MMSDome · Apr 12, 2006, 11:57 AM // 11:57

i got a black dye on pretty much all my characters in pre searing because your character is new and hasnt killed anything and hasnt had a chance for an anti farm code at all, therefor your drop rate increases. As for golds, i got about 8 gold 9 purple drops in the past 2 nights. The best thing to do when drops decrease is farm minatours at Elonas.

ghostlyranger · Apr 12, 2006, 12:31 PM // 12:31

it is quit suck when those trolls started to just drop mountain troll tusk

jackie · Apr 12, 2006, 12:38 PM // 12:38

I farm trolls purely for the XP that comes from it. Items & Money drops are propably most nerfed in the game but maybe every 50 run one golden pops up ^_^

brave bill · Apr 12, 2006, 06:11 PM // 18:11

i think u guys may be farming the wrong trolls i farm 2 different groups of trolls takes 5 mins or so getting to each group but drops are alot better and on way i farm chests to if ev1 farms the same places of course the drops are gonna be crap those trolls are farmed 1000s of times a day missons are usually better for drops also

jackie · Apr 12, 2006, 06:44 PM // 18:44

IMHO I want to sound like troll.

N8DOGG · Apr 12, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

I just got this today, not too bad just tried the trolls the last two days.

I also got a silver dye, a key and a lot more junk

Kais Unduli · Apr 12, 2006, 07:24 PM // 19:24

Troll farming isn't that bad, I found 2 gold shields today. I've found a few black dyes, a bunch of silver dyes, and a lot of keys as well.

If you're going to get a new account, then trolls are a good spot to stock up on potential weapon mods to unlock. They drop staffs, swords, axes, hammers, and bows. Just no armor, but thats what ettin farming is for.

Well - if there is one thing I haven't had a shortage of dropping it's dyes. I stash them all on my mule. I have never purchased any balck dye, and have found I think 7 so far - I've been playing since January. Maybe that makes up for me only having ever found 1 ecto??
