E/Me Plains Of Jarin HM

What monster does exactly drop the Icy/Fiery Blade Axes? Since i have done about ~50 runs there now and still no Blade Axe. I was about to ask the same thing, so I decided to kill verything I can in the zone... Got 2 icy blade axe drops in the same run from stormseed jacarandas.

I don't know if other monsters in the zone drop them, if their drop rate is higher, or if I just got lucky, but the only blade axes I got came from jacarandas.

What monster does exactly drop the Icy/Fiery Blade Axes? Since i have done about ~50 runs there now and still no Blade Axe. Well, just about anything in the zone can drop them, that would seem to be the general concensus from everyone who has posted here. As for the droprate, well, it's not massively high, so it'll take a bit of plain old fashioned luck. The sheer percentage chance of getting a gold drop from any given enemy seems quite high, but as with anything that relies on probability, you can still have a negative result a thousand times over if you're unlucky.

In other news, this run has scored me my collector of wisdom title (r2)

Heheh, only 299 more for r3 (thats 150 runs if we say 2 golds on avg per run @ 20 minutes per run tops. 50 hours ) Ah, what can I do, I've already wasted 2500 playin this game, what harm's another 50 gonna do?

Repeated map entry no longer reduces loot. Now, theres a few ways this can be interpreted.

1: It's a bare faced lie - the common belief of much of the player base.
2: It's actually true - just accept it for what it is.
3: It is the truth, but it is not the only thing that governs droprate. - the belief that this may well work in a similar way to the unlocked chests in Elona.

Allow me to explain. The unlocked chests are now fairly common knowledge amongst the player base and having been in the game for some time now have been subject to no small amount of observation. What is known is that they refill approximately every 30 days and that for each one you open, the chances of getting a gold item or gem over a purple decreases. Now going back to the refill rate, it has also been observed that it can take much longer than 30 days for them to refill for some characters and that generally speaking, these characters are the most played on a given account.

My experiences reflect this - on my primary account I have a grand total of 19 characters, 2 of which are mules. Now, predictably, only 5 or 6 of these actually get played and even then I tend to stick to one character at a time. My experiences have been that for my less played characters, the chests have refilled every 30 days on the dot. As for my more played characters, chests have refilled, but the drops have got progressively worse. And then there's Rena, my first and most important character. The chests have not refilled at all for her since February. I've certainly played as her almost constantly the past month or two, so that would correlate with the evidence given on the subject already. So maybe droprate works a similar way? So if drops start to suck, switch to another character and the drops might be better.

I really don't know if this works or not, if it's true or no. It's as I said, just pure speculation on my part, though I'm now motivated to test this for myself. If anyone else wants to try this and offer their opinion, that'd be very useful to all concerned, I'm sure. I'm going to take a neutral stance on droprate myself, at least until it's been analysed further. So no calling me a conspiracy theorist, ok?

hmmmm did anyone ever tried arcane echo, echo and silver armor? why waste all that energy? Just use glyph of renewal, with 16 in earth, and 20% enchant mod, it can be kept up for the majority of the time, and doesn't waste a ton of energy like echo and arcane echo would.
