Reaver worth of doing?

[Vellrad]

After I done a lot of leet reavers, I noticed that everyone got all the loot piceces they want, so they're putting everything on roll.
I never saw a single +3 or even +2 tome, nor in chest, nor on 20th list.
So I wonder, if they drop at all, and is there any point of continuing running this raid over and over?

[Tinco]

I pulled a +3 tome not long ago but they seem to be really rare. For the time it takes I'd say it's worth it.

Sad as it may sound, Reaver is my main source of +3 tomes lol (well, other than Shroud if I don't need a cleanser). Must have pulled at least 4-5 there, not counting end-rewards.

this makes me sad, in my almost 2 years of playtime, i've only ever looted 2 +2 tomes from a chest, rest were bought or traded for. :/

guess I need to start running reavers. Ive gotten 20 completions in the shroud 3 times and never seen any +3 tomes.

Not to mention you can solo this easily on normal for the same chance at +3 tomes. Unlike VoD or HoX which do not drop them on normal.

Now of course you can do elite simply for the + to random loot, but it seems quicker to just do normal.

If you are looking for loot, your odds are probably in group, which tend to do elite anyway.

BTW. Pulled +3 dex tome on normal once, but that is it. Only ~50-60 completions total for me though

[LightInDark]

Pulled +3 dex tome from the chest , have never made it to 20 completions to see a list for this raid

Friend of mine pulled a + 3 wisdom from a normal run we were short manning

[ThePrincipal]

out of a dozen or so runs I pulled 2 madstone shields. i also won a roll for a +3 wis tome. fortunately i was on my cleric which worked our deliciously.

So when people put up the LFM "Piker's Fate" or "Need Pikers," do the raid leaders really expect other players joining to sit back and do nothing whatsoever?

I know it's an easy raid, but that seems almost too good to be true.

I've always been tempted to join those...

My usual reaver's LFM:

'Pikereaver blablabla need tank/solver blablabla need more pikers blablabla'

And first question is: 'So who volounteers for tanking?'
There is always someone who wants to tank, and other 11 (me included) are piking somewhere, usually waking up at end to DPS boss and take care of the air eles at end.

Then gj on tanking, gj on solving, gl on loot, **** no loot owrth of mentioning, ty for joining cya take care.

And exactly the same story after 3 days.

Thats why I don't kike this raid.

No, I would expect them to pull air elementals to their corner and kill them. They can stand there and do nothing if there are no air elementals up.

My 60th shroud, yay!

Also I have over 350 raid completions, at 15 20ths total... haven't pulled single +3 strength, con or intelligence tome. All charisma, dexterity and wisdom.

[Sarisa]

They do drop, they're just rare due to how easy Reavers is. I've had a +3 int appear in my 20th, 40th, and 60th (but nothing in my 80th), along with pulling 3 +3 DEX, 3 +3 WIS, and 1 +3 CON tome in my 92 or so completions on my main character. I put all but the first +3 WIS tome up for roll.

That said, Reavers Fate is 10-15 minutes for 4 chests and an end reward, so it's a fairly quick, easy, and good source of crafting/decon materials and plat.

This. Deconstruction, and plat. It only takes 15 minutes usually, and you can always use more plat. Think of the small chance of a tome as a BONUS, if ur lucky enough to get one.

It's a low level quest. We have previously been told the chance of a +2/+3 tome dropping is roughly 1%

There are however some good items in that quest. Madstone boots being the most in demand, but the shield isn't half bad either. Prior to the nerf, Dreamspitter used to be a solid weapon, it not as useful, but its also not half bad in that it is one of the few weapons in the game that will bypass DR in Dreaming Dark. The head of good fortune is still a nice trinket for the luck bonus. When run "at level" the XP isn't bad considering how easy the raid is.

A lot of the items are now quite dated and thus are freely passed, but they can still be useful on specific builds.
