It took me weeks (or months; trying to suppress bad memories here) of doing Necro to get my first Belt of Thoughtful Remembrance. I now have three (or four, lost track) from the chain reward. The chain reward, not the chest... within what feels like five chain completions.
I dualboxed some Cannith challenges for favour today. I prefer grouping these with people so we can intelligently split up to do objectives, but it seems no one was interested. Managed to six-star a couple until I hit one of the mansion ones. All I needed was a single crest to unlock the last two objectives--unlock all doors and kill all bosses. The last crest drops from a kill. With four seconds left on the clock. I am six seconds' running time from the crest slot.
My barb had about a 60% pull rate of Shadow Phlogistons in Deathwyrm, mostly on EH. On the other hand, I decided last week I wanted a Mythic Emerald Gaze, so resigned to farm it... and pulled it try #1.
Back when heroic Abbot was the thing to do, it took 60 (Or was it 80? More suppressed memories.) completions on my main to get a Litany. This was before timer bypasses, so 60 (80?) actual chest pulls and three (four?) reward lists. That was a solid half-year... to pull one item. And then the Quiver gets upgraded with Striding, and I have to pull it from reward list after run #100. My wizard goes in there and pulls the Quiver from the chest and Litany on 20th... The same wizard farms the Seven-Fingered Gloves from Titan. Nada from the first 20. Pulls them on 39th, which is a good thing, because... they weren't on the 40th list... then she goes on the heroic TR train and pulls them again from a single favour run...
One character took three 20th lists to snag a Torc. A character I use as an opener/DQ multiboxer pulled it from a chest on her seventh run.
