Ectos gone from the game?
xChaoSx
anytime im in UW i never ever see Ectos drop anymore and now im seeing them gone from the dealers..what is the deal?
Plommon
well in the UW case they rarely drop at all whuch is why they sometimes are priced at 17k each 
Sithlord of Death
I have gone to the UW only 2 times and in those 2 times my parties died very quickly but I still say 3 ectos drop. They seem to be dropping often... I mean the first guy my group killed dropped one... And on my other group I think we killed a total of maybe 6 guys before we all died and still 2 ectos dropped then. Sadly I have not be then one to get those

I find the ectos only drop in full groups of 8, and in which case the party member least deserving always gets them.
I haven't seen one drop in a long time. I've gotten 41 Shards to 5 Ecto, and the number of trips to the UW far outweigh the FoW. Plus, one of those Ecto came from the FoW!
Frustrating.

where in FOW did the Ecto drop? and why arent any ectos at traders?

Ecto's don't drop in FoW, Obsidian Shards drop there.

they drop alot less than the figures you guys are posting.
i solo the UW and it still very rare for one to drop. i have found 1 in the past 2 days farming UW.

u guys did not read the updates did u. When a person zone into one area repeatedly the drops gets fewer and fewer. this was anets way to prevent farming.
i do smite runs in UW and i get an ecto maybe every other run.

actually ecto's can drop anywhere. they are just more common in UW, i have got one in the kryta mission and one in black curtain before, both from weak monsters

Personally i think they made the items more rare, so the prizes on stuff would get lowered (OMG 200k items! :S) - There is a reason why you cant trade more than 100k at the time! It was never attented.
Etc. golden items are rarely to find too imo

Actually heres what it says in the strategy guide ( I've tested
most of these and they do work once in a while )

*Nightmares and spirits can drop Globs of Ectoplasm **phantasmal armor ( monster armor ) if salvaged with expert salvage kit, it can become Globs of Ectoplasm *** some collectibles can be also expert salvaged for Globs of Ectoplasm: Ancient eyes, Demonic Remains, Ghostly Remains, Phantom Residue, Shadowy Remnants and Shriveled eyes |
so there is more ways then listed in this Quote.

really do any of the quest ( except the first one, since we need to
do it to open the doors ) we just go there for loot. ( kill all the
monsters we can possibly find. And we normaly all get 1 or 2 ecto
each on average.

damn it hard to find ecto and gold item these days

Well, I used expert salvage kit to 193 demonic remains and got only glittering dust. Must be ultra rare to get ecto from them or it is just BS?

Unless something has changed in the last 24 hours, I've seen ectos in the game.
I solo smite runs regularly now, and in a 3-4 hour period I had 4 ecto's drop. They came from the Aatxes, smite crawlers and...whatever those flying octopuses are >< (can't recall the name for the life of me).
17k for one though? I couldn't get more than 9k for mine. What districts are you guys trading them in? :P

Did a 3 person UW run last night and we got 3 ectos between us.

where do you find phantasmal armor?

ectos drop more to the East in the underworld. Meaning you have to actually be strong enough and have a good enough party to survive more then 3 minutes in the underworld. Clear an area BEFORE talking to a spirit for rewards or quests. Then ONLY after the area is completely clear talk to them. You will Last lots longer that way. the Underworld is big. but the fissure of woe is much bigger. I get better weapon drops in there, but for materials underworld is best. I think the reason the ectoplasm vanished from teh trader is cause people were abusing it and driving the price so high it was not practical to keep at a trader. the people responsible for this are the ones that hoarded all the ectoplasm and have been selling then for 30k a piece. which was ridiculous. I would expect they are going to more that ability to buy ecto and shards into the underworld or fissure areas from a trader NPC down there. that way its not as easy to drive the price up and hoard the materials.
