The drop rates for T12 enigmatic weapons are NOT high enough! I have personally run BT well over 25 times trying to get my Twin Swords, with a good 50% of those runs NO ENIGMATIC WEAPONS DROPPED AT ALL.

Couple that with the insane que times for DPS players and the fact that the majority of people who have already go thier T12 gear are now only queing hard modes for T13 gear, it makes for a VERY unfavorable situation. As I speak there are only TWO T12 Arise and Awakes on the broker, at insane prices no less.

This, IMO is a situation that NEEDS to be addressed. Every run I do I become increasingly frustrated at the lack of drops, and I'll likely end up canceling my sub when problems like this persist. I cant possibly be the only one getting tired of this, as I have seen multiple other threads about drop rates being a problem.

Running the dungeon MORE isn't a solution...

I suggest you add a repeatable "Quest" for each endgame dungeon that takes 20 completeions to complete, upon completing this quest you get to pick ONE Enigmatic that would have dropped from that dungeon from a list of rewards. A "Full Set" would take 80 runs, which seems reasonable to me, that is assuming you didn't luck out and get your items while running it.

U beat me to it , WTF increase drop rate MY [filtered] i have done BT with my guild for 2 days back to back and not even a single lance seriously WTF, and sometimes not even weapon drop the crap of the neckpiece and a ring this is getting stupid Fix this [filtered].

working as intended. stfu

The entitlement is strong in this thread. Proceed with caution my friends.

25 times? Thats it?
I've like nonstop run bt and fok normals for like a week or 2 now and havn't gotten a SINGLE DROP.

Maybe I should make a thread too :D

I'm on board with raising drop rates. Only if they add the ability to have items break when enchanting.

What? Oh you want everyone to have the best gear in 1 week? Typical

Fane and BT both have drop rate issues.

At least in fane Kaprima pretty much always drops at least one half decent item.


All the releveled instances suffer from the same problem too a lot of work for very little reward all around.

The main reason it does concern me is eventually I think we will see some form of RAID in this game and if loot tables aren't filled up a bit more it's going to get even more ridiculously unfair.

I don't think anyone is suggesting exactly what they need should drop immediately on their first run, only that it should in fact actually drop.

The drop rates are based on the fact that the items are bind on equip. If they increase the drop rate it increases the number of said items in the game and ultimately on the AH. This would greatly impact the economics of Tera. EME wants the economy in Tera the be scarce thus making the price of items high.

The only way they would change this is by making the items Bind on Pickup, but they would have to add something else into the mix to keep the economy scarce.

...and those of us that are hardcore, it's not a problem.


Normal gamers are going to find it all but impossible to fully gear up in this game.

Which means that EME needs to change their game to appeal to a wider audience or accept that their piece of the MMO pie will be very small. The hardcore group is very small and typically they are the ones who get burnt out first.
