RNG sucks in this game...even if you lucky enough to get a helm and shoulder you are looking for, you then need to be lucky enough to get one with the armor type you are looking for....and then maybe if you are lucky enough the trait you are looking for?

Screw that I would rather not play the RNG game and just buy/craft something else, not worth it.

They should make a token npc where you can trade in the helms and shoulders you don't want for something you do actually need, like maybe at a higher trade ratio or something....

100+ days of doing something over and over and still not getting what you are looking for...

SCREW THAT.

You got screwed. I saved 12 keys, 11 gold and 1 silver. My silver key gave me a VR16 shoulders. My 11 gold keys got me 3 more shoulders. Yes, so 4/12 was my ratio, or 3/11 with gold keys. This is right around the expected rate of 33%.

Ok, I'm going to splain this too you guys because I feels bad. I had a buddy go 0 for 60 once and when I am actually opening large numbers of keys I go about 1 for 2. We have good reasons to believe that drop rates are time dependent (server system clock). I'm not going too go into all of why this probably is but there are good programming reasons. Most of us who worry about these things are not sure if different people have different happy times or if happy times are global and some think your happy times are the same every day or they change. I personally believe that they are global and change each day as that has been my personal experience.

So, how is this information of service? Well, most of the time it's not. You kill bosses and mobs when you kill them and there is really no way to know if it's happy time or not. However, when opening key's, crafting writ bags, fish filleting, or refining mats, you can stack the odds. Did the first key give you a shoulders? No? forget about it and try again later. Yes? try a few more. If you get another empty the whole clip. It's as simple as that. Sure it's a pain as it may be a while before you get the first one to flip but let me tell you it is oh so worth it. Sorry about your 74 keys, especially since we all know drop rates for the new stuff are always higher for the first couple days to wet the appetites and then are super nerfed. About half my shoulders were the new sets on day 2. I expect this will change soon if it hasn't already.
