Weapon Drop Rate Nerf'd?

Post by Peach »

Hey, this is mostly towards Col but happy to hear anyone elses experience. Ive done over 300 Mel runs now and the best drop ive got are a 3x46 with dispel and a 3x46 with dispel -.-. is that normal? i dont see any weapons worth levelling for sale at TC and the ones that are worth doing are priced at hundreds/thousands of ED and need skin changing. Is Lady Mel just a bad place to farm weapons? Am i just really unlucky? Are the droprates too low? Did they get nerf'd at some point? Id really like to go out and farm my own weapons but 300 runs and not even a sniff at anything remotely good is kinda putting me off.

Thanks.

Lady Mel is as good as any peerless to hunt for weapons. I normally do travesty. When you're up to a couple of thousand runs, then the pain starts to really bite...

Keep trying, they do drop. 300 runs isn't that many for peerless slaying... I believe the drop rate was nerfd but that was over a decade ago (correct me if I'm wrong +c).

If they dropped like crazy there wouldn't be so much value in it :)
You spend a lot of time there but you get a lot in return once you make it.

Unless it has hit dispel ofc :lool:
