Multiple mages, including myself, have spent hours trying to farm the scroll for the weapon quest from the frost giants but they’re not dropping the scroll. It seems like the drop rate is set way way way too low, considering the these elites spawn very slowly, and there’s not a large number of them to begin with.
This is currently a massive bottleneck for this quest. Please consider buffing the drop rate or fixing it.
P.S. What a horribly toxic quest. It’s a 5 minute corpse run back, and after spending probably 3 hours trying to get this stupid thing to drop I’ve spent at least 40 minutes running back after being ganked. Thanks for this lovely experience, enjoying the crap out of this particular “discovery.”
Agreed all 4 mages need their scroll.
But in all seriousness the drop needs to be buffed to at least 10-20% the grind for some of these is just insanely low droprate not actual difficulty or challenging
Seems like this whole quest line is quite buggy. Can anyone confirm that farming these giants actually results in a scroll eventually? I’ve seen mention that if it doesn’t drop right away to abandon and re-try, as well as to kill the giants for the scroll before you kill the cryomancer. I don’t want to farm these things for hours if it’s pointless.
Edit: I abandoned the quest, picked it back up in Everlook, and then went to kill giants first. 3rd kill dropped the scroll, before I attacked the frost stone or killed the cryomancer.
We had 4 mages farming last night.
I dropped group, abandoned the quest and deleted the crystal
Went back after accepting again killed my first giant solo and it dropped
Then i went onto the next part and no imps were spawning and had to relog for them to be visible
Been farming this for hours and no luck either. You’re lucky to even have a giant to kill sometimes because of the amount of people farming them as well because it isnt dropping for them either.
Just abandon SoD and put in minimum effort to raid log. Trying to enjoy this seasonal mode is harder than clearing naxx on HC
