Title: *CRY* HW might be fixed ::sniff::
Post by: Toptwo on July 29, 2009, 07:46:43 AM
Either I am having a terrible run of bad luck, or they fixed HW. I was getting 4 HW runics a day for the last 5 days, plus a TON of lesser runics, now in the last 24 hours I have only managed 3 oak, and 2 ash...I think things might be back to normal.

  Anybody still questing post up your results for the last day and lets compare. Like I say, I might just be having a run of terrible luck.

I ran for a couple hours yesterday. Got one oak, yew and heartwood... Been going for about 30 min today and only got an oak so far.

I'm leaving now though so I'm stopping. I should have it running for a few hours later tonight. I'll update then!

When it goes back to having to go through 100s of thousands of boards to just get an OAK kit, then you can consider it fixed.  If you are getting 3-4 kits/20K boards, then things are still borked.

But borked in a good way...

Or perhaps this is how they meant it to be, and it was borked before?

Impossible to tell with these hacks.

I am thinking if anybody wants to buy some of these while there is still a glut of em on the market from last week...now is the time, because I am 90% sure they have cranked the drop rate way back down.

Been running since about noon and just got a heartwood (my first one)!

Title: Re: *CRY* HW might be fixed ::sniff::
Post by: _C2_ on July 30, 2009, 04:55:35 PM
well i got 2 last night and died at some point so it wasnt all night.  and got 2 hearts at work too.  so they certainly have not changed the drop rate.  you are just having crappy luck

Thanks _C2_,

everybody else...keep posting your results also please :)

And post up the shard your doing it on if you could plese..we can get a little better stats..also...if you notice how many ppl are around you scripting also that might help. Ultima thinks that the more ppl doing it at any one time the less likely your chances are of getting one...I think he is prolly correct in this but lets get some stats together.

Thanks All!

You can use my ENs - Overseer script to gather up those stats...

I'm also curious to see if there's a difference in Tram vs Fel. I'm mainly running in Tram and seem to be getting good results.

12hours...

9 oak
10 ash

Title: Re: *CRY* HW might be fixed ::sniff::
Post by: Toptwo on August 01, 2009, 04:57:06 AM
I actually had my first good run in a few days yesterday..here's the stats:

23 Hour Run
Atlantic-Tram
3 HW
3 Yew
7 Ash
3 Oak

According to EN's Overseer I had a total of 27 ppl there thru-out the day and I would say my avg was 10ppl there at any one time

1 HW
2 yew
4 ash
6 oak

in my bag, and still running strong...just getting ready to stop my miner and start my LJ to keep ahead.

This is starting to tempt me to actually do a heartwood quest for the very first time.

 NO F'n Way...u have never done HW?? Ok...I can actually forgive you that cuz up to a couple weeks ago it was a ultra rare drop indeed that netted you a HW...but now...Your still not??? Man...you need to get going!!!
Title: Re: *CRY* HW might be fixed ::sniff::
Post by: _C2_ on August 01, 2009, 02:49:36 PM
I'm done counting for now ...hehe
I think we get the point.
Title: Re: *CRY* HW might be fixed ::sniff::
Post by: Toptwo on August 01, 2009, 02:54:40 PM
If I was getting as many as you I would be embarassed and stop counting too! ;)
Title: Re: *CRY* HW might be fixed ::sniff::
Post by: Toptwo on August 01, 2009, 03:12:33 PM
OK...so this begs the next question..

looking for everybodys opinion here...

Are the current prices on these kits going to TANK or stay the same, or go up hugely with the SA expansion?

I kinda think HW and Yew might go way down from what they are now, but that Oak and Ash might go up from what they are now. I am not sure ppl will still be using or even trying for HW, but since the oak and yew are capable of generating a 100% mod for unraveling the prices on thos could go up pretty significantly from what they are now.

right now I can buy Oak's for 5k or so each, I think they could go up to 50K each, where the HW (which is selling now for 10-14M) might go down to 5M or even lower.

Opinions????
Title: Re: *CRY* HW might be fixed ::sniff::
Post by: _C2_ on August 01, 2009, 08:06:56 PM
well oak and ash are what i am saving to train.  hearts would have best chance of giving the highest and most difficult to get artifact relic so when SA comes out i expect there to be a mad rush for them for 1-2 months MAX.  There is your window to sell.  They are going to get down to 4-5 mil per here real soon and 4 mil will prob be the bottom out price until expansion.  Not sure how high they go or if they make changes in SA that make it easier to get top relic then all is lost.
Just my 2 cents... but it is hard to predict as i heard u can break down artis and get relic everytime so crap that negates hearts a bit. 
Title: Re: *CRY* HW might be fixed ::sniff::
Post by: Toptwo on August 02, 2009, 03:52:57 AM
I tend to think that way too..I have been selling off all my HW and Yew, and holding onto the little guys to train with. HW is selling slow, but still selling atm...so I am taking advantage of it!

At the rate these things are dropping I really need to get in on this...my bug needs to rebond (lost it to serverdown).
Title: Re: *CRY* HW might be fixed ::sniff::
Post by: _C2_ on August 02, 2009, 10:04:30 AM
You can do it without a bonded bug - i do
Title: Re: *CRY* HW might be fixed ::sniff::
Post by: SunTigress on August 02, 2009, 12:53:00 PM
my bugs are only bonded half the time, because I loose them at server ups, but you can still quest. shouldn't be an issue
Title: Re: *CRY* HW might be fixed ::sniff::
Post by: Rn on August 02, 2009, 01:31:11 PM
This looks to be intentional though, theres a big fuss on the startics boards about heartwoods dropping like crazy along with smith and tailor BODs giving higher rewards than normal. Seem to be getting ready for imbueing and want more people to experience this before its worn out

No joke! TT picked the shard. I would have picked something with a cool name, like Drakenfel or something. But no, we are stuck on slownoma

Well with the current household attitude we were definitely not doing a production/pay shard. Her requirements were family friendly without having to worry about my son wandering off to fel and getting griefed/ganked.

So we are on a Trammy only shard.
