Where does vicious ophidian drop? Normal or vet?

Wrecking_Blow_Spam · August 2016

Also can you still downscale SO? What is the lowest you can downscale to?

DRXHarbinger · August 2016

Nope it's fixed but drops on both. Also drops in archive vet for some reason.

Hutch679 · August 2016

Used to drop at cp 160 on normal downscaled to 45 before new update. Now idk if they fixed that or not. Stand outside the trial and say youre looking to farm it. You'll get picked up by a group.

It drops on normal and normal at 160 is still easy, it just take a longer then when it was scaled down.

So no longer scaled down that's a shame.

Not a shame. It's good it was fixed.

It drops on normal and get but higher chsnxe for VO to drop in vet.

Is a shame IMO. Pc players farm and transfer it in dungeons and now console players can finally transfer we have to do it the long winded way. Not just that but finding decent people on console is a pain.

It drops in normal mode of the following trials with a 20% chance per boss (there's a small chance for boots on trash packs):

Hel Ra Citadel
Aetherian Archives
Sanctum Ophidia

In the veteran version, the chance increases to 80% (and you can also get gold jewelry, instead of only purple).

What? We were doing down-scaled level ~45 all day yesterday.

@Asmael thanks for the info, appreciate it.

Wrecking_Blow_Spam · August 2016

@JudahXBL so it still drops when down scaled to 45 correct on xbox?

In normal, it's a 20% chance of a BoP set item on the final boss of all three Craglorn trials.

If you get a BoP item, you might get VO, or you might get IA or EY.
You might get a jewelry piece, or you might not.
The chance to get a VO jewelry piece something like 3-4% in normal.

In vet non-HM, you are guaranteed one piece of golden jewelry on the final boss of all three Craglorn trials. 20% chance it'll be a BoE jewelry piece, 80% chance it'll be a BoP jewelry piece.

If you get a BoP jewelry piece, you might get VO, or you might get IA or EY.
The chance to get a VO jewelry piece is 26% in vet non-HM.

In vet HM, you are guaranteed two pieces of golden jewelry on the final boss of all three Craglorn trials. You are guaranteed 1 BoE jewelry piece and 1 BoP jewelry piece.

You still have an equal chance to get VO, IA, or EY (though sometimes it feels like EY drops way too frequently--but that's probably just bad luck). But you are guaranteed a piece of golden jewelry from one of those three sets.
The chance to get a VO jewelry piece is 33% in vet HM.

I play console and I've done SO more than 80 times. Finding a group is not hard at all. People always want to run that place and it's super easy. I have 5/5 Vicious and 5/5 Infallible Aether with 3/3 jewelry for both sets. If you can't find a group stand outside the trial I guarantee you will see a ton of people right there looking for more to run it.

Trust me, I would much prefer doing it legit lol. It's what my friends wanted to do.

@code65536 I realize this is an old post, but a guildie referenced it in conversation this morning. I was wondering how you came about the drop rates you posted above? Do you have access to the source code or is this something that is available through the API?

Code likely ran the trials more times that he cares to count and kept track of the drops for the entire group. His page notes he is on PC where there are addons that can tell you want everyone received in loot.

You'd have too look at some more up to date info. BoE sets no longer drop in the craglorn trials as far as I know.

erlewine · June 2018

heres how craglorn trial drops work now
theres one set that is shared amongst all 3 craglorn trials: infallible aether, vicious ophidian, and eternal yokeda. then each trial has a zone-specific set:
Aetherian Archive: Healing Mage, Quick Serpent, Defending Warrior
Hel Ra Citadel: Destruction Mage, Poisonous Serpent, Berserking Warrior
Sanctum Ophidia: Wise Mage, Twice-Fanged Serpent, Immortal Warrior

on normal, bosses drop zone-specific sets at 80% rate, and 20% craglorn-specific. on veteran its flipped, craglorn-specific drop 80%, zone-specific 20%. As for jewelry, doing veteran non-hardmode will drop guaranteed one jewelry, which is 80% likely to be craglorn-specific, but again rarely will be zone-specific. Doing last boss hardmode will also drop an additional gem that is 80% likely to be zone-specific.

Basically, if you want a set specific to that trial, do Normal for the armor, Vet hardmode for the jewelry.
