I pwnd U with the "Rez of the Week" Award. Three months, wow!

Ellix Cantero · Nov 28, 2005, 07:32 PM // 19:32

I probably had 750 hours played before I got my first black, and then I got 3 in one week (and none since).

Rare if you don't have 8k to buy it. Rare if you depend on getting it drop from different enemies.

Thailii Monkey · Nov 28, 2005, 07:34 PM // 19:34

1,300 hrs on 1 acc
30hrs on the other
(mostly pvp mind)

had about 4-7 black drops

1 off hydras 1 from fissure

and one off grawl(south shiverpeaks) and pre searing on my 2nd account, newbie chars get better stuff

Sagius Truthbarron · Nov 28, 2005, 07:36 PM // 19:36

I've played for 1,080 hours and I've gotten 3! But I don't really care, either

DeanBB · Nov 28, 2005, 07:36 PM // 19:36

I only read the OP, but I have not had a black drop for probably 3 months and before that think I had 3. This last Saturday my son and I were playing together doing quests and missions in Old Ascalon, no henchies. We had 14 dyes drop in about 7 hours of play, including 2 blacks and 2 silvers for him and a silver for me.

I played my level 18 elementalist the whole time and he was split between a ranger and elementalist, who both finished at level 12.

MSecorsky · Nov 28, 2005, 07:38 PM // 19:38

Couple weeks ago I had two drop over a two day period, each for a different character. Been quite the drought before that, however.

Sir Skullcrasher · Nov 28, 2005, 07:41 PM // 19:41

Is it me or there is more rune drops from different enemies. Just this week.. i got total of 10 runes, 4 are superior and rest are major to minor runes.

BWoods · Nov 28, 2005, 07:44 PM // 19:44

Yeah, I had myself a good spot where I got 2 superior, 1 major, and 5 minor in about 4 hours of farming.

PS: No I won't tell you where :P

Mordakai · Nov 28, 2005, 07:45 PM // 19:45

So, it's established that Dyes drop more frequently in Pre-searing? Or, do we just see more dye b/c it's solo?

For the record, this weekend I've been farming while hunting bears for Hunter's Ale near Fort Ranik.

I found LOTS of dye, including 2 Black. Now I can't stop farming in pre-searing... (30 Hunter's Ale and counting, LOL!)

Yes, since anet swung their nerf bat at the farming industry a few weeks ago, runes have been dropping more often.

I LOVE BOT FARM NERFS

it spreads the loot around more evenly for everybody else.

after the giant so called *farming nerf* months ago my drops got much better as the area farmers found their 20 superior rune/hour spot was only average .

Sir Skullcrasher · Nov 28, 2005, 07:56 PM // 19:56

I notice more gold items or weapons drops too....

Won't tell you where but here a hint.......

...

DarkSider84 · Nov 28, 2005, 08:09 PM // 20:09

I've had 6 or 7 black dye drops total, between pre/post searing in about 450hours total ingame time between all 4 of my no L20 characters.

EDIT: Note, i have only gotten 1 sup vigor, and no sup absorptions or any of the gooood sup runes other than having to trade for them in this time also.

Atreoo · Nov 28, 2005, 08:13 PM // 20:13

I have over 1k hours and never a black dye!! I have 3 ascended characters with all missions complete and Im primarily a farmer /pvp player now!! I exclusivley do FOW -UW - Grenths and SF!!

Griff Mon · Nov 28, 2005, 10:59 PM // 22:59

Three characters, two ascended. four black dye drops, one of which I used on 30 Armour. The rest I sold to get better armour. Maybe half dozen silver.

Kool Pajamas · Nov 28, 2005, 11:08 PM // 23:08

I have over 800 hours and no black dye drops.

BMovie · Nov 29, 2005, 08:57 AM // 08:57

It's finally happened. Got my first black dye last week (after prob 400+ hours, haven't used /age recently

Came up for my new Me/R character outside Piken Sq. First really 'wow' drop I've had... actually, no, tell a lie, my L20 ele had a sapphire drop outside LA a coupla weeks back. Maybe that's to make up for nerfing my favourite AoE stuff

RTSFirebat · Nov 29, 2005, 09:19 AM // 09:19

On my travels of 600+ hour gameplay, I found its easier to get a good deal off other players then hoping for that one special drop. Annoyingly I need to Superiour Vigor runes... and hell no am I paying 70K for one
