Well.. I seem to be on a huge bad luck streak too, if it's any consolation.. I've
got 1 lockpick after hours of farming in several places.. even worse than normal
drop rate.

Simply its 'only' x3 chance i farmed HM raptors alot on GW birthday for cup cakes. And i only got 5 i know because i decided to buy a stack and work on the title. So 5x3=15 and i farmed for about 24 hours over the weekend...

I suggest do not farm for lock picks just do Hard mode missions Dungeons etc

considering Lockpicks are lootscaled, and three times a very low number is still a very low number, powerfarming Raptors for Picks probably isn't worth it. i'd just use this weekend to do profitable farms in HM, or some vanquishing / HM missions. make some money or progress in a title, while gaining this weekend's benefit.

i think A-Net secretly made it 3x less chance of lockpicks dropping from every monster.
they tried to screw us over lol

I've gotten about 5 from NM raptor farming, out of about 50 runs so far

i got me 1, but then lockpick drop rate is very low usually, so it's 3x higher, but that's still very low. bad luck is all.
