Black Widow Bracers Trouble

[Cripplemronion]

Okay, I've run WW 10 times now. I've mastered it: I can go start to finish - all four quests - in 20 minutes at level 4. I've become this pointlessly good because I wanted the Black Widow Bracers. However, after having run WW 10 times, they've never been offered. Am I doing something wrong or is this just incredibly bad luck? Does the drop have anything to do with the two possible named black widows both appearing? I've killed them both, but they've never both spawned. This has gone far beyond frustrating.

Update: 14 times now, and still nothing. Argh argh argh argh argh.

Sorry bud, just incredibly bad luck.

[Vizzini]

Nope nothing wrong, I'm having the same problem with Tangleroot and the Crimson Gemstone on my Sorc. It's a little more difficult than Waterworks to solo ¬.¬

12 runs and counting with no crimson gemstone. Just keep trying it can only hold out for so long!

Are you a monk? Try un-ticking the "end reward based on class" box. Hell, try un-ticking it whatever class you are. Might do the trick.

[Lithic]

monks are apparently programed NEVER to get those bracers. No monk I have ever met on argo ever got them in their first 6 runs.

[Vardak]

As a rule, semi-static end rewards are determined in an inverse relationship to the utility provided multiplied by the players desire. So, if the particular item is truly useful and desired you are likely never going to be offered that particular item.

I guess it's because im from kyhber that im lucky're then thouse on argo, I got it on my 6th run.
Achtung.

I ran it 3 times...normal, hard, elite. No bracers for me either. I will not go back in there. Mage Armor pots/clickies give the same +4 armor bonus, last 6 minutes, and are incredibly cheap. When you get House P buffs, you can get a 30 minute Mage Armor buff cast on you. Besides, then you are free to use your bracer slot for something else.

Zyndri got them first run .

Too bad I can't have that luck with the bloodstone .

Well on ghallanda I got them my first run on 2 seperate monks

Hmmm, I didnt get the BW bracers. I got (un-named) Prot +4 bracers. min lvl 5 (i think). I don't have the class based endrewards checked.

Good luck.

please go buy some mage armor potions or get a clickie with all of that gold you accumulated on all of those ww runs

Just bad luck, like the other post, got mine first run.

My Barbarian ran Deleras 9 times to get Carnifex, but is holding 2 Misery's Web trinkets.

Go figure.

First run of WW as a level 2 Monk, I got the bracers. Second run on hard, got the bracers offered. So I guess it's just bad luck.

[llevenbaxx]

Yeah I got boned on the bracers too. Four runs, norm to elite then elite again and no bracers. Fortunately I did pick up a nice Mage Armor clickie along the way, not quite as nice but good enough for when my house P buffs wear off. Have +6 & 7 bracers waiting for later levels though, so not such a big deal i guess.

[Talon_Moonshadow]

I can confirm that they still drop.

My Ftr was offered them just the other day...........as if they would go well with my Mithral Full Plate.

OK, this is a total n00b question, but where do I find the "end rewards based on class" box?

Options --> Game Play (if I remember correctly)

Toggling this off does not increase your chance at the bracers. Quests with semi static loot like WW, CO6 and others don't draw upon the class to determine end rewards.

My first monk pulled it the first time, my 2nd monk, the 24th time... And to the op, after the 15th-16th run, you'll be able to do the whole WW chain in about 13-14 minutes, including the running time between part 2 and 3. Last time i did it, if we add the minutes i got out of each part, i did it in 9 minutes + about 1-2 minutes of running, shrining. I was really frustrated, but since my monk was all about AC, and i didnt want to buy 1 minute mage armor pots, i had to get them.....took me alot of runs tho.
