Mythic pendant recipe

[Bless]

Hey all,

I was talking to a few friends and I (as well as others) have noticed that the drop rate for the recipe is ridiculously low. Presumably, it has a 1/80 chance of dropping in the arena, as I averaged out the data from others. Of course, seeing that it is a mythic recipe, the drop rate should be pretty low. There are some myths originating from this low low drop rate.

It seems that the drop rate has been lowered after the update before the end of the 'bonus plat offer' weekend.
I personally have not seen or have looted the recipe yet after around 35 arena runs (all done on monday, tuesday and today).

When I asked people if they looted any recipes on the weekend, a majority of them who did loot them said that it took no more then 10 and 15 runs tops for the recipe to pop up. When I asked my party if they looted any today, none had looted any even after more than 50 runs that they did.

So this is for the devs: Is it a myth that the drop rate was recently lowered? Is the recipe even on the loot table prior to the monday update?

Share your experiences :P

I've run 12 hours straight after the update for recipe drop rate increase with no drop so it may just be luck.

feel you, ran around 15hrs NON-STOP on my LV41 rogue, didnt look good...only got 17 glob ess., 11 frostir ess., and no rutger ess. :(

i think you need to be more lucky to get rutger ess. :(

I can name at least 3 people who looted it in 1-10 runs on Saturday alone. That's what made me curious, was it a higher chance or not?

[Azemen]

Can u loot the recipie more then once?

[Commander.]

yes

[Shimada]

Try to run the arena in a combo elixer. I run with combo first time in mage and got it.

[raw]

It's definitely luck. I've looted 2 and I haven't done more than 50 runs total.

My guess is that everyone was farming for them until the price dropped, and now with the locked crates sale, everyone is farming crates. Once that ends, they will be back to farming arena again and the recipes will be back to dropping.

Have any been looted this week? I know they were dropping for people the week of the 17th through the 23rd, since some came into my guild (I was out of town so unable to partake) but I have not heard of a single drop from Monday (Nov 24th) on.

Did 35 runs today with various parties of 4, and did not see a drop.

[Imhotepx]

For several days I'm in the arena carry over 90 run and still nothing I must be cursed we now cover with the event they may be falling Low down

[irvin]

Hard farm and many die for this recipe, so if u get all dont sell low from 10m :-)

[Jirikjurasek]

I run about 100 runs in full parties (as count of master chest in my inventory) and didnt see single recipe drop, so its 400 drops without drop

[Ravager]

Ran for 4 days.
6-7 hours a day.
Looted 4.

Thurs Nov 20 - 1
Friday Nov 21 - 1
Saturday Nov 22 - 2
Sunday Nov 23 - 0


I haven't really run arena so much since.

[Zyphruss]

When STS increased drop rate, after 3 days of farming, I got 1 recipe. Then after some updates and maintenance, No recipe. So STS if you're lowering the drop rate please tell us! Thank you.

[Amokaachi]

I got a recipe on Saturday. I didnt get any after Saturday in 100 runs. Noone in my parties got it also.

[Raregem]

I ran 4-6 hours a day from the update Thursday everyday. I did over 200 runs and finally got one after the end of the 2x offers update. I think it's really luck based. Out of the 200+ runs I only saw one person loot that I was in a pt with.

[will0]

something to do with the recent patch non for 2-3 days since

[Candylicks]

Ah they won't tell us of its been nerfed again. But seems like the consensus is the recipe is dropping a heck of a lot less.

[Anarchist]

"Its just your impression" - cit.

[aarrgggggg]

since the initial release of the recipe i have looted, 150+ arena master chests and have yet to drop the recipe.

In all those runs ive seen it drop only 1 time.......

The fact that im not seeing any in auction for 2-3 days now i am also wondering if the drop rate was secretly nerfed again.

I dont mind putting in the "effort" to attain a new pendant but quite honestly this seems ridiculous to me.

Whats it gonna take 200 runs? 300? maybe 900 runs.

My patience is wearing thin

[Bless]

Almost every single of the above say that they havent seen any recipe loot since monday.

Can a developer confirm if the recipe is in the loot table? Its annoying to farm 24/7 for a non-existant thing.

[aarrgggggg]

Im up for a challenge but this seems too much if this becomes how we attain new items from here on out
Im not sure i will even be around to farm them.

Ive spent millions on ankhs and still no sign of the recipe.
When my gold runs out from chasing items with an arcane droprate, i will quit.

[Dalmony]

I dropped recipe after ≈60 runs, as did most of the people I know who have dropped one as an average. This was over the weekend - over the weekend I saw 4 recipes drop in ≈200 runs which also works out.

After update I was still running with friends but haven't seen anymore drop but yeah... could be coincidence I guess. I've stopped running arena now though. I also know people who have done well over 200 runs and never dropped a recipe for themselves.

[Zeus]

Eoten looted recipe today.

[irvin]

So many run no recipe and lost million gold, i think good buy so cheap then run and no many die :-)

[Serancha]

Eoten looted recipe today.

Before or after the "stability" update?

[Zeus]

You would have to ask him. It's too close for me to make a call.

Yes definitely looks like there seems to be an issue.
However due to lack of comments here it is being ignored. I have experienced the nerf too. Even the recipe prices have exponentially.increased from 4m to 15m. Even the hoarders know that from monday recipes arent dropping. This definitely should be looked into as players are losing a lot of money chasing a wild goose dream probably

[Haligali]

Eoten looted recipe today.

grr, i'm gonna make him spend more ankhs then lol

[ueveotadeo]

Wow, players are spending more on ankhs and you guys think that it is a problem for sts?

hhmmmmm.............
