A gold max req. strength shield with at least one mod - never had one drop for me, from a mob or a chest.

I hold faith that it will happen someday. I finally, after 2+ years of playing, had a black dye drop for me for the very first time just a few weeks ago; the shield shouldn't be too far away... only maybe another year or so.

Sup Vigor - I don't even remember when I've seen one drop.
Until Gwen I'd never see Black Dye... now I've seen 3-4.

You can get destroyer cores easily by doing the "glint" challenge missions at the last outpost before the final boss in EOTN.

20% Forget Me Not inscription.
found ZERO, none.
In 3500+ Nightfall/EotN chests opened, 2500+ inscribable golds identified. (there were 3 19% ones though)
It's the only mod i've been buying for own use this year.

You mean the dead sword? I never really liked that skin, so I never tried farming it until someone said it was good money, still only tried twice

I've never had a gothic axe or dual gothic axe drop. Or a max gothic sword, I had to buy a 14^50 sword for my warrior. I've been one of the lucky people with shards, getting 5 in a run. Ecto's seem to run from me though. Yeah, anything I want, seems to stay away from me.

Decent gold Bo Staffs (their simplicity makes them one of my favourite skins).

I've been obsessively farming the Luxon Assassins for months and months now, and you'd think with the amount of white ones that drop, I might have got a gold or purple that was at least good enough for hero as opposed to merchant fodder... but no.

Same goes with swords. There are so many cool skins that could drop or pop out of those Luxon locked chests: Oni Blade, Jitte, Katana, Shinobi Blade, Platinum Blade, Brute Sword, Wingblade, Flamberge... All I ever get are cruddy Falchions, Gladiuses and Fiery Dragon Swords.

I do very well with Sup Vigor drops though, I have to admit.

Golden Rin Relics. I hate them with a deep fiery loathing, but I simply don't get any. Nor do many other people from what I can tell, as their drop rate is frankly insane.

After hundreds of runs through FoW I never got a gold worth anything.. I mean c'mon.. I spent maybe 250k on Obsidian keys and maybe got 30k worth of drop from those chests.. meanwhile people we're getting perfect Chaos Axes, etc...

For me it has to be black dyes and ectos. Not the most common things, but I have had a grand total of 1 black dye and 0 (thats right, count 'em zero). I have done ToPK BP groups dozens of times and have never had the magical ecto drop for me. I have been playing since about 4 months (I think) after release, and only ever gotten 1 of these puppies. Think it was somewhere in Nightfall. Wheras my cousin got 2 in pre-sear in 2days with 1 character. Oh well....

As for rare skins.... nothing under req 10, and heaven forbid it should be 15^50

I think I have a grand total of 2 Green Drops from normal PVEing (dungeon runs and ToPK dont count)

Greens from any Elite mission.

The number of times I've succeeded in the Deep, Warren or even ToPK and gotten nothing at the end (where other, luckier individuals score multiple rewards!) frustrates me to no end. Especially Deep and Tombs, where the mission takes considerable time to get to the end.

For me it's like this . . . you come across a collector who has something really choice to trade for X. Well damned if X never drops.

Also, I get an insane amount of what would probably be really awesome hammers drop - though I don't run a hammer warrior and have no desire to. That or stuff for classes which I don't play/don't have that type of hero (until recently it was Ritualist stuff - till I got Xandra - now it's all paragon junk).

I've gotten one black dye in two years, and that was in pre-searing on my first character which I promptly applied to a scimitar I was using on my ranger! Yeah, I know, silly me!

I've done Cathedral of Flames at least 5 times, always got a crappy Air Wand (I got it THREE times! that's not normal!!) or a, wowawawh, Gold Hammer. Murakai could give me her sword... But noooo, let's give that stupid Mesmer that kept me knocked down for 75% of time a lame caster weapon with just 15^stance inscription, so he can wand to death using Frenzy...

I spent three days hunting for 3 Skull Jujus for a collector item and Never got One. I had to buy everyone of them at a k each. This is farming them with my ele and One Hero healer. I am supposed to believe that for three days the healer recieved all purple, gold, and collectable drops. All I got out of it was a pathetic few worthless blues, a slightly higher amount of whites and enough gold to buy the item from others.

But in general - I have Never had a single useful drop of a skin I would enjoy that has acceptable stats. Not in two years.

Since starting this thread, specifically citing the Guardian mosses, I've gotten 2 or 3 of them. lol

^^ Fitz, I feel your pain. Once I needed 5 Kirin horns for some off-hand from the collector just outside Unwaking Waters (Lux side). Not just any Kirin horns, but the Kirins on that map (who knew that Lux Kirins - and Onis - are different from Kurz ones?) Took me 3 or 4 days to get them.

For me, it would have to be Guardian Mosses.

When Factions came out and I made a 'sin, I was excited to come across the collector in Pongmei Valley (by the gate to Boreas) offering 15^50 daggers in exchange for 2 Mosses. How hard could that be to get? The fact that he only wanted 2, rather than the standard 5, should have been the tip-off.

Well, to date, I have gotten a grand total (including the two I eventually traded for the daggers) of eleven. I've actually gotten (several) more black dyes than I have these Mosses.

What's your elusive drop?

Edit by Malice - Using italics/bold etc in thread titles doesn't work.
Funny you mentioned Guardian Mosses. Even to date, I still haven't got my second one

The Djinn Essences are also pretty hard to get. I still haven't got my first five of any kind of Djinn essences, considering how many of those I must have killed while grinding that stupid Lightbringer points so I can even get into a group.

This thread is actually making me feel better. I've never had real problems getting collector drops, dyes, or sup runes.

My only problem is I seldom get greens, maybe 4-5 a year from boss kills and usually ones like Foulfist's Focus, that no one wants.
