SAD rune arm drop rates

[JeffreyGator]

It is pretty sad to be a level ten artificer without a rune arm.

completed STK, tangleroot and WW and still have nothing. I may just be unlucky but farming is becoming a chore.

On positive notes really like the xbow especially now that I am using a crafted +2 acid of pure good with shock and int damage and unlimited ammo.

Redemption back on Korthos has an arm too and I think it is always an end reward.

droprates aren't sad. They have very high drop rate. Only Deleras didn't droped for me as I run it. On other hand they are missing something to be good weapons.

I am a level 13 artificer and I haven't had a rune arm on any reward list. My leveling buddies each pulled one during tangleroot though.

I even logged onto a level 20 and farmed out those quests again to get a rune arm to pass down but none dropped.

[Chette]

Same here, level 11 artificer, no rune arms have dropped yet.

I'm sure it would be much easier without the 1000% XP though, as I would typically run waterworks, STK, tangleroot, Deleras and CO6 multiple times. The way we're blasting through levels here though I've had to specifically run a few chains just to look for a rune arm, and haven't found one yet.

[Asketes]

well they don'd do much damage at all and they look ridiculous when charged. Arm should be normal and lit up, not at some broken arm angle.

oh and just for some salt on the wounds, got one from WW, STK, & deleras first run :D

The one from deleras is real sweet

[Oolung]

I'd estimate, based off of me and my friend's findings that it is likely around a 50 - 75% drop rate

Also, the Attack on Stormreach rune arm (trial by fire) and Recoyle (Therenal, lol) are both very nice at level

[JeffreyGator]

The problem with the redemption rune-arm of course being that at least on my server it is estimated the there is a 1-2% chance to actually zone into Storehouse's secret which is a prereq quest fro redemption.

to run threnal and not get a recoyle would be very painful indeed.

Bah I ran threnal 50 times in a row to get my 2 longswords...it's not THAT bad with a capped monk speed zerging through it.

What is your "Only Class Specific Loot" set too? Maybe there is a problem with the end reward loot tables?

[JeffreyGator]

my class specific loot is checked - maybe it shouldn't be maybe 11 art 3 rogue confuses it.

I can now add that I have the raven set and marsh set from red fens but no pea-shooter.

Also haveing copied over my heavy repeater toon from ghallanda, I like the idea of using a +1 frost paralyzing heavy repeater with acid imbue shocking spell imbue and flame bolts. Sure some stuff will be immune to some of the bolts but not that much.

Um...what?

[Aashrym]

Um...what?

No one could get into the store house quest in korthos on their artificers for quite some time the day artificers were released so the only way to get the rune arm was to get it on another character that was transferred over because it was not bind to character.

It is working now to run the storehouse but it was pretty annoying when we could not.

[JeffreyGator]

I'm now level 15 and having done into the deep 2 more times I'm wondering if this is actually the right quest?

Do you need to kill the demon or something rather than being in the end reward list?

At least the XP is good but the quest is getting dull.

[CSFurious]

first, because of the slow bug the rune arm is sort of a pain right now

second, if you ran korthos, you always get thought spike

third, i have seen a rune arm as an end reward on every quest that you named so one man's bad luck is another's good luck

just relax

[Ziindarax]

If you can't find your own Rune Arm? Why not craft one?

One of the gaming sites is claiming that rune arms can be crafted.

[Letrii]

That might just be referring to being able to add bonuses to pre-existing runearms. I know of no way to actually make a runearm though.

[Grace_ana]

I ran Catacombs and STK and a runearm dropped on each, so I suspect it's just bad luck for you, not a bad drop rate.

[Crann]

3 times through Tangleroot and nothing....but a ton of xp :)

In the same boat with the bugged out Storehouse, used a toon I brought over to run straight to Redemption though.

I think this drop rate would be fine on live. It should be static on preview.

Drop rates for end rewards may not be sad, but chest loot is.

[JeffreyGator]

On the helf I completed STK, WW x2, TR, and into the deep x5 but eventually got a pea shooter.

Yay for an extra 2d4 acid damage - at level 16 I'm off to see if I can kill devils yet.

Because of the frustration I started another toon and at level 10 the WF has done
Redemption successfully, WW fail and TR x2 and has the moderate fort arm.

It will probably be better than many farms on live. I had a guildy complete Co6 8 times without a bat.

[Sleepsalot]

I just ran redemption 3 times have 3 thought spike arms and will run a few more times.. It depends what time of day or night you run the Kothos quests.. Using my level 20 FvS so quest is flagged..

Sleeps.:D :) :D

[tfangel]

Saw my only one from the korthos quest, since then, ran Catacombs, WW, and Tangleroot, and haven't seen even a hint at one. If i hadn't searched the forums to see if there are any more, i wouldn't even have thought there were. :(
