Visions of Grandeur

Heya,

For the Marsinger No. 4 quest line I have been able to get most items to drop. I am about to turn in the final piece for the caster and have the majority for healers and hybrids (the pure melee quest line I cannot speak on). However, the issue I am running into is that for hybrids the first quest line requires abhorrent powder. I have killed dozens of dozens and still have yet to find a drop. Most of the other drops seem to be common or uncommon in comparison. I am hoping this can be looked into to see if it is just extremely rare or there is an issue with the powder itself. Links below:

Hey Burdoc,

I seem to recall these only drop off the teir one area abhorrent. It’s like the drops are aligned with the tiers on the map. (Teir 1 for Marsinger 1) I have done the hybrid version and do not recall having any trouble getting this. Just a suggestion.

Very strange, drop rate looked ok, but I popped in and killed a bunch with no drops so I upped it a bit and seems to work fine now /shrug.

Control,

Woo woo, thank you! Been trying to get this for weeks.

Manaen,

That is a good point. Never thought about it like that, figured harder mobs = better chance.
