Did Blizzard nerf the drop rate of these? Been putting in work gearing a DH alt and genuinely don’t think I’ve got a single one on him after a couple weeks of farming, and all I run are 8+s.

It almost felt like but I did get one today from an unannounced appearance from Zekvir. That said, I can’t remember the last time I looted one from a chest.

I normally get one a week for my herculean efforts of clearing 8 teir 8’s. None this week, which is atypical but not unheard of.

I noticed they do tend to drop more from delves around tier five and up… so… I dunno. I had one drop when I maxed out my one toon and threw them in a tier five for a slow and painful delve run x.x. it dropped and … I’m stuck with it since anything higher on that toon will kill them haha and I don’t want to waste it.
First one I got was in a T3. I’m still salty about that one.

I’ve found 11 of them since the beginning of the expansion. I have only had a chance to receive them drop when Zekvir surprises me in a delve. That seems to only happens once a week.
That may be what’s going on. Used to get them all the time it felt like on my Priest/Shaman, but realistically I’ve probably only done 10 or so Delves on the DH, I was doing a ton of them when the expansion first launched.
I went about a month without getting any…
Then I got four in a single day…
I got one last week…
Welcome to randomness. If the rolls are truly random then streaks are a thing.
Here’s what Wowhead says…
Delver’s Bounty is a consumable, refundable item in World of Warcraft that deciphers a map to guarantee a Tier 4 Hidden Trove at the end of a Tier 4 or higher Delve. It’s a rare drop from the Bountiful Heavy Trunk and Hulking Raptorial Claw at the end of a Bountiful Delve. Players can earn a Delver’s Bounty achievement by finding and opening 10 Hidden Troves using Delver’s Bounties. Here’s what to know about Delver’s Bounty:
- Use: Players can only have one Delver’s Bounty buff at a time. They must complete the Delve at the tier their buff shows or higher, or right-click the buff to remove it.
- Drop rate: Some say the drop rate is closer to 4% per normal chest at the end of a Tier 8 Bountiful Delve.
- Weekly limit: Players can get up to three Delver’s Bounties per week, per character.

I got 3 in a row yesterday. They drop, just not always on the toon you want or when you want.

For me the drop rate has been a shade less than 5%. And that’s only counting T8s. Definitely not a reasonable source of gear or crests. 
I’ve had 3 in the past month but I’ve only done around 20ish +8s in that time. They were all on the highest ilvl characters I have

Is that the maps? Been months since I last saw one.
Then again, I only bother with 2 delves per week these days, to avoid burnout.

They feel nerfed compared to the start
One Monk I had got grouped with got two in row. One from Zekvir to invasion and another one at EoD.
Huh… That I didn’t know.

I have felt like the drop rate was decreased. But I realize that my personal experience is a ridiculously small sample size. It would be great to be able to get meaningful data on the subject, but it’s not clear how to do so.
