What happened to vigor rune drops? - Guild Wars Forums

T RAND · May 02, 2008, 08:27 PM // 20:27

I haven't seen a vigor rune on a drop in months. Last one was probably back in 2007. Did they get removed from loot?

Gift3d · May 02, 2008, 08:31 PM // 20:31

I got one the other day.

Zapper901 · May 02, 2008, 08:31 PM // 20:31

I haven't had one ever drop for me, minor, major, or superior, but I know they still do.

Covah · May 02, 2008, 08:34 PM // 20:34

I get minor vigors alot. Got two sup vigors yesterday with H/H,

Coloneh · May 02, 2008, 08:36 PM // 20:36

i get major vigors all the time

N1ghtstalker · May 02, 2008, 08:38 PM // 20:38

got a sup vigor last week or something

El Presidente · May 02, 2008, 08:39 PM // 20:39

Got at least 10 Sup Vigs, plenty of majors and a few minors during my last 500 chests in Irontoe's...so yes, they are still out there...

Icy The Mage · May 02, 2008, 08:42 PM // 20:42

I've gotten about 3 sups, 2 majors and who knows how many minors, but trust me, they're out there

DarkFlame · May 02, 2008, 08:46 PM // 20:46

Vendored more then I can count over the last few weeks due to event farming. You're just unlucky.

Just got a superior rune drop in Varajar Shells HM

izzywish · May 02, 2008, 09:57 PM // 21:57

I'd not had one in ages, then got a minor, major and sup on one run, and another 2 sups within 7 days. It is most definitely down to luck, but if they had stopped dropping or even the rate nerfed then the prices would rocket, which at 13k sale to rune trader they are far more common than they used to be

Commander Ryker · May 02, 2008, 10:10 PM // 22:10

It happens.......you don't get any for a long time, then all of a sudden, you get a bunch.

Shai Lee · May 02, 2008, 10:16 PM // 22:16

As others have said, they still drop. Maybe you're just going through an unlucky streak. >.<

Jenn · May 02, 2008, 10:32 PM // 22:32

You guys are lucky...
Over two years of playing and I've never got a superior vigor. I've gotten less than a dozen major or minor vigors.

RavagerOfDreams · May 02, 2008, 10:34 PM // 22:34

i've gotten a total of

1 sup vigor rune
1 major vigor rune
1 minor vigor rune

this comes with about 2 and a 1/2 years of playing

imo there supposed to be rare and the sup ones are only worth like 15k now
i would've like one when they were worth 100k....

Engage · May 03, 2008, 12:24 AM // 00:24

Got one yesterday in Cantha HM. Last one was like a year ago lol.

free_fall · May 03, 2008, 03:02 AM // 03:02

I got a major and a Sup right around Easter, nothing since then. Been getting a lot of attunements, though.

Aussie Boy · May 03, 2008, 07:31 AM // 07:31

I have had a few minor 1 major from farming the birthday cuppys in Nolani last weekend and one Gold Sup Vigor I salvaged
from the free NF Treasures 2 days ago mind you thats the 1st sup Vigor Superior I have had in all these years (3) of playing
so I was shocked when I id it O.o but very happy.

Hara Makoto · May 03, 2008, 12:16 PM // 12:16

runes of super vigor definitely still drop , i got one this morning .

MagmaRed · May 03, 2008, 12:40 PM // 12:40

They are random drops. This means that you have a random chance of getting one each time a monster drops an item. You also have a random chance of getting a few hundred (thousand?) other items as well.

Note how often I used the word RANDOM.

Nothing has changed.
