Don't expect to do this run a dozen times and find Sup Vigors and Absorbs.Its just not going to happen-why do you think these runes cost so much, because there RARE and hard to find.

For everyone who might have wondered, yes, the Ettins are still generous after the latest patch...
...even though those two were both Major runes
Btw. it seems that even though I might be able to take on and defeat up to 8 ettins at once, it still doesn´t seem to give a better chance at getting the rare pauldrons.

Yeah, that was my only double rare drop in about a week, and as I said, they were both only Major runes. In my experience, the rare pauldrons drop about once every 15-20 or so ettins, and only about 1 out of 5 is a superior rune, but it varies a lot too. Longer runs seem to up the average a bit. And you have to make sure you go all the way throught both areas and exit to the third and come back all the way so you literally change the zone twice every run, even without going to the town inbetween, which I don´t do either until my inventory is full.
Ive always enjoyed Ettin farming and I agree with you Chuba in that my drop rates are comparable with yours except I find Gold armour seems to produce more than 1 in 5 superiors.
I have not been able to farm them lately though because I have unlocked the Defend Kryta mission with my farmer and have not been able to find a pug for it. Them damn Titans have killed all the ettins near captin Greywind.

I saw someone mentioning three zones ? Usually I exit from beetletun, go to ascallon settlement and come back to beetletun.
Do I miss something? I made two runs this morning, and found 5 or 6 minor, 1 or 2 major and 1 sup. healing in all. I guess beguinner's luck
I don't expect having that much in a few days

Yeah, abandoning the quest and beginning a new run works well on that situation. Boubou: when I said three zones, I mean starting from Beetletun, going all the way through Nebo Terrace, Northern Kryta/Giant´s Basin and zoning in to Scoundrel´s Rise, then immediately zoning back at the entrance and fighting through to the Nebo Ettins and again turning back. That way it reduces the anti-farm drop reduction as you literally visit three different zones.
