Drop Rates of Motifs in Hew's Bane

bostonguitarkid

Been farming Outlaw Motifs in Hew's Bane. Three times I've killed the World Boss at Thrall's Cove, and each time I've gotten the Outlaw Daggers motif. I think there's a problem with the loot table. Otherwise there's only a 1/2744 chance this would happen if the loot table was truly random. Anyone else having an issue with this?

Thanks!

The other world boss has now dropped the Outlaw Belts twice and no others. I have now received a 4th (!) outlaw daggers from Thrall's Cove (a 1/38416 chance if the loot table was equally random). I guess I'll just buy the rest of the motifs at this rate.

There are some Motifs that are "weighted" more than others. In fact, the Outlaw Daggers and Belts sells for around 2000 to 3000 Gold each as they are so common, but other pieces such as legs and chest are more like 25,000 gold.

Through leveling my alts by doing Countess Quests (easy and self supplying) I would get one motif a day, and it I still ended up buying a couple of the chapters after a month or two.

I don't have documentation to back this up, but I suspect it's set up like Gold Coast, and each boss drops defined pages. For example, the assassins sword and chest pages will only ever from from Hrota, never from any other GC bosses.

I'm sure Hews Bane has the same restrictions. The list of which bosses drop wich pages is probably here on the forums somewhere.
