Vet Darkshade is the pledge today.

Run 1: I two-manned it with a friend for the pledge. Got medium reinforced Engine Guardian headpiece at the end.

Run 2: I ran it again with guildies for the pledge on my alt. Got light well-fitted headpiece at the end.

Run 3: My alt solo-queued for a random vet dungeon because I wanted to see if it was working any better than before. I got vet Darkshade. Got light infused headpiece at the end.

Run 4: My main solo-queued for a random vet dungeon because it went pretty smoothly on my alt. I got placed in a 3-person group for vWGT (why does the Group Finder even form the group when there aren't four people?). The group leader disbanded the group, and I re-queued. This time, the "random" dungeon that I got was, once again, vet Darkshade (I guess I'm being paired up with people who queued specifically for that). Got light well-fitted headpiece at the end.

Four pieces of EG decon fodder in four consecutive runs of vet Darkshade. :o LOL, I wish I had this kind of luck with Nerien'eth or Skoria.

    Are you kidding me? I ran that dungeon 150+ times and NEVER got a head piece. And you say that RNG is trolling you? Think again.

    Exactly my point. It's trolling. I didn't say it was trolling me. But it did just give 4 heads in 4 runs to someone who doesn't need or want it and who's just going to decon it. If that's not trolling, I don't know what is.

    Engine Guardian helm is the only item in the game that one of my guild friends has ever wanted...he's been playing for almost 2 years. Here's to hoping the new monster helm vendor will be selling it soon.

    On my first (or second, not sure) vCoA run as a healer in 1.5 I got an infused helmet of valkyn skoria. Needless to say that my teammates actually needed it and I didnt.
    A bit later, I got all types of master's weapons in all traits except restoration staff. When I stopped playing as a healer, I finally got one.
    These days, I farm vMA for sharpened inferno staff and got a bunch of perfect stamina weapons, with precise and sharpened traits... But no staff of course. I'm pretty sure that if I only had stamina chars, it would drop on my first run.
    So yeah, rng is the biggest troll in the game and imo something needs to be done about that.

    I've been running that dungeon regularly forever. I got my first Helm last Gold Rotation. At least it was Light / Divines, but still...

    Hundreds of runs. 1 Helm.

    I ran it probably 50-60 times with no helm. Then i finally got the helm. two runs later i got another helm. It is completely strange.

    As for molag kena, in about 20-30 runs ive gotten 4 helm drops.

    Still waiting on nereinith helm to drop though. hoping it is for sale at the vendor tonight :)

    Understand 100%. I ran it SO MANY TIMES with no Helm drop. After I got my first Helm on the last Gold rotation, I've ran the dungeon with friends so they could (try to) get the Helm.

    I got Helms on all but one of those runs (4 Helms in 5 runs). 2 Heavy and 2 Medium. Don't recall the traits off the top of my head.

    When it rains, it pours?

    Yep i was same with Engine. Ran it far too many times and was still using a V12 helm until last week i ran it twice and got two helms. One was light well fitted which got trashed and the other was light infused i think. I wanted Heavy lol

    Since wrothgar wanted a briarheart ring did dailys everyday, world bosses in groups often nothing. Did cyrodil caves etc, Decide to change my Nightblade back to magica..... Get it
    Engine took me 33 gos but constantly gave the helmet to others I ran with. My other healer mate is still trying. Valkin hates me - I just feel I deserve it due to the amount of runs.
    Nerinieth always wants to give me a hat as I didn't want it. All my friends do and I help them farm but it seems to drop only for me.
    This game trolls frequently and often.
    I am starting to think I think it listens to your friends Wishlist and gives you that and the gives them what you want.

    Got 3 shoulder pieces on 3 pledge runs when it came out. Okay, one was well-fitted but the other two were infused and impenetrable.


    Yeah, this RNG is trolling...

    I ran with a group of four weak V16s once. Had to solo The Engine Guardian and they got the helms.... RNG at its finest lol. I don't care enough to spend 200K for that helm though so it'll drop for me one day :)

    Changed my mind. Will buy the Engine Guardian Helm if it is still there! AP rolls in insanely fast this patch!

    No point in running dungeons with horrible RNG for a tiny shot at them anymore.

    Please, you want RNG salt, how's this.

    Did vWGT a few times because I want them helm (mag sorc overload), and the healer keeps getting them.

    Every
    single
    time.

    I have 3x shoulders (before vendor) He had none.

    RNG harsh mistress.

    You can get lucky. I have ran it twice and on my second attempt I got medium divines. Now to get the shoulder piece in light or heavy and I'm all set.
