Plunder Skulls drop rate

So I know there's a cool down, approximately 3-5 mins between plunder skulls. But I'm running dolmens in the desert to level a new character, and I only got boss loot at 1 boss out of 20. Is this due to not enough damage because of the huge number of players?

    Yes it appears to be linked to damage...

    Yep. Leave the desert and go do delves.

    even if I make loads of damage (as my main dd in a group together with the low level alt of my husband) I dont get the same amount of plunder skulls as he does. seems bugged

    Another poster made a good point in another thread...they drop from bosses...if the dolmen doesn't produce a named boss....

    A guy in my guild suggested to another guildy that wasn't receiving skulls to log out/in...maybe it will help u...personally I'm getting one every 5 min, no fail.

    Also, even if another spawns or you go to another...you are on timer (be it 3/5m) from the last time u got loot...

    I read earlier that with bosses only the top 12 damage dealers get loot. I looked for that information precisely because one of my characters was getting loot ok and then logged back in later when the world boss was a tad more crowded and had a couple of spawns with no loot.

    Of course, that's unrelated to the separate point about not getting loot with interim spawns during the interval between 5 minute encounters.

    If you want skulls run Maelstorm. Instanced and 30-40mins gets you nine and a ton for XP.

    Dolmen farming really isn't that effective...

    I'm wondering now if maybe the better outcome would be to avoid the crowds and try to find some less populated delves/WBs.

    Guess I'll find out in a few hours :/

    Yeah I would suggest finding less crowded delves and just stay there. Or run public dungeons in less populated areas. I think thats why I just stayed in Auridon last year, not gear one would necessarily farm, but, you didn't have the massive crowd.
