Dragan event questions

except I forgot mention it , the easy and faster way solo ,is farming the buff in first run ,than in next run player can starting direct with killing the tree than statue and farming buff again and repeat .sorry guys my Bad lol

 

i didnt get drops from tress a few times. saw this post on fb by someone from our server:

"dont use summons while kiling trees if they land the final blow you dont get a drop from them."

i dont know how valid it is, and didnt get chance to test it yet. so if anybody facing same thing can test it and see.

 

not summon I guess , but I think if we blocked them from the front at certain time , they explode early and no loot ,happen to me few times even still far away from safe zone ,I play with my SM

 

I got the 4 skulls and it says they can't be combined at workbench. is this a bug or am I missing something?

 

I think ,U shall combine it at jeweler because it gems ,

 

Several times today, while in the Iron Forest at Night, my stuns were ineffective for the Trolls and any enhanced monster. Other instances would be fine, with the Trolls and stunnable, enhanced monsters being stopped in their tracks. Has anyone else experienced this?

 

ah k, so the "Use at workbench" text on them means fk all haha

 

This is essentially what I did, except i was able to kill the last tree on the first run for 40 candies.

Also, the 4th tree (the one that goes over the southern bridge) would occasionally justvexplode with no drop.

Combine 3 at the jeweler.

 

You can see my detailed look at solo vs group play in the way of cost here.

As per the difficulty in solo, it is tough, but doable. With reds, it is easy... only two buffs. With a mix of purple and blue and a very well thought out plan, it can also be done in two. Using blue, it can be done in three buffs.

 

Players no matter melee or ranged should fight side by side to block the walking tree. Don't stay away, it bites no one and has to turn right or left even backward.

 

I do know this is by design or just bug , the tree sometime prematurely explode (in my case the tree drop 10,always that ),but I heard some my guild mate have same issue but worse for 40 candy.

 

Yeah, thanks. It was pretty soloable even with my not so good DK. Longer of course as I skipped statues when soloing. Mage in a team did it twice as fast.

 

is anyone having problems combining the onyx skulls

 

Are you doing 4 on the workbench, or three at the gem merchant? You need to combine three at the gem merchant, despite what the tool tip may otherwise indicate.

 

thanks after post figured that out

 

How rare is the cape drop on normal Dragan? Why does hard Dragan drop lowest quality items same as normal Dragan? I think it's really not fer.

 

My previous pears estimation was that high because of three things:
1. I couldn't find all the statues every run
2. Because of the bug where the tree is exploding and leaving no drop. (usually the tree that is giving the 40 candies)
And the same thing happened in the live server.
3. In TS all the challenges were active in the same time ... you could play one challenge but the drops are filling all the progress bars.

Hard dragan has better drop odds. Hard dragan also will occasionally drop mid tier black knight pieces rather that black squire pieces.

 

I cannot say how much better the "chances" are in hard mode to get the cape as DSO "luck" is not something that can be explained. I never got the cape in hard mode averaging 4 trips per day. I did get a cape in normal mode about every 8 runs. I also managed to get a drop of all 3 items twice in normal mode. Helmets were the most dropped in both modes for me. Shoulders dropped more often in normal mode for me also.

Others here and on facebook reported better cape drops on normal mode, but again this is all based on DSO manufactured luck.

On the other side, I saw some players who claimed to get a cape just about every run in hard mode.

Since no one knows what the "odds" are, the easiest way is to try a few runs in both and see which is "luckier" for you, then focus your efforts on that one.

Hard mode is easier to get into since you don't have to run the "re" maps over and over again for pearls, but if you aren't getting the luck in hard mode, then do what you gotta do. I ran the 90 map over and over again until I was ready to throw up, but I got my set and now don't have to worry about it again until the next expansion.

 

Whatever it is. I have the worst!!!
With the help of guildies, I have ran hard about 150xs and normal 4-5xs now, and I still do not have the cape done. I had enuf to create 4-5 3tier Helms and 3 3tier pauls, but the cape just doesn't drop for me. I am still short 2 1tier capes

Just to add insult to injury, my group mates all get capes, and wondering what my problem is.
