Sry, not sure where this goes exactly. Would like a rant but no need for that and it's not a bug.
Not long ago I discovered that I runic toolkits had some value and I liked using them. Dyerseve and I must have done about 15 platinum elementals and I think we got 4 plat runic toolkits and the rest were plat runic smithy hammers. Fair enough, I died a lot and lost tons of fame but it was worth it. That was 2 weeks ago at least, maybe 3 or 4.
The other day I got Damien to help me do some more and we got two runic toolkits compared to maybe 10 or more runic smithy hammers. The odds for a toolkit seemed to be lower. Today I did the lower level agapite, verite and valorite elementals solo. After 14 elementals, I have ZERO runic toolkits. I got all smithy hammers. I know something about statistics and that is near impossible to chalk up to just bad luck.[Edit: For clarity; I did not mean bad luck as in +Luck items here but more like flipping a coin and getting heads 14 times in a row] I can understand if it is intentional to give fewer toolkits than hammers but this goes beyond that I think. On the surface it seems as if anything lower than Platinum is rare.
Can you folks (staff) tinker (pun intended) with drop rates? I'm curious as to why things seem so skewed.
