I haven't seen a vigor rune on a drop in months. Last one was probably back in 2007. Did they get removed from loot?

I haven't had one ever drop for me, minor, major, or superior, but I know they still do.

Vendored more then I can count over the last few weeks due to event farming. You're just unlucky.

I'd not had one in ages, then got a minor, major and sup on one run, and another 2 sups within 7 days. It is most definitely down to luck, but if they had stopped dropping or even the rate nerfed then the prices would rocket, which at 13k sale to rune trader they are far more common than they used to be

It happens.......you don't get any for a long time, then all of a sudden, you get a bunch.

As others have said, they still drop. Maybe you're just going through an unlucky streak. >.<

You guys are lucky...
Over two years of playing and I've never got a superior vigor. I've gotten less than a dozen major or minor vigors.

i've gotten a total of

1 sup vigor rune
1 major vigor rune
1 minor vigor rune

this comes with about 2 and a 1/2 years of playing

imo there supposed to be rare and the sup ones are only worth like 15k now
i would've like one when they were worth 100k....

They are random drops. This means that you have a random chance of getting one each time a monster drops an item. You also have a random chance of getting a few hundred (thousand?) other items as well.

Note how often I used the word RANDOM.

Nothing has changed.

I've been playing 7 months, and have only gotten a major vigor rune once, no minors and no superiors.

This has become a +1 thread for people to say "I got one today". So I'll get my +1 before a mod closes this.

Random, gotta love when people expect random to be predictable.
