Any plans to make these protoform materials available in any other way besides a weekly chest in the raid that no one goes for, a 5% droprate from a weekly raid boss and a 1% droprate from an overpriced cache?
At this point I’m considering to pretend those 5 mounts you need the protoform materials for don’t exist, all the times I did Lihuvim I never saw it drop for anyone, I’m convinced I’ve bought close to 50 of those caches without ever getting either of the 2 things I need.
You really messed this one up for the people who mostly focus on collecting things, wouldn’t be too hard to add them to the Olea vendor for like 500 Cyphers each or 10k Cosmic Flux as example.
While we’re at it, they should also buff the drop chance of the Mawsworn hulk schematic. I’m close to killing 300 of them, and no schematic yet. Also on the way to open the 3rd paragon chest, hope it will have it inside so I can stop farming the same dailies over and over.
And also, the once a week golden ingot also has to be buffed. I was lucky enough to get 1, but the 2nd one refuses to drop so far.
I was very sad. The friend I play with got the Tools in, I think, his second Olea cache and didn’t realise why I was hopping up and down in jealousy combined with fury as I open one every couple of days and not a sign of them or the bridle.
I did get the hulk schematic eventually but have yet to get the jumping one as I don’t have the dexterity. Nor do I have any ingots.
I like the idea of adding them as purchases from the Olea vendor and maybe they will eventually but, for now, my almost main activity of collecting mounts and pets is strangled.
I don’t mind the Unalloyed Bronze Ingot that much since its a pretty straight forward try once a week thing and you’ll get it eventually by doing that, can also set up your alts for more opportunities, but if you have to grind out a ton of currency like the Cyphers just to get screwed over on a 1% dice roll I don’t know what they expect people to do. Farm 700+ cyphers a day and buy 200 caches in total (which would cost 140k Cyphers) just for 5 protoform materials?
