Netch's Touch Lightening Staff

Chelister · June 2017

I have done 20 + runs to get this staff, but it seems that I'll never get it

I did half of the runs with my friends and none of them got it too

I have been mainly doing Darkshade Caverns 1 (vet), what if I do DS 2 (vet), is there a higher chance for running level 2 vet?

Danksta · June 2017

No, there isn't. Tbh 20 runs isn't much at all considering you're farming a weapon. I've done about 150 runs of CoA for a BSW one-handed weapon and had no luck.

I don't think it matters at all. You are simply discovering that weapon drops are one of the worst cases of RNG in ESO.

Waffennacht · June 2017

Odds of a specific weapon in a dungeon final drop: 1/300

The link below is to an older thread but explains why weapons are so hard to obtain. You can expect to spend days worth of time farming for the weapon, though you might get lucky.

And some people wonder why anyone gets upset when they ask for CP 180 gear to appear. Imagine grinding everything again.

Wait, are they gonna increase the gear cap level?

BTW, no need to Farm Vet Dungeons unless your farming Jewelry you want in Purple or a Monster Set Mask. If your just farming a group dungeon for a weapon/armor, you can do Normals and get it done faster.

I have a couple of Netches Touch Staffs, one in Lightening (Sharpened) and one in Ice (Precise) so they do drop,

That is unknown, ZOS basically doesn't tell anyone anything until it reaches the PTS, and by then it's around 95% likely to go live with no adjustments or comments/explanations/apologies.

The one change they took back completely that I can recall in the last year and a half of forum browsing was the removal of lightning staff AOE channel.

No.

There is no reason to ever increase the Gear Cap in a Scaled Game.

So there are:
Vet DS caverns 1 and 2
Normal DS caverns 1 and 2

You are saying that unless I need purple jewellery, I don't need Vet DS caverns 1 and 2, right?
If that's true, should I just farm Normal DS caverns? If yes, level 1 or level 2?

Did you farm it yourself by the way?
If yes, then the only problem is that you don't have people to trade with. I have been mainly doing the farm with people I know, so if they would get something I need we could trade

Absolutely true. We just see the occasional post asking for it, probably by people with no jobs and that play 12 hours a day and want an advantage.

I do agree with the design of the game there is no reason to do so. It serves not valid purpose for the game other than to merely punish players considering the brutal RNG of the game, especially with weapons. It would be short sighted, basically stupid, decision to do so. However, Zos has proven to have short sighted vision.

However, it does appear Zos has considered raising the gear cap. Zos stated they would not increase the level cap with Morrowind or Homestead but that they would let us know when they plan to raise the gear cap.

There is no reason they would state they would let us know when the plan to do so if they were determined never to do it.

They came from Randoms or Pledge runs. I honestly don't farm for Dungeon Gear, most of it I decon. I do have a Lightening Wizard, I call him my Tesla Coil, which is the only reason I saved the Netch items.

But, if you can improve the items, no reason to do the Vet versions for gear farms. You get them as Blues with Normals. And, in the case of Darkshade 1, that is probably soloable (never tried myself)

Also, don't ignore the chests in those dungeons, that is where I get most of the good stuff. Most group dungeons have several to more than a dozen chest spawns, so you should be able to find 3 or 4 on each run.

MLGProPlayer · June 2017

20 runs is barely anything. You need a few hundred runs for weapons.

I needed 80 runs just to farm body pieces from a dungeon (BSW). Weapons are MUCH rarer.

It's actually people who don't do endgame that ask for it. These are people that wear crafted gear and don't understand how gruelling the grind is in this game (they don't grind, so they don't see a problem with it).

Make sure you're hitting the chest locations every run.
Increases your weapon drop chance by a lot.

Paulington · June 2017

I happen to have both inferno and lightning sharpened of Netch's Touch and it took me about 100 runs in total, got those staves on back-to-back runs.

Run DSC1 on normal, kill the 2nd boss to open door, skip all the way to last boss and nuke him down, reset and repeat. It can take a while though!

I read that as "Run DMC".
