Misery loves company. I feel better already knowing I'm not the only one getting [snip] on. But, what Inferno? Are you talking about Maelstrom Arena? If so, I've done +40 runs of Maelstrom and still no Inferno.

My advice would be to farm on normal now that it also drops weapons. Run vet for achievements, leaderboards when it's a VH week, and fun if you like solo arenas. If you don't like solo arenas, I would not recommend torturing yourself with vet. Also, and this is my advice for all farming and for general enjoyment of the game, limit your number of runs to 1-2 per play session. Remember that you will get the item you want eventually and it's not worth burning yourself out over

I'm not sure from your post if you are aware, but it's not actually the SAME weapon that drops in normal vs vet. Depending on the specific weapon, some of the perfected 2-piece bonus lines can be pretty nice. So someone who can do vet and is farming a specific weapon probably isn't going to want to do normal instead.
This is what I have to show for: 6 perfected bows, 2 inferno staves, 2 lightning staves, 1 ice staff, 1 restoration staff. I dont know the coding or algorithim or whatever it is that decides what you get, but the fact that they didn't code in something to prevent this travesty from happening is a disgrace. What motivation do I have to keep playing this game if I can't play the build I want? If the last thing you lose is hope, what happens when you lose hope that you'll get what you're farming?

Each weapon has a 1/6 chance to drop, so if you're looking for a specific weapon type like fire staff or 2h maul the chance gets multiplied by 1/3. In this case its a chance of 1/6 (for the correct weapon) x 1/3 (for the correct type) = 1/18 which translates to a 5.56% chance. Its not unthinkable that you dont get what you want after 100 runs, you basically have a 94.44% chance to not get what you want.
I know how you feel, I never got the vMA fire staff on vet, when they changed it to drop on normal I got the non-perfected staff on my first run...

I think that OP is more concerned with no counter measures to get the same loot over & over again... which basically makes all calculation pointless
P.s. I got perfected inferno during my first vet run

This is exactly my experience as well.CaffeinatedMayhem wrote: »I'm at 20+ for normal Vateshran, multiple sharpened inferno staves, and other staves, daggers, bow, every weapon EXCEPT Void Bash, which is the only one I really need.
I would be quite happy with a 1/6 chance, but I'm certain that the chances are NOT equal.Septimus_Magna wrote: »Each weapon has a 1/6 chance to drop

I am not sure exactly what you are wanting to get....but the "coding" they use is called random number generating:
DW Weapons set sword/sword-1
DW Weapon set sword/axe-1
DW Weapon set sword/mace-1
DW Weapon set sword/dagger-1
DW Weapon set dagger/dagger-1
DW Weapon set dagger/axe
DW Weapon set dagger/mace
DW Weapon set axe/axe-1
DW Weapon set axe/mace-1
DW Weapon set mace/mace-1
S&B w/mace set-1
S&B w/axe set-1
S&B w/sword set-1
2-hand Sword-1
2-hand Axe-1
2-hand Mace-1
Bow-1
Inferno Staff-1
Ice Staff-1
Lightning Staff-1
Its possible I missed some combination in there....but from my count that is 20 possibilities...you know what that means? It means you have a 5% chance of getting what you are actually looking for...or a 95% chance NOT TO GET WHAT YOU LOOKING FOR. The chance resets every time you run the place....run the place another 88 times...then you can come back and complain about the numbers being against you...but a chance is just that...if you flip a coin 1000 times, the numbers say you will average heads 500 times...but there is no guarantee you wont get tails every single time....random is random, people don't seem to understand what the word means. I got an inferno staff of the Medusa the first time I ran Arx Corinium after it became the piece to have...but that doesn't make me luckier than anyone else...its just what you want has no bearing on what chance decides you get
