I've been farming this dungeon last week. After 25 runs on HM, the first Bone Dragon Staff is yet to drop from Fenji's chest for me. I'm wondering now what the chance is of getting one. Got two suntouched staves, but the drope rate is prolly higher than that of a BDS.

Have you been farming this dungeon and if so can you tell me something about your drop rate concerning a BDS? Thanks for the info.

Ive done over 300 runs myself, and have only seen 2 drop. The drop rate is extremely low, hence why they are still fairly expensive.

Honestly its more luck based than anything else
Did quite a few runs in SoO but never got one. Friend of mine did the Dungeon in HM with Heroes for his Title and directly got a q12 resto on his first attempt.

Is That Your Build[HaHa]

P/W

If you keep doing the same run over and over, you going to activate anti-farm code. Anet states it doesnt exist, but can be witnessed by entering the same area over and over, you watch you drops slowly diminish from gold and purples to nothing but whites..not even a blue..oh and also every time you open a hm chest..its a grape.

If you want to maximize your odds of getting a BDS from this chest, break up your runs..do a HM Book, do some Missions..and when golds start dropping for you again..then go hit the dungeon.

After doing 50+ runs I haven't gotten one, and I don't expect one for at least another 100 runs; that's how low the drop rates are :P

My monk has achieved rank 10 delver (from rank 0) by only running SoO and has never gotten a BDS.
I'm fairly certain that's way over 100 runs and if not it sure feels like it.

It is possible to farm the BDS. I've done maybe 10 SoO runs at most over the last 2 months (didn't really start dungeon running til then). Out of which I've had 2 Suntouched Staffs (r9 divine & r12 soul) & 2 Bone Dragon Staffs (r12 soul & q12 blood) drop for me.

Heh, I think I will try one of the Shards runs, anyone know how much these will cost to run or perhaps a build for it? Just out of my personal curiosity...

around 50 runs q12 soul reaping and q13 divine for me and a q10 fire(or maybe energy storage) for someone else, however, at same time around 30 runs for Kathandrax pulled q13 eblade and a q10 eblade (now caster modded for myself) and saw 1 other drop. Maybe I'm just lucky...
