Vaults of Madness and how I got really lucky?

Messy1

Okay, so I collected my coveted Rattlecage set on VoM. I got "Omen's Edge" x 2 "Forbidden Jewels Necklace" and "Gem of Curses Ring" x 2 to complete a 5 piece set that will be highly useful on any of my characters.

To be honest, it was not the most frustrating grind I have ever done. Perhaps I got really lucky?

I think I ran the dungeon 50 times or less and I got all the pieces. I soloed the dungeon a few times and got NO drops of the equipment I wanted. I was ina 4-person group every time that I got the drop I wanted and did not have to trade or buy the gear that I wanted.

Is there a lesson here that running in a 4-person group is the best way to increase your chance of getting the desired gear? Or was I just really lucky?

People in zone and in my groups chatted with me when they found out what I wanted and were like "Why you doing that, don't you realize that item will only drop 1/300 times?" Well, I just continued to group through group finder and I got the set.

We'll if you're in a group of 4 people there will be 4 times the drops. So if you're sharing gear then yes the odds are better.
I doubt the number of people in the group actually increases the drop rate though.

ive managed to complete that set maybe in 20 runs or so i guess i got really lucky however the atomatons set i wanted to try it out ive ran maybe 70 times solo and group and not even 1 drop of 1 handed wp in any trait..

and then one random time after a long long time of giving up i went in for daily i checked the sac and OMG 1 handed purple sharp sword i could not believe it.. LOCKED right away lol


and then yet again ive ran helra on n, helra vet and others whats been now over a month and nobody got one VO of hands in divines , but i managed to got two sharp axe in VO so at least that is something

I think there is a higher chance of getting the items while doing it with more people and also it increases the chance of other people of getting it.

One unspoken rule i have when doing dungeons and trials anything i don't need i give away.

Having said that i would be more then happy to pay for veli medium divins 100k lol anyone ? no? damm... lol
