Monster Trophy Achievements.

First off, are some of the monster trophy achievements broken and not dropping? (not just this one).
I find that some trophies drop quite commonly and some don't seem to drop at all for myself or anyone I ask. One example being the "Fleshy Symbiont" from above. When I was v10 (back when it was max level) I was farming the v9 Flesh Atrons at Malabal Tor at Abamath for ages. Around 1000 kills in I gave up. Recently I have gone back to try and find these trophies since I am verging on 100%ing all the PVE related achievements and want these damn things out the way already.. I have killed close to 200 already and I am worried I am doing it for nothing.
If this is a RNG thing then I am extremely frustrated with the implementation of this achievement section. It is almost punishment to get other trophies so often that you find yourself having to delete them often then have to go through the pain of finding some that are seemingly non existent in the drop table.
As the "Monster Trophy" section of achievements gives little to no rewards I am wondering why the drop rate is seemingly zero. I understand it not being too common but it seems overdone.
Now that is over with lets get to the other part this thread was put up for..
Does the trophies have a higher drop rate at monsters closer to your level?
Can anything raise the drop rate of these trophies?
Where is a v14-16 cluster of Flesh Atrons that could be aoe farmed?
*Disclaimer*
I understand the completionist community is tiny in this community so this may relate to almost no one reading it. However hold back the typical hate and "Why do you care" and "I dont ever want it but it should be extremely hard to finish and take thousands of kills for a single one of the 51 or so trophies you need EACH" kind of comments. I just want to know if there is a drop issue, any ways to make it easier and why they have these achievements so painfully hard to obtain for little to no rewards. I don't agree with 51 separate trophies taking 2000 to infinity kills to obtain and possibly thousands of hours. It is not game play and the 10 achievement points each for dedicated time is a insult.
Thanks everyone.

✭✭✭✭✭I dont know if it got fixed, but the Fleshy was bugged and would NOT drop. I thought they fixed it and it was in one of the patch notes."Get off my lawn!"0 -

I heard they fixed it. Can a dev tell us the drop rate of the trophies please? Is it like 0.1% per kill to drop?
It would be good to know...0 -

✭✭I've gotten that drop, during regular questing. I don't remember when it was but within the last couple of months.
That may be small comfort, but believe me that I feel your pain and don't look forward to having to try to actively farm some of these when I finish questing/leveling.Ilsabet Menard - DC Breton Nightblade archer - Savior of Pretty Much Everything, Grand Overlord & Empress Nubcakes

Yea thanks
I just find it ridiculous that I can complete 95% of all PVE achievements and every bit of content in the game except for VMAW and spend a sad amount of overall time in the game doing things and only have 18 of 51 of the trophies throughout the time of playing... they should be done already because I played the game as it was meant to be and completed all forms of content even achievements that are pointless.
HOWEVER they have such a poor drop rate that I have less then 50% done every AFTER everything else...1 -

I always hear them throw around the saying "They are back ground achievements" and "Slow to complete but just play the game and you will finish them".
Well I have and I am only 18/51..1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I would like to hear from the Devs as well. My achievement chaser is VR16, and I missed out on Fleshy since it was bugged when I was the correct level, unless the trophy can drop even though they are far below my level."Get off my lawn!"0 -

They apparently do drop, I would like to know;
a) Do they drop less commonly for v16 if you farm lower levels and
b) What is the drop rate of each trophy in the loot table.

✭I am feeling your pain. At times, I actively farm for these trophies but almost never get the one I need.
I usually get higher drops out of dungeons it seems.
Not sure why the drops are so low considering the dyes are "common" and the achievement points are not much.PS4: NA - AD PSN: imnotanother (Artell Lyeselle)

✭✭✭✭✭The Monster Relics are just something I have given up on ever getting after they made it so you can't trade them between characters. I don't even look at those achievements anymore. I think I even have a couple parts completed on one or two characters.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

I feel like I dont have the motivation for them now days.0 -
Haxnschwammer✭✭✭✭I was farming flesh atronarchs at Abamath, too. Took me like 100 of them and countless before
in coldharbor and dungeons. And someday it finally dropped. Took me
just like 2 years to get it. In the same time I got dozens of chattering skulls or
dwemer dynamos, without actively farming them.Edited by Haxnschwammer on April 22, 2016 3:00PMOnce I was a healer. Then I took a Wrobel to the knee.

I killed 500 just today. So my total kills would be 1700 while farming them for the trophy + all the ones I got while I was getting 95% of all achivs which would be a few thousand I would assume. Still nothing.imnotanother wrote: »Haxnschwammer wrote: »I was farming flesh atronarchs at Abamath, too. Took me like 100 of them and countless before

ConflagrateSoul ShrivenI got that Fleshy Symbiont as a drop casually doing gold Spindleclutch last night (not from the Flesh Atro boss). Never tried farming trophies before so I could've got lucky. Thought I might as well let you know that trophy is out there at least. 0

✭✭✭✭✭RNG is a pain... I thought some of these were broken after farming some for weeks, namely the flame atros and the ogres, but in the end I got all of them. Funny thing is, on the character I leveled during cake week I got both of those without even trying.0
