Several weeks ago was farming whole night (midnight-8am) in searing gorge/badlands. While elemental earth was going good I found Elemental fires in searing gorge extremely bad. I mean 0% drop chance bad from 4am for sure, maybe even after reset 3am. As I wasn’t really farming searing gorge by that time I just moved back to elemental earth as it was completely empty. At ~7am I moved to searing gorge and had a blast on elemental fires, since then I’m pretty much stuck in that area.
But today I did the same, farmed whole night elemental fires and earths. It was going good until from ~4.30am to 6.30am I got literally 0 elemental fires but got 10 hearth of fires. Drop chances:
Elemental fire 7%
Hearth of fire 5%
After 6.30 am until ~10am I started getting ~8/h elemental fires and 1/h Heart of fire.
Badlands with elemental earths were completely fine with drop rates, but elementals in searing gorge looks really screwed potentially from reset time to 6am+.
I can’t believe I was extremely unlucky for 2/2 nights having 0% elemental fire drop chance for hours and then suddenly ok drop chance at the same hours.
I long ago cane to the conclusion that you get diminishing returns from the same area you are farming.
If I hit Jadedire Run for 30 mins I’ll drop 2 or 3 Felcloth - if I stay for 2 hours I’ll be lucky to get even that for the extra 90 mins
I think killing the same mobs over and over has an impact
Farming Runecloth in EPL I move around the zone and get pretty constant drop - again as soon as I one spot one area for more than 30 to 60 mins it goes downhill
I didn’t notice anything similar to this.
Just look at the numbers.
Farming from 4.30 am till 6.30 Searing gorge and Badlands. Results:
Sht tone of elemental earth drop chance 10%
10 Heart of the fire drop chance 5%
0 elemental fire drop chance 7%
Do you understand how “unlucky” I had to be in this 2h to not get a single elemental fire and 10 hearts? I cleared searing gorge elementals like 5 times, pit, around pit, BRM entrance, everything and not a single elemental fire.
Now after 6.30 I get 1 elemental fire.
7.30 I have 8 elemental fires and 1 heart of fire.
Those numbers aren’t ok because it happened 2 times out of 2 night farms there.
