Has anyone actually gotten a Tokuno treasure from killing a revenant lion? I've been killing them since last night, off & on, but haven't recieved a treasure from them yet. I realized they don't actually give me any type of fame gain at "Glorious" either, so perhaps that's why I'm not recieving any treasures?

No problem on Pacific or Lake Superior.

Not sure since I hvae heard of people killing orcs and getting arties.

I've gotten one from the ones near the oni spawn

I was killing Bakes, the whirlwind "leaf elemental"s, Yomotsu Warriors, and Tsuki wolves for nearly an hour and a half straight with no results.

I was heading over to the moongate to check the other island, killed ONE (1) Gaman and got Daimyos Helm.

Makes me wonder if too many people in a particular area makes a difference since I got like 3 of them in 45 minutes. Litereally 1 every 15 minutes then it stopped as more people came into the area I was hunting in.

I think they spawn at a constant rate, but the more people there are the less likely you'll be able to get the one that has the artie on it.

I get the same amount of minors no matter how many people are there and regardless of what monster I slay. I have played for no longer than 4-5 hours per day for the last 3 day because of work (blah) and I have 42 in bank atm.

The thing people need to understand is that the artifact drops are well and truly random. I've gotten two in the space of fifteen minutes. I've gone hours in between drops. I've killed kitsunes for an hour with no result, then zapped a random llama and gotten an artifact. It just happens.

Also, note that your chances of getting an artifact go up with each kill. If you kill powerful monsters for a while, then mow down some weak stuff, your chances of getting one will be much higher than if you had only been killing the weak stuff all along.
