Lead for Mount in Darkshade 2

I have run Darkshade 2 approximately 30 times This does seem excessive. I know that you could of used a random percent decreasing based on the type Lead from Green to Yellow or Orange. But you could of also used a counter in conjunction with the Leads so not to have more then say 30 times running the entire dungeon.

Thanks and Take Care.

    I really think that's mostly just bad luck. As rare as it is, any RNG can potentially result in a really long lose streak. Me and several friends have gotten the Ebon wolf, and all of us had at least 2-3 pieces that for some reason just seemed to not want to drop. For one of my friends it was Volenfell and Rkundzelft, for me it was Bthzark. My friend got her piece from like the second beetle she killed right outside. Me, I spent probably 4 or so hours farming the area before it finally dropped. On the other hand the first time we did Volenfell I got mine, and then we ran it well over a dozen more times before she got hers.

    But yes, 30 runs for the dungeons does seem excessive, because unlike all the other leads you can't stand there are farm it as it respawns, you've got to re-do the entire dungeon again. I think those drop changes should be higher, with an increase in chance to get them with every failed attempt, maybe maxing out at 100% chance after like 10 tries or something.

    Not the first person I've seen that's had crap luck with the RNG and probably won't be the last unfortunately. Hopefully you'll have far better luck on your other leads to make up for the BS.

    That one, I got on first try.

    However, the volenfell one drove me nuts. NUTS !

    Volenfell was 12 runs for me. DS 1and 2 I got in 2 runs. One of the delve bosses took me about 8 kills too but other then that I was very lucky.

    So far, none of the leads have dropped from the 4-player dungeons I have done.

    4 man dungeons leads I have done so far all took between 15 and 20 runs.....

    Now let's discuss the music box lead that drops from a safebox, I am burning through lock picks like never, ever before!!

    Last night I opened over 100 safe boxes in an area where friends said they had, had sucess, nothing, nada, zilch except for an inventory full of stolen items!

    I think I have opened in excess of 400 boxes in total now.😱

    Volenfell - lead dropped in the 1st run
    Darkshade Caverns I and II - 10-15 runs between both atm, no lead
    Mtharnaz delve - killed the boss over 15 times yesterday, no lead

    After 15 attempts it becomes frustrating...
