Not complaining but I am in endgame and farming mats to summon tormented bosses seems painful. Not asking anything to be handed to me but would love higher drop rates for tormented boss materials and stygian stones only dropping in pits when you don’t need to do pits anymore seems like a miss?
EDIT: E.g. Killing Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint 100 times in a row seems anti-fun…to get 1 of the mats needed.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
They just did that with the most recent update.
I have been playing non stop solo since start…I had enough mats to summon maybe 10 tormented bosses and now I am back to no mats…maybe I am missing something?
EDIT: Most of the summoning mats came from my 2 level 100 characters maxing out wolf rep.
They just changed the droprate scaling in The Pit with the most recent patch. Go check out the patch notes.
Yeah…I know about the supposed increase…don’t really feel it unfortunately.
I am done with Pits as all my gear is level 12 and I can’t really upgrade anything else so locking Stygian stones in an event that people can grow out of seems incorrect?
That’s RNG.
Technically you could have a 50/50 drop chance of something and still never drop it. All you can do is keep trying.
It’s not just the Stygian stones it’s all of the other boss summoning mats. Maybe I am just the only one struggling to get enough of them?
I guess. 12 character.
I’ve found the need to do duriel is no longer there. All 3 Uber drops Ive had so far have come from other tormented bosses. 2 from Gregoire and one from beast in the ice. So the having to kill Gregoire a hundred times and varshan a 100 times to do 50 duriels is out the window.
It’s not all the mats that you’re struggling to get. It’s specifically the Stygian stones. They boosted the drop rate of them from the patch but it’s not nearly enough at this point in the season.
People have 100s of summon mats for each boss and like 10 Stygian stones.
Maybe changing summoning mats requirements…
from 6/2 to 3/1 for tormented bosses would solve the problem?
With the recent update Stygian stones drop much more frequently. Specially if you are up to farming tier 90 plus pits. The rest of the boss materials drop quite frequently from elite mobs.
The main issue I have is converting all the living steels and Varshan materials into eggs and shards. Doing one at a time is so damn tedious. I have 25 stygian stones on me which gives me 12 tormented boss summons which means I need to get 72 eggs and shards. Ain’t no way I 'm sitting here for 1 hour and summoning 144 bosses JUST to convert mats.
i have 2 full stacks of stones but thats because I am just making non stop spark alts. Its crazy how fast those stones stockpile when you zoom to rank 18 wolf rep, it almost seems even faster now!
i just dont understand why we need these stones!
why cant it just cost us 3x the mats
Gatekeeping to keep RMT players from easily running the event nonstop. Which is odd because the items being gatekept are no longer BiS anyway.
If all you do is Pit runs, boss materials will be very scarce. If you do helltides and world bosses, you will probably have so many summoning mats (aside from stones) that you will be overrun with summoning mats.
Getting the mats isn’t really the issue, it’s having to do the same boss over and over and over and over to get Duriel/Andariel mats. Really poor game design.
would be better if we could re-summon the boss without needing to leave ,reset and re-enter the area.
That being said.
for my character this season it’s not really a problem considering i could drop any kind of uber unique : i wouldn’t care about it (except shako i guess…and even still i wouldn’t be that happy about it)
They should really allow uber unique / unique to have atleast 1 temper (if not 2)
lets be real! they just buy the stones now
It’s still pretty bad after the patch I’m def not getting a stone every 5 t100 runs
