Boss Helm Drop Bugged?

Ran darkshade 8 times yesterday and I dropped 0 helms. Nearly every run had 2-3 helms drop. Seems unlikely I would not have received a helm considering how often these are dropping. Anyone else experience a similar issue? Or just RNG

    That is just TERRIBLE RNG mate, but I can tell you one thing usually after such severe bad luck your next kena / skoria/ malubeth/ bloodspawn or whatever will be a super rare trait.

    I have got the worst luck with bloodspawn, well fitted, prosperous all day, 1 sturdy.

    But Malubeth? I drop divines all the time :wink:

    I ran darkshade ovet 80 times before I got the helmet. Since then I have gotten it two times over 7 runs.

    It is just rng.

    8 runs with no drop is nothing.

    Damn.. Ok, drop rate was 50%+ each run. Perhaps the others were just getting lucky XD

    I would kill for a medium armor well fitted bloodspawn but guess what all I get are divines, which my friends want and all they get are well-fitted ones. They should at least allow to exchange the same items with different traits.

    Yeah, I have friends who ran Elden Hollow and Spindle 80+ times respectively to get the helms.

    over a period of week our group ran Darkshade caverns and only one guild mate got it every 8 runs, the same guild mate, the same guild mate who happens to have the most awesome RNG. She pretty much has all the monster sets, and got a helm damn near every time we run a dungeon. :( I want that RNG.

    Wait... What...? 8 runs and no helmet has you worried, and feeling concerned? I had to do VWGT 280+ times for my first Molag Kena helmet (which dropped in medium and well-fitted). 8 runs is nothing my boy. Lol.

    By the way, if you want to experience TRULY horrible RNG? Go and do VMA in hopes of obtaining an inferno staff in the final chest. Better yet, a sharpened inferno staff. Lol. :p I know people who are in deep over 300 runs, and have not received 1. In fact, on the topic of staves in VMA — it took me 100+ runs for my first staff (sharpened restoration) to appear in the final chest of VMA.

    I am originally a console player and have not experienced such RNG hah, PC is not as nice to me. I have maelstrom fire sharpened on my sorc there, first one XD.
