So I am working on my third Emp key.
The camp for this key is probably the worst part of leveling up a character. The pouch and Idol are fairly simple camps. Commander Zazuzh is semi common and his drop is semi common, so he isnt that bad. The pouch from the taskmaster is probably the easiest part. But the final 2 items the ring from Commander Zerozsh is a long camp. I have spent 3 hours today camping him and he does not spawn often, and of the 4 spawns I got, none dropped the ring. I am not sure the goals of this key is meant to be this long of a camp.
During the same time, someone else ahs been camping the insignia up by the Emporer portal and has had similar results, infrequent named spawns and no insignia drops.
I think this is something you might want to address, I dont mind the drop being uncommon, but making the drop uncommon on an uncommon mob spawn and it ends up being pretty rare and a huge time sink.

Were you only camping one spot that he could spawn in?
There are multiple.
As for the insignia, yeah it's not as often as the others.

Ya, Been roaming quite a bit, This isn't my first trip.

This has been the same for all three of my keys. This thing is just a huge pain in the butt. I don't mind it being tough, but it is just a long boring camp hoping for a spawn then hoping the spawn has the drop.

I guess the plus side is my nooby warrior has gained 20 aas so far camping this. Sigh...

It's a high math variance quest. It took me less than an hour on one alt, then 2 days on the next. Kinda like a box of chocolates, never know what your gonna get!

It never hurts to ask. Warrior has the key now, it is just a brutal boring godawful terrible boring camp.

Correct, never hurts to ask. I posted something something similar after clearing all of the TaskMasters and having no pouches drop. Would be nice to have the needed piece drop all the time, but at the same time that would bottleneck ToV rather quickly.

Maybe make com1 and 2 easyer? Insignia unchanged and pouch more rare? This would balance out people camping the zone at the same time. Usually bottlenecks with com 1 and 2.

Yes the fabled Emp Key. Need to look at it like this : you are not forced to collect Lucid Shards

Seriously, i dont mind making it drop the Ring more often. I'll check it out.
