[FIXED] Drop Rate: Icy Emblems

Just a request to reconsider the drop rate of these little buggers. Cleared Icewell 7 or 8 times without even one. Great for sticking around I guess helping those that need anvils, but just doesn't seem in line with the rest of the server from an anti-grind stand point. Just a smidget increase perhaps?

It's 3% chance from any mob in the zone, not that bad really, just a matter of luck as always.

basicaly , when you have 3 icy emblem and look for the 4th one, you will clear the zone 117 times.
and on the last pull , you will find out 7 icy emblem on the same corps.
True story

I always had really good luck down the well in the bottom of the zone. Most times would have them pretty fast.

Well see there Lillu, therein lies the problem, in case you didn't know, my luck 'suxxors'. <grin>

As for clearing it 117 times for the fourth, I'll be content just to get the FIRST for one of the five that I'm working on the 2.0 for. o.O
/rant off though
I think emu's rand is fussing with me, maybe...today, will be a better day. heh

Yeah I hate those things, I just did a 2.0 for my Zerker, and spent more time killing for that last one, then I spent doing the entire quest, but I guess on the plus side Dain popped while I was farming so I was able to get 6 people and Anvil. Needless to say there a headache, and i still got 1 toon that needs a 2.0 that ive been neglecting for the longest time because of the emblems

Let's try this, negotiate (even though I have no weight or power, mind you this is just to say I tried).
6% chance?

Sorry but no plans to change the drop chance. It's intended to be a rare drop.

I've never had issues with these. I always clear the "basement" of the zone and it usually takes 5-10 clearings to get all 4 and I've done this quest approx. 20 times. Time to play the lottery!
