Curse

So, I started running the A/E build sometime last week. I made around..80 Ectos in 4 days.
Then I noticed, for 3 days in a row, i'd gotten a black dye drop, woot!
Then 2 days later a white dye drop.

Now, i'm finding myself barely getting more than 2 ectos per run, compared to my 5+ ectos on my previous runs..

Have a overfarmed the UW, that now i'm getting reduced drop rates?
Alls I come back with now is around 1/2 ecto(s) and Dust.

Thanks.

SW.

you and everyone else who farm the uw, the minderblades are milked dry and they got no more ectos to give you, go do a mish or something for a while then comeback they'll be all ready for you to milk them again

First,

and secondly, repeat the following mantra:

"It's all a matter of luck."
"It's all a matter of luck."
"It's all a matter of luck."

Also, it might not be a bad idea to take a break.... (just a thought)

I realize that it is all a matter of luck as well, but it seems that lucky is now getting 1-2 ectos instead of 5-7 like i used to. idk i guess it's because they've been milked dry as dilan said

maybe the 5-7 was lucky and 1-2 is unlucky and really it's around 3-4. btw if you use search for ecto drops or something like that, you will probably find about 1000000000000000 threads like this one

There are still some hardly-ever/lesser farmed places that still drop awesome stuff...

- Monolith Temple solo in HM (including run to the temple - every drop under the sun except ectos)
- Grawl on Ice Floe (About 6-10 golds a run, passage scrolls, elite tomes)
- Tombs (The first stage is overfarmed but the later stages have awesome stuff - stick with it and you get 6-8 Greens at the end too, takes about 1 hr 30 mins. )
- Good ol' Raptor farm (hint hint - go to an empty district

)
- Corsair foes on Istan

Don't forget that running can be as profitable as farming if you find a popular, usually hard or long mission and find a way to complete it in less than 10 minutes. I make about 20k an hour by running, and if it's an hour spread over a few days due to less time, it's nice to see your money slowly build up until you can buy something nice.

HINT HINT - Make 1k in 2 minutes (only once per character) by using Ursan in Augury Rock Hard Mode!

Isn't there like, oh I don't know, other QQ threads about this very same thing? And do we really need more? No, Riverside is for discussion, not QQ.
