I've done over a hundred arena runs(easily, not counting cuz I am past caring) and still no recipe. I've also collected 2 breezes and an ingot from running planar tombs and have yet to receive a planar tombs chest. To top it all off I must be on my 400th chest from huthgulu and still haven't received the golden cupid wings for my mage. I've tried everything including opening on a different account and farming on a different account.
Now that I'm done cribbing about my "cursed" account, I would like to say my views on why some accounts just don't get anything. I've seen this on many MMO's which include a separate drop system for each character. Usually the "drop table" in these games r fixed for each character. For example, suppose player x makes an account, this account is given an ID 1234 now then this account is given the "luck" of looting certain things more than the chance of looting other things, his drops r calculated on an algorithm which is predefined(in AL u add in all the variables like loot reroll or damage counter, which I don't really think affects the drops on boss). In other words, ur luck isnt ur own luck, STS has given u ur luck on AL. My time on AL has taught me that I should stick to using the same lep :3 cuz usually(not always) I can tell when my lepre is going to re-roll and that when I do get lucky(all my ill begotten luck ends once in a while) u get super lucky.
Once I got a lock as my first drop on my twink mage. Once during shuyal cap I looted 3 pylons back to back with luck and loot. Also I ran like 50+ planar tomb runs without a lepre(lepres too mainstream, also I think it rerols the chests to locks) and looted a planar staff brutality without a reroll,which was pretty cool. Also my first ever elite map(elite Breckenridge forest) I looted a kettle, till then I had never looted an egg! Good luck might be elusive but when u do find it the pleasure is multiplied by the wait
P.S.: that bit about STS predefining luck on some accounts might not be correct but that's just my way of looking at it.
P.S.S.: Also it would be cool if STS would tell us how loot reroll and luck systems work besides the vague references to what our chances to loot an arcane nekro at arena are!
