Or by arena which is given as an unknown x=<15,000 allowing for speedy arena runs at 10 mins to complete all rounds... 15,000÷6= greater than 2,500 farming hours. Of course all this is factious and the above numbers probably are not representative of sts pure number %'s as this would be unfathomable as a model base. Which is why I didn't bother to do the math. Although drop rate calculations should be reconsidered both for locks and farmers. I've spent about $400 and have seen nothing but 2 mythic helms for the last $250, and I bought during 40% off sell and opened during 8 plat open sell.
    well x is actually gonna be >= 15,000 since with 15,000 rolls, none of us got a fossil in our group.

    I think I understand though... Basically we're more likely to get hit by lighting while farming arena on a leap day than we are to find a fossil from those arena chests.
    rofl, I stood alll dayy in rooks nest when the lightning struck me...I saw...I saw...Arcane deary, but when i went to grab it. My phone exploded and i woke up :\ sadly it was a dream :\

    I feel like sts put Fossil in arena chest just to say 'It's a free game. You can farm it.' but in reality, it's impossible to obtain this way.
    Hope they remember all farmers use Plats in other ways(ankh and lix) and actually play this game too, so hope they give us better chance to make more profits from elite farming.

    I know a few who looted, but better do not expect recipe and fossil, just farm gems.

    Yup... Between all us here there's been thousands (if not hundreds of thousands chests opened. That fossil is just nonexistent in arena chests.

    Really frustrating

    Drop rate has been dramatically low lately I open crates regularly (ursume, grand crates. And arena chest) since feb 14 I hardly got anytime from crates I think it's due to the flooding of items in the market prices aren't good as before so I think Sts made a less on % of the drop rate lately .. Before I get an arcane within 2-3 days now not event a single egg for the past 3 weeks I'll i got was 2 uller helm 2 mythic pendant it's like 700 crates been open already and nothing good came out

    If this is the issue they need to state that, but as far as I know fossils have always been missing in action from the arena chests... I think there was one week (when they first added or upped odds) that two people in game looted one... Other than that I've never heard a single player looting one... And trust me, I ask around, lol

    No he didn't loot one... He bought one.

    And that still didn't come from arena chests

    Something that will make you 50m+ in one random moment should be as Rare as this. I know of someone that looted two which resulted in him having 100m+ in less than a week.

    Of course the price is a result of the rarity, but increasing the drop rate will result in:
    1. less locked crates being opened(sts doesn't want that).
    2. more nekro pets distributed throughout the game (it's an overly powered pet which should be as Rare as shady and surge for the moment).

    When people talk about upping the the drop rate, they don't mean making it .01% higher than the previous drop rate percentage. Rather, in their minds they are asking for a percentage which will give them a nekro.

    If stg ramps up the drop rate I feel that it will result in:
    1. Too many nekros surfacing in the game

    Or

    2. No real difference at all (example: increasing by. 01%)

    What I'd suggest is the introduction of a 'Farmers Weekend' which is basically a weekend which significantly increases the drop rate for randomly selected lootable items throughout arlor. If a fossil weekend came around, it might satisfy some if not most of the demand for the nekro pet.

    Everyone wants the pet, but I feel like only about 3-5% of players actually have the gold to pay for a fossil/nekro. Once they are satisfied, the price range of these items might fall from 45-55m to 35-45m.

    Just my thoughts
    Feedback is welcome

    I'm all for rare. Rare is great. Rare maintains value, rare keeps things desirable.

    BUT, at this point, I have over 900 arena runs under my belt. I have seen exactly ZERO recipe drops to anyone in my party, and I have looted exactly ZERO fossils.

    900+ runs....nothing. Too rare!
