Any Bards having luck with the new arties?

grizz · 08-10-2007, 10:03 AM

I am not sure why I am cursed with this aweful luck.
Been hunting every day since this thing started. Yes, I'm in the anti virtue dungeons and I have been splitting time between fel and tram.
I have received 1 (one) arti to this point and that was from a skeletal knight.

Am I doing something wrong? I read the FoF. Doesn't explain my drop rate............1 for like 35 hours of play. WTF!

From what I have read. You need to kill lots of things fast. So if you are just using provo. Probably not getting enough kill points fast enough

*points to vepl's post*

i average 3-4 every hour. shadow wyrms in trem dastard, and earth eles in fel shame. i have found, like the rest, its how many/how fast your killing.

grizz · 08-10-2007, 02:21 PM

I use my Paladin equipped with a Holy Sword and pretty much exterminate the 1st and 2nd floors of Deceit. Don't bother with looting the corpses; if you get one of the 10th anniv. arties from a kill, it will appear in your backpack, not on a corpse, so you'll have a better chance if you just kill and move along. I know this to be true since I myself have attained 2 virtue chests, 1 leggings, 1 sleeves, and Jana's (sp*?") staff since the event started, after about an hour or an hour and a half of killing in Deceit-Trammel (haven't tried Fellucca since I'm not exactly confident in how my PvP skill would be should I get ganked.)

grizz · 09-10-2007, 08:14 AM

Nope, not hidden. This sux. Played again last night, killed stuff non-stop and still nuthin.

Twenty arties from Trammel. Bard received only one, and rest pretty even split between meleer and tamer. Time evenly distributed between the three non-hiding characters. Not all classes are created equal in the RNG experience.

i did a experiment lastnight in fel hyloth 1 artie ever 1100 arrows shot at hell hounds 3 arrow a kill ..got lucky on 1 red last night and he sucked at pvp kept hitting and runing like a sissy really enoying neither kill me or be killed

abracadabra · 09-10-2007, 09:50 AM

Grizz, does your bard use discord? The guildmaster is a peace provo mage and he does fine in arty lotto. I'm a disco prov mage and like you, no where near as lucky. Wondering if disco drops loot and arty chance too besides monster stats.

grizz · 09-10-2007, 10:28 AM

Peace provo mage also.
