Gold/Silver Scale in Poet's Palace

[K@z]

<div>Are they still droping or is there some problem?</div><div>We need gold scale, trying to get it about month, 1-3 times per day and the most drop we get is only crapy shield and craft recipes.</div><div>Some bug or what happend? Runnyeye server</div>

[Magu]

Yes they drop.They're just very rare.<div></div>

<div></div><div>Hey,</div><div>Welp, acording to this thing...</div><div> </div><div>quote: we get is only crapy shield and craft recipes./quote</div><div> </div><div>i think you maybe hitting wrong mobs? on my usual poets runs, and that arent a lot yet, i got both scales - we usually going with medium setting and get 2 masters per run definitly (most time trash no trade item)... and within the last 6 runs (on medium setting) i got gold and silver....</div><div> </div><div>i think it's something with the setting - as on easy and very hard we only get 1 master (3 test runs only, 1 easy/2very hard) and that is from eye, which is a 100% secured master drop.</div><div> </div><div>hope it help,</div><div> </div><div>regards.</div><div> </div>

<div>1. The drops in Poets are completely luck based, and have absolutely nothing to do with the difficulty setting.</div><div>2. Gold/Silver scales ARE dropping, but at a rate of about 1/15 at the moment. I can only guess that the devs don't want Guilds farming the Dragons over and over, so this is why they are so rare, and although it sucks donkey balls, we just have to live with it it seems.</div>

<div></div>you're probably right - crazed motha. But the eye drops always a master chest, even if it's [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] work to get it spawned... second point i forgot to mention above - both scale drops for me (gold/silver) came from the phat guardian, forgot his correct name (keeper, who drops robe also), so i do think it's not only luck based as you wrote...

As for the scale, only the keeper drops it, no other mobs do.

i've done PP every night now for about 2 months now, 60+ times now without a scale...thats some [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ed up luck now...<div></div>

Heyhey,well, the guild I am part of does at least do 2 PP runs the night - and that for some time now (at least since Mid December). And we never had a scale dropping. Never ever.So that 1/15 rule is defenetly out the border ....Oovaan, 60 Necromancer, Runnyeye<Shadow Wind><div></div>

[Caetrel]

We send in 1-2 groups every day and sometimes 3 or 4 groups.  We got access very early back when the masters were awarded and have been doing it since then.  Our guild has gotten 2 gold and 5 silver scales.  I guess we are among the lucky.<div></div>

<div></div><p>I think its probably what CM said ...Its about stopping them being farmed. Could be more along the lines of what is seen in future expansions. Luck, will play a large part to make items far more valuable and the system less open to abuse by the few.</p><p><font color="#ff66ff"><strong><em>* Silkwind - Runneye *</em></strong></font></p>

Thier loot table is so absolutely pathetic that the devs cant even use that as an excuse.

<div></div><p>Woot...Gold Scale dropped last night on Butcherblock. Silver Scale dropped on Monday. 1/15 is in no way accurate. Over 2 months of nightly runs and these were the first ever. At the least that would be 1/60 or so. Way too low but got mine so WHEW!!!</p><p>Graydog</p><p>60 Paladin Butcherblock Server</p><p>Guild Leader-- Truth Alliance</p>
