Q7 Weapon (Spellweaver)

Hey there...
So I've done like 100+ runs for Q7 weapon on my Spellweaver...So far I got like 3x Gloves but 0 weapons

Does anyone happen to know whats the drop chance of the weapon, and does it increase with the difficulty that I am farming the Boss on? (I am currently forced to farm on painful because my damage is quite low for Excruciating and above).

I am curious because in Release 220's patch notes I saw that the drop chance of Unique items has been increased, no one said by how much tho. from 3 runs on q1, I got Grimmag's boots twice, 2 runs on q5 and I got the Chest unique twice...100+ runs on q7 though, i did not get not even 1 weapon.

Thanks in Advance!

 

drop rates of junk unique items were increased, but not those of actually useful unique items, which remained the same

 

You spelt ridiculous wrong.

 

This is the BP answer to the unending complaints from me and others, about lack of diversity and the OPness of the Q7 set.
They could have redesigned other sets to make them more viable, or they could have nerfed Q7, or do something else, idk; but instead they just reduced the drop rate to 0. It's smart. Old players who have Q7 keep leaving, and new players cannot obtain it. So, soon there will be no one using the Q7 set! It's actually brilliant.

 

Soo there is no point on farming q7?
Maybe instead of it q4 or full moon?
Or they also have 0 drop chance?

 

Q7 weapon is dropping, today I melted 1 from circus herald.

 

All unique items drop. The problem is, the most useful items seem to drop much less.
If you want to farm for it, it may as well drop on your 300th run. Or 2nd run. Or never. Who knows...
2H weapons seem to be the rarest.



I think overall, my slightly troll post wasn't that far from truth. You can seriously force people to use different items if they just never get that one item everybody wants.
Fortunately for mages, there are solid alternatives.

 

Is the drop chance of q4 higher than q7?

And should I go for q4 or just continue farming q7 just on higher difficulty (I was told that higher difficulty means higher drop chance)

 

No (at least for my personal experience).

The drop of all the weapons - considering as worth of mention only Q7, Q4, Bloodmage - seems to be the same as pre-r220. That means: very rare.

The chance of drop of other sets or other parts of their sets seems higher now but weapons are still quite chimeras. Especially now that - tah dah - shops have been removed from the game.

 

Fwiw - although i havent played much, i have gotten only 1x of the desert 1H bow and 1x of the desert 2H bow in my farming of the desert on test server in the past month. i was thinking i would probably craft t3 1h desert bow and t3 desert quiver - to go with my crafted t4 desert torso - but unfortunately the 1H bow had crap base stats so that will wait.

Wrt w sets, i have not gotten much on agathon server on my dk or mech, but i am playing drastically less.

 

Ditto here. Playing now is pointless, and the time I dedicate to it is diminishing more and more. However I have had the opportunity to do several tp runs in both Q7 and Q4 in the last few days, just to help a friend find a decent weapon ... and the result was zero in both Q.

But anyway I don't understand why you should work so hard to craft the Prosperous oasis weapons (I imagine they are the ones you mean) since they don't offer much more than any legendary weapon (unless you equip yourself with 5/6 pieces of the Deadal Qaizah Armor set, to benefit of various set bonuses included the +15% damage).

 

Basically, my ts character has a ton of cores and a ton of gems from when they were given out, but not a lot of anders. I also have a 3x idoti/1x speed all gold enchantments crafted t1 leg bow with 1 slot and a t1 or t2 leg quiver with 3x crit dam/1x crit, with 2 slots. If i could put the enchantments on any 1H of decent quality and match it with a useful quiver (i have a t3 desert with gold base), i'll be able to test the pws a little better. The other bow i was thinking of using was the bouncing blade but it costs too much to augment.

Anyway, i played very minimally yesterday (just log in for daily rewards on TS, then logged in and did 1 daily on agathon) so it is unlikely i will do this any time soon.
