Ran the Harbinger of Madness quest chain now a half dozen times in hope of receiving the Bracelet of Thaarak as an end reward and have yet to see it drop. Has anyone received this item yet?

My AC tank has it. So it's there. =3

I have pulled it from the new quest but it is a different npc than the one that gives In The Flesh

It doesn't have a normal Bracers Symbol but one that looks like a gem on two rings

Much like Carnifex from the Delera module, you could run the chain dozens of times before it pops into your chain reward list, or you could see it every cycle -- just gotta' keep at it (or not).

Anyone notice any change in drop rates if chain is done on n, h or elite?

try being a healer and not having a damned Staff drop after near a dozen runs. It is a grind sometimes for sure.

Umm... heh... My cleric got both the Staff and the Bracers in his first run of the chain.

On the other hand, my Dwarf Ranger has run the entire chain twice and not gotten a single named item. Random Number Generator is Random.

(I've only run it on Normal, btw)

Had it in the last two end reward lists on my account. Unfortunately, I was running it so my friend could get it for *his* account.. and of course, it didn't drop in his list. Boo hiss.

But yes, it is definitely there.

And no, the difficulty of which the chain is done does not affect End Rewards. This is universal DDO logic.

I've ran the chain to ransack on my farmer, got 2 X Bracelet of Thaarak overall.

So the droprate isn't too bad.

It took me 14 repetitions to find the item on the end reward list.

I contacted Genasi, he's looking into droprate issues.


Just keep going.

I saw it a few times (2-3) out of about 8 chain completions. Could just be one of those things where you're getting bad luck on the rng.

I've seen the bracelet 3 out of 3 chain completions. I think it's all just luck.

^ This. Ran the chain again on my Dwarf today - pulled the Parasitic Breastplate and the Bow of Sinew (VERY nice bow, btw.)

The loot is out there!

It took be about 14 runs total before I finally saw it on the end reward list for the chain. umm.. Last night. Just keep on grinding, it will eventually show up.

It showed up for me on my 4th or 5th run. May the loot gods smile on you :)

I ran the chain once with guildies, most of them were looking for the bracers, I was looking for the scepter.


Of course what happens is I'm the only one to get the bracers which are useless to me, and all of them got the scepter which is useless to them. :'(

Two-manned this with a guildy the other day. I was looking for the bracers, guildy wanted the scepter. Only a single piece of named loot through the entire chain until end list and then... we saw both the bracers and scepter as end rewards!

...


For the wrong players. xD


It seems random to me, though I did notice several runs with only a single named item in the list. That doesn't seem right. First time I completed it on any character I had 5 named items. That run I of course took the potion of acid resistance (10).

I have yet to do a run where I did not see the polycurse dagger.

They're random ends like other chains are... I've seen the bracers least 4 times.

There might be something fishy, because the first time I did the chain I got all eight named rewards on the list.

It took me about 10 runs to get the Thaarak Bracelet to appear in the end reward list.

Took me 8 runs, the last run done on hard (for some xp) with a friend.
