I haven't seen one for about 2 weeks and now 2 popped up in visual distance of each other but they only gave me 1 set piece item, nothing else.

How long has this been the case?

any info or links would be welcome!

thank you!

    If you're in populated zone with good Overland Sets, Dolmen Farming, and clustered mat spots, you're SOL especially with people actively farming mats for hours. I see them frequently in zones that aren't so populated such as beginner ones and you need to have a good eye catching a glimpse especially if you're blazing thru with speed.

    More populated helps them spawn, but not if others beat you to them while trying to clear runestones to respawn portals.

    Clear more runestones for them to spawn then. Sadly, it is much easier when more populated due to random luck and a hell of a lot more chances with more people clearing runestones.

    For example, I just found 5 psijic portals in one relatively small area of Summerset a couple hours ago. I was amazed at how many were there so quickly, but the island was "hopping".

    Im 4 years into my first mmo but its fascinating how the folks who control droprates change them.

    The consistent pattern i see is releasing something thats awesome to see how it gets used...then im guessing the data is compiled and the decision on where the nerf should go.

    Psychologically that system would lead to initial happiness and then the people that dont get tired of it get dissapointed.

    The alternative would be to try for a happy medium and adjust or start something limited and turn the juice up.

    Im guessing the necessity of making us wildly happy about new content takes priority...but the drawbacks...

    Is this what has been discovered? Runestones are the key?

    Explain! Please!

    Psijic Portals can spawn exactly where runestones spawn. It works just like jewelry nodes and blacksmithing ore nodes which share the same spawn locations as each other also.
    You need to clear one for the other to have a chance of spawning, or the area needs to reload because of lack of players causing it to not need to be loaded as players leave and then reload when somebody enters the area.

    Psijic portals show up anywhere there is a node from what I can tell. It doesn't have to be a runestone. Don't know if they take the same place as chests, someone might have to test that for me because I have yet to see that happen.

    Wrong. So very very wrong.

    Check out the change log of the Map Pins addon where they say the same thing from version 1.27: Map Pins, Change Log
    They ONLY spawn where runestones spawn. They carry enchanting mats always, along with other items.
    I have verified this countless times by doing runestone harvesting cricuits and seeing psijic portals in their place on repeat trips. I have never ever seen any psijic portal in any other location.

    Usually find at least 2 in each main zone. Shame about the lack of jewelry from them, for research.

    Then I was experiencing a bug perhaps?
