Alcem Crafting Question

[Justicesar]

Approx how long/runs does it take to grind out an Alcem item?? I'd like to know in approx time if these are guild runs(More sharing) vs. Pugs(less sharing). I getting tired of hoping for a decent randon set. Grave wrapping are good fall back but I rather make my own way and not rely on dice.

Please don't turn this into a "Your crazy it only took me xyz runs to get mine" thread. Just give me raw numbers and I'll determine if its worth it to me.

If you run epic difficulties, it won't take you that long to make a single item. You should have everything you need by your 10th completion. The difficult part for you is going to be getting your t1 fragments since unless you run heroic raids you will never see them outside of a 10th special list. On your 10th list, chances are you will need to take the Empty t1 shard.

Epic Hard, in my experience, has a very high drop rate on power cells. It also drops your t1/t2 spirits and can drop multiples for one person. The fragments you get from EH are the t3 fragments.

Epic Normal gives your t3 spirits, but it gives t2 shards.

Is there a site that has a breakdown of how many of what is needed?? I didn't see that kind of info on the DDO WIKI site.

I'm curious as it seems like alot is needed to craft these items. I was a guest to a mostly guild run last night that dumped all their ingredients off on to one guy in that guild....which is kool casue it was their run and I was just tagging along getting the lay of the land. It seems with the small amount of ingredients I received, that 10 runs for a tier 2 item will not happen. Always good to have a carrot to chase....but not holding my breath.
