How many pledge runs did you do to get the right monster set piece?

Gordon906

Shoulder trait specifically

Did you get the trait you want though and the right armor type? And what set was it?

BigBragg

For many I still don't, after countless runs on many characters well before the addition Tampa On sets.

Absalon

Gave up, I'm no idiot.

Gordon906

So I'm not alone here when I have spent months farming vet pledges and still didnt get sturdy light bloodspawn, divines is what I'm using now

Gordon906

Well I feel more comfprtable knowing that hardly any of is here even completed our monster set dreams XD

Nope. Still haven't got it. Light Divines Grothdarr shoulder eludes.

DeadlyPhoenix

I haven't gotten any shoulders I actually wanted except divine skoria, everything else..... I don't run them daily anymore, I've given up. I'll either get them randomly some day (Probably when I no longer have a need for them) or I won't.


Edit
Also the shoulders are light, had medium helm, was used with a crafted set I had a heavy piece on. So really wasn't even that great since crafted sets are generally obsolete and it couldn't effectively be used for a light armor dropped set.

I'll let you know when I get it, 150+ so far

Gordon906

I thought I was a quitter for finally giving up but I really feel bad for you all : /

Did I ever tell you the story of how I ran 200+ Dungeon runs before I finally found my 1st monster helmet, a v5 Bogdan Helm? (back when helmets weren't a guaranteed drop)

That should give you an idea...

I've run dungeons like 50 times. got all the right pieces for my characters. which is why I think the undaunted system needs an overhaul. aint fair that'd I'd get it so easily while others are never even getting the monster set that they are looking for, not to mention the right trait.
Would love some input here: Undaunted Overhaul

For the shoulders or head piece? It took me quite a few runs for that but the shoulder trait, almost never.

Been pumping keys into Gilirion's chest since level 50 ... no clue how many but prob north of 500 keys on that chest alone... I just got divine ilambris arm cops last week.

I still don't have optimal Grothdarr shoulders, still dont have optimal Veli shoulders, still dont have optimal Kragh shoulders ...
The only things I got fairly quickly was good Skoria pcs ... I somehow have divines and impen Skoria shoulders in every armor class.

I've also run Sanctum dozens and dozens and dozens of times - I still only have 3 pieces of usable 2-fanged.
I still dont have a single piece of gold mending jewelry after xxx AA runs ...
I still don't have a Master's Resto or a Master's Bow ...
And don't get me started on Maelstrom....
Sometimes RNG sucks. Day before yesterday in back to back runs I got 2 sharpened Maelstrom staffs... ice and resto. lol

You're going to hate me....on my first key ever I got my infernal guardian Divines shoulder, on first run through vet CoA I got my helm in divines. I got extremely lucky and now I'm working on finishing VmA...getting there!!

I remember this. That's when I got my valkyn helm. After only about my 3rd run too... I didn't get it though, someone else did and didn't want it. After that, I never saw another divines drop from vCoA until they became guaranteed.

After probably over 200 pledges, many more keys than that since one tam offers many more per day than before, I still have yet to get any true piece that I need. BiS that is. If I get the trait I need, it's never in the weight I need. Like getting 4 divines illambris shoulders light but not a single one in medium or heavy, which I have a helm for either when the day comes I finally get it.

Sturdy bloodspawn.... never gotten anything except prosperous, training and infused. Infused inst the worst I guess, but it was heavy.

Edit
I don't really go for bloodspawn anymore since there are more sets in glirions chest that I need vs basically only that in maj's

zuto40

what is this "best trait" you speak of, its nothing but a myth

Gordon906

Zos should really reduce the grindiness for undaunted shoulders

I meant optimal or the trait type you want. But yeah, it's a myth now.

They should really reduce the grindiness for just about every aspect of this game. I understand they need to keep people playing over large amounts of time, but if anything the boring grind day in and day out makes people become burnt out on the game in general and consequently leave to play other games. Even if only for a little while and return eventually.

At least that has been my experience.

Gordon906

I know dat feel

lygerseye

46 times to get the right set piece... haven't got the right trait yet

Runschei

Got my grothdarr, iceheart, skoria, molag kena, bloodspawn, selene, veli AND krag right first try

karma69

I saved 150 keys to get Illambris Divines Medium. Dropped like 5 peices out of 150keys, none of which were divines. Around 50-70 keys later I dropped Illambris Divines Medium.

itehache

Not that many.

I ran with my friends so I got the helmet in 3 or 4 runs. Shoulders took longer but it was not that bad. I have Selenes btw.

Shoulder with the right trait? If yes, then youre the lucky few...

WalksonGraves

First shoulders I got was reinforced blood spawn, those got me through year 1 of tanking.

talk about luck.

Muramasa89

About 110 keys, still looking for another piece though (which I lost count on).
