For the wurm challenge mission I just got the 60 points to open up all doors then went searching for lost souls. Use tunnel skill to keep a healthy distance away from chasing the Maddended things. I was doing this as a warrior so equiped running skills. Theres a nice area where you can run from one end to the other and jump in a new wurm whilst still be chased. If you can just before you get in the wurm activate "Charge!" as this stance isnt removed once you get in the wurm.
Carry on going in circles on the look out for lost souls.

So far in the Inlet Mission I'm getting nothing to drop at all anymore. I've already gotten 4 stolen sun spear armors and after that nothing since

I have probably killed about 15 Guild Lords so far, and nothing has dropped for me... sad

This could be my rotten luck perhaps but right now I'm averaging 4 guild lords and around 70 or 80 for a score which I consider pretty good since it's just me, heros and henchies. With getting 4 guild lords on run and doing 4 runs I've scored zip. Is there in fact a limit or can someone prove me wrong and say it's just bad luck ?

I did notice though that the very first runs I was making seemed to land the stolen sunspear armor rather quickly. Perhaps there is a hidden chance added on your first few times through ? My Warrior character have already gotten all five armor for the heroes, and I still get drops once in a while. However, the drop rate does seem to decrease the more you get, and they do specifically tell us there's a limit of how many can drop per character.
My average run with heroes n' hench are 5 GL, and around 95-100 points.

I can say from experience though that the first few runs through seem to have a higher chance for the drop rate and after I hit set number 4 of Stolen Sun Spear Armor all bets were off

Heh, I don't really care what my heroes look like, all I care is how my character looks, so I'd rather just sell the drops.

I've been going like mad through this mission, and can get all 4 areas open but damned if I've ever SEEN a lost soul. Someone said the screen will update to let you know there is a lost soul, but I've never seen that either. I just haven't seen any. I'm sad, but not sure why? The armor is for looks! lol so I guess I'm sad because I get frustrated for no real good reason.

There is a map in the first post. When a Lost Soul spawns, it stays in the same location until you kill her, so just loop around checking the spawn points.

I consistantly get two armor remnants each run in the Ruins challenge mission playing the Pac-Man game (and never been a Pac-Man fan either). So far i've gotten all 4 for my heroes, 4 for my wife's, and 4 extra ones. My score is consistantly between 100-150 and always find 2 remnants in my inv when the mission is over. Of the points I score, the first 45-60 is the infestations and the rest are Lost Souls purely so the chances are increased for them (at least so it would seem).

If there is a limit for the number you can get, could it be per account in some manner or did A-net strictly say per character?

Per character I would imagine.

Points don't affect chances of armor drops. After 3-4 armors, the chances start to drop off until it takes you days to get armors. Otherwise there isn't an actual limit.

Followed Savio's guide for Wurm challenge mission and like to say nice guide. But, the Lost Souls hate me >.>. Killed 15+ on my first real attempt hade never gotten an armor from there before scored 250+ points from just killing Lost Souls and Infestations but not one ghostly dropped me a armor >.> Anyone else have such bad luck or maybe they nerfed drop rate?

hhhmm, got 4 SSA pretty quickly at Dajkah Inlet (in 1st 2-3 runs) after doing a couple of runs, probs 6 or so, with heroes and hench.
I am getting to the 1st island again too, so been killing 5 GL's in a run but after 4 SSA drops it has seriously died down. Just need to kit out Jin

Also got about 4 AAR very quickly at Remains (about 3-4 runs or so), scored over 200, it just takes so damn long... havent gone out again.
Sold 3 AAR's for 25K each. Kitted out Zhed.

Haven't tried the Shadow Nexus challenge yet. Will be soon

The rules seem to have changed for Sahlahja... I only had 61 points and not a single Lost Soul killed, yet I had an Ancient Armor Remnant. I'm not sure what triggered it though, so I'll have to go back and play around a bit.

Yeah, me and a guildie checked out Sahlahja to see if the rules were changed...

Sure enough. Apparantly, just killing Maddened Spirits will give you an armor now! It wasn't dropping at all until I opened all four doors... but after that, almost every Spirit I killed, I was getting one.
Just got FIVE in one run, at score of 125. Not a single Lost Soul killed either.
Suddenly this mission has turned into the easiest challenge mission out of the three to acquire armor

Guess I'll have to try Sahlahja again, since I have yet to get any armor there... Granted I was just trying to map so I just beat stuff up and then ran (wasn't even looking for Lost Souls)
