Dwarven Scarab Pet getting this thing is a joke.

A Mythic Item. All parts acquired by farming mobs in Bthar-Zel in The Reach. This is the longest freaking grind I've had so far. I've cleared out the mobs that drop this pet about 50 times now and managed to get three of seven leads. It's not that the RNG is bad it's that 90 of the mobs do not drop ANY loot. I started keeping track last night and ran through the entire zone 5 times and the drop rate of any loot at all is only 5%. There were two runs where NOTHING dropped off the mobs at all in the entire zone. I'm all about things taking time to acquire but this is horrendous! RANT OVER!

✭✭✭Not only that, but there are very few mobs and they respawn slowly. I've yet to have a piece drop.✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨5 -

✭Took me almost 8 hours of grinding that place nonstop.
It's a grind, no question, but it's there.1 -

✭✭✭I keep trying to do it thinking I'll at LEAST get some Dwemer scrap/frame out of it, but like you said, the vast majority of mobs drop absolutely nothing. I've never had a lead for the pet drop, period.0 -

buy maps at trader. dig out chest. get motif every few chests. Easy peasy.ShutYerTrap (selectively mute NPC dialogues (stuga, companions); displayleads (antiquity leads location); UndauntedPledgeQueuer (small daily undaunted dungeon queuer window)0 -

Yep on the chance that you get a motif drop at all with is a roughly 20% chance (or it used to be) you have a 1 in 14 chance to get the motif you need and they are ridiculously expensive at guild traders if you were to try to buy the individual pages. The dwarven scarab is definitely rough too but at least there is a guarantee you don’t get a duplicate piece.

✭If it helps you put a time metric. I grinded hardcore during off hours. It took me around 11 hours total to get all parts (non-consecutive) but best if you are able to go through a circuit. There is one circuit where I found, suit well and can time their respawns (I believe it’s north-west side of the place).Edited by Qyrk on March 12, 2021 9:26PM0 -

sell the duplicates to buy more treasure maps. or missing motifs.ShutYerTrap (selectively mute NPC dialogues (stuga, companions); displayleads (antiquity leads location); UndauntedPledgeQueuer (small daily undaunted dungeon queuer window)1 -

✭✭✭I feel your pain, we all do I think. rng can suck, at the very least.
When I go there I run for +-20 min, if nothing drops in that period I just stop.

✭✭✭✭✭I think it's bugged. Considering how most of the time the mobs don't drop anything at all, something isn't right. Since you can't get duplicate drops, if you already have the one, it will look like it dropped nothing.0 -

✭I stopped farming this thing. Now I only kill enough mobs on my way to a daily. Period. There are far too many other things more interesting than a pet I'll have hide during a trialI am the very model of a scientist Salarian, I've studied species Turian, Asari, and Batarian.
I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology).
