You might wanna stick a fiery haft on your axe to farm and armor+5, customize it and its much nicer

Yes they did the first 3 runs i went for them 2-3 dropped each run
4 runs after 0 have dropped
good thing i got one though

how can a warrior solo these guys?? :P
I've done like 11 runs and still haven't got 1,, i've just seen loads of em drop.. to other players

Zakarr · Dec 22, 2005, 12:37 PM // 12:37

They have nerfed the IDS drop rate. Yesterday before Winterday update there was like 2 swords per run with 8 players. Now I soloed them five times and no single IDS drop.

coldslammer · Dec 22, 2005, 12:49 PM // 12:49

ive soloed it 3x too and no drop

Takeko Nakano · Dec 22, 2005, 01:00 PM // 13:00

Has anyone seen any appear in Grenths? Or anywhere else for that matter?

Nikki Moonlight · Dec 22, 2005, 01:15 PM // 13:15

i finally got one

...and you guys are lucky if you saw one every run..i did like 12 runs, and i've only seen two drop in total...

Lord Mendes · Dec 22, 2005, 01:18 PM // 13:18

hmm *cough* 14 runs.
*cough* not 1

4thVariety · Dec 22, 2005, 01:26 PM // 13:26

2 runs today and not a single one for nobody

Queto · Dec 22, 2005, 01:50 PM // 13:50

3 solos, no drops...

DevilStick · Dec 22, 2005, 01:53 PM // 13:53

I am one of the least lucky players - in 550+ hours of play, I have never gotten black dye.

But, I did at least get an IDS last night on my first run. I should probably hold it in case they really nerfed the drop rate. I saw 3 or 4 drop on my run.

Rufio Lostboy · Dec 22, 2005, 01:54 PM // 13:54

man, they don't even give you the time to get one, some of us have to work and aren't 24/7 online you know >_<

Man, you've got to have the worst luck. Maybe on #15...

4thVariety · Dec 22, 2005, 02:07 PM // 14:07

nope 15 was just as blank

Lord Mendes · Dec 22, 2005, 02:19 PM // 14:19

15 and not one dropped for the entire 5 man party FFS.
I am starting to suspect that the drop rate is related to favor of the Gods. I am goin to buy one now, cuz i think they look awesome and not because they are rare.

I did exactly 2 runs this morning, 1st run, 1 drop (not for me). 2nd run (with only 4 in our group b/c our healing monk decided he was going to quit) we got 3 drops of an IDS, and... 2 for me! I had the two (who didn't get one) play rock, paper, scissors to get the other one, since I only need one, and I don't really 'need' swords anyhow. Sharing is so much more fun than selling...

Too bad one was left with no IDS in our group. He was a good tank.

Afterwards had a lot of fun watching the Observermode! That was really good. Specially with some guilds having players using PvE characters who bring their new IDS's with them in GvG's...
