Farming burning spellweave and silks of the sun..

devilsTear · November 2016

Hi all,
I'm trying to farm these 2 sets but I don't seem to have any luck with it

I know silks drops in stonefalls but are there any bosses that are more inclined to drop them?
Same with burning spellweave, I know it drops in city of ash but I can never seem to get a necklace or weapons, only rings and a greatsword lol does it matter if it's CoA 1 or 2? I've mostly been doing 1, maybe the necklace drops only in 2?
Could someone please help me out

The patch notes already contain all the details you ask for:

Actually that didn't help at all

I know that already just not if if makes a difference if you do ash 1 or 2.

it only affects the grade, you get 160 either way. The big difference is for jewelry, obviously, since you can't upgrade it.

If you had actually read those notes carefully you would have found out that jewelry and weapons only drop from the end boss of a dungeon. What you get is actually random. There are 12 possible weapons and the shield, and there's 2 jewels, ring and necklace. There are also 3 sets in each dungeon. The probability for drops is exactly the same for all sets and all slots. So the probability of getting what you want is 1/45, slightly more than 2%. The fact you have gotten rings and greatsword from the boss should tell you it's the right source, just you haven't been lucky yet.

From my experience I can also tell you that set pieces also drop from trash mobs, but the probability is very low - one of my Scathing Mage rings dropped from the trash pack just after the Overfiend in VICP. Set pieces also drop from dungeon chests. The higher the lock level, the higher the chance of getting a piece from one of those - found one of my Spell Power Cure rings in a master level locked chest mid way trough VWGT. Also had weapons drop from mobs in VCoA2 yesterday, but were mismatched sets. So in addition to farming the boss be sure to loot the mobs and keep an eye for chests.

Well, hopefully this will be an actual helpful answer rather than just telling you to go read the patch notes, which even I hate to do sometimes.

Here is more detailed info on Burning Spellweave in either CoA1 or 2:

This is detail to exactly where to farm Silks of the Sun and where to find each piece:

here's a list of specific boss items, they have a small chance to drop when you kill any of these guys, its the best way to farm specific pieces of a set

Once again the patch notes weren't helpful as I knew that already. My question was if the necklace maybe only dropped in 2 and rings in 1, the patch notes don't say anything about that. Thanks for the info that mobs can drop em too

And a thanks to the rest of you, I'll just keep farming then.

Im confused by treasure hunter perk and dolmen bosses, so it might make that green ring a blue one? What like 5% cuz I keep getting tons of green jewelry with the perk unlocked.

Also I had heard Hardmode would get better drops? I got the exact same as on non hardmode vet, laurel...

Can gold jewelry drop?
