The named elites aren’t dropping their items. My understanding is that they should drop their special item 100% of the time. I’ve been killing Qiniel, Seductive Orator, over and over and she’s not dropping Qin’s Captivating Eye.
Same, but i put the one i was wearing in my storage and then it dropped…
and now the next two i killed didnt drop; anything… despite leaving the one that dropped on the ground
I’ve still not got a single Qin’s Captivating eye. I’ve literally never seen the item drop, I killed Qiniel for the first time earlier today. Since I started, I’ve killer her 50+ times and I still haven’t seen the item. I’m honestly thinking it just can’t drop at all any more.
so i went to my stash equiped the one i had in there and then put it back int eh stash and next one i killed it dropped
Next one didnt drop anything. so i went to my stash and dropped the one it dropped into my stash, and then killed her again, and nothing this time either
I think you may need to equipone then put it into the stash to get them to drop. They usually do drop 100% though still ive not gotten a ancestrial one
That’s cool, I don’t see how that’s relevant.
you dont see how more info about a bug is relevant?
That info specifically.
1: Which item are you referring to?
2: I haven’t gone to all the other elites to see if they’ll drop their item.
3: They’re supposed to drop their item every single time. Whether you have the item already or not is totally irrelevant. I’ve got multiples of some of the other ones even, even held 10 or more Mace of Blazing Fury while another one dropped.
same as you the quin eye double lucky hit off hand thingy
Mmhm. Well she’s not dropping it at all for me. No idea why. I’ve been farming her for two hours. Kill her, go to Kyovishad, switch to WT3, switch back to WT4, kill her again. The whole thing takes maybe two minutes. Not a single eye has dropped.
Again, these Elites are supposed to drop one every time. It’s not a chance, it’s guarantied. At least that’s how it worked up until the recent patch and there are no patch notes at all regarding these elites or their special items, which means this was unintended.
have you ever gotten one? because the bug im seeing is that it doesnt drop UNLESS you equip the one you most recently got from her and then put it in your stash or sell it. both seem to unlock the ability for her to drop it 100% again.
if you’ve killed her 50 times, its not going to happen. d4 seems to be trying some real weird things with their drop tables and these unique rare items from the named elites are deffinatly suposed to be 100% drop rate. and i can get it to drop 100% now which is still probably not as intended.
Also they are selling for not 1 gold which IIRC they were before lol.
No, Ive never gotten the eye. I have got many other elite specific items. Also I can confidently tell you that any pattern you think there is involving equipping, selling, dropping, or stashing the item is not real and your observations are pure coincidence.
In the patch notes it is indicated that it has been lowered to a 33% chance to drop.

Okay. I originally posted some statistsics to show it’s broken, but instead I’ll actually start counting runs now and I’ll update this every ~20 minutes with the statistical likelihood of getting what I actually get and the implied probability vs the advertised probability.
I didn’t count exactly how many times I killed her yesterday, so to be uber conservative about it (I killed her way more times than this) I’ll start the count at 20.
Attempts: 20. Expected number of eyes: 6. Actual eyes: 0. Odds of having 0 eyes: 0.03%. Implied probability of getting 1 eye: 0.05%. Advertised probability: 33%
Attempts: 30. Expected number of eyes: 9. Actual eyes: 0. Odds of having 0 eyes: 0.0006%. Implied probability of getting 1 eye: 0.03%. Advertised probability: 33%
And I finally got one. 14 attempts today and assuming I ONLY killed her 20 times yesterday (it was more like 50 at least) that’s 34 attempts.
Expected number of eyes: 11. Actual eyes: 1. Odds of having 0 eyes: 0.00012%. Implied probability of getting 1 eye: 0.029%. Advertised probability: 33%
So yeah, I must be a statistical wonder not getting a single eye for 33 attempts when the probability is 33%. For context, that’s like flipping heads 12 times in a row when all you want is a single tails.
For comparison, I’ll do the same calculation at 50 (again, I didn’t count yesterday but I was at it for hours and I would estimate my actual number attempts close to 50).
that means altogether I did 64 attempts to get an eye.
Expected number of eyes: 21. Actual eyes: 1. Odds of having 0 eyes: 0.0000000007%. Implied probability of getting 1 eye: 0.015%. Advertised probability: 33%
The odds of that happening is like flipping 30 heads in a row when all you want is a single tails.
Statistically, I can say with confidence that it’s broken. Or IDK, maybe it was broken yesterday and they fixed it today and I still got wildly unlucky.

same here, not dropping and getting sick of this game. so, i need to make sure the elite respond by getting out of the game and waiting, then i have a 33 percent chance for an item to drop, and whan it does its a power level 680. done!
