I used to get a bunch of these on dropped items...I haven't seen them for a couple of months now! Did Anet do something to the 'measure for measure' inscriptions?

Short answer is no. But I cant see how youve been getting them for months.

I get them all the time...Even more so the last week actually :\

Also theres a very good reason you haven't seen these for months, since they were only added to the game on November 7th - just alittle over 1 month ago

I have no trouble finding them. I suppose you've been unlucky, although there are worse things to be unlucky with than that particular inscription. :P

Is there a particular region where they seem more likely found (from drops)?

I seem to find them more often early in the game, particularly Istan. I can't be certain though, it might be completely random. I believe inscriptions might be random with area or level of enemy having no influence on which type you get, and since you could steamroll through Istan and kill a lot more enemies than you could in a high-level area, you'll probably find more blues and purples, thus increasing your chance to find M2M. That or just buy them from people, I can't imagine them being particularly expensive.

Thanks Muk I have an ele to get through Istan, so that'll be a good chance to try it out and see if I can get a few of MfM inscriptions.

I farm the Spiders outside of Rilogn Refuge (that ones that spawn with Fastfoot) and I'd say I get 2-3 of them atleast before I break to prevent farmcode.

Same here, but from a few weeks back ><

I wonder if measure for measure is inscribable to a djiin essence.

Farmed in Istan yesterday with my sorta new ele...no MfM. If I didn't know better, I'd think I held the "Unlucky" title...ROTFL.

I think I have about 10 of these sitting on one of my mule characters. I found most of these while working on my cartography title. Of course, now that I have a ton of these inscriptions, I can't find any inscribable jeweled weapons to apply them to. So no rubies or sapphires for me.

I'm confused here, I just got a set of jewelled daggers with the measure for measure inscription on them. How do I use that to salvage a jewel?

Ok, I finally got a few while levelling my ele on Istan...and one in Kourna from a chest

But...I can't use them. I tried applying them to everything from djiin essences to salvage items to weapons...and I can't apply it. Gave one to a friend of mine who got some ruby daggers, and he couldn't apply it either.

What am I doing wrong?

Did it ever occur to you "Measure for Measure" is an "inscription" meant to be use ONLY on "inscribable" weapons?

Wow, just managed to get 120 (!) Piles of Glittering Dust out of a Wooden Boar Scepter, just look:

Is this a record or is this considered to be normal?
