Hello,
Is it me or is Chromium Platings become much more rare?
Been doing all the Jewelry Surveys I can find, very very few Chromium Platings....
Also, does anything non Vet drop purple jewelry?
Tanks,

✭✭✭I am not sure I have ever got a gold plating from the crafting reward boxes, just sometimes I get two gold grains.
I only do jewelry dailies at max tier on 4 toons, though.

Seems its just a case of bad rng. I suggest you do the crafting daily jewelry writ (always at the highest tier, which is platinum) on more chars to improve your chances of getting more grains/platings.(...) Is it me or is Chromium Platings become much more rare? (...)

I do the jewelry crafting quest every day....that is the writ, right?
Maybe I have some non de-buffable curse on me?1 -
Canperial35✭✭✭Last year, I was doing the daily writs with like 10 characters everyday and I used to get only 1 chromium plating (account wide) once every 2-3 weeks or so. I think you are not unlucky, it is simply a rare material to get as a drop.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭The drop rate for a full Chromium plating is about 1.5% of the time (at a 25% chance of getting Chromium), so it's about 0.375%. So about once every 266 times you do jewelry writs. So you could expect just over 1 a year if you only do it on 1 character. If you do them on 18, you can expect one on average every 14 days.Edited by tmbrinks on March 10, 2022 7:11PMTenacious Dreamer - Hurricane Herald - Godslayer - Dawnbringer - Gryphon Heart - Tick Tock Tormenter - Immortal Redeemer - Dro-m'Athra DestroyerThe Unchained - Oathsworn - Bedlam's Disciple - Temporal Tempest - Curator's Champion - Fist of Tava - Invader's Bane - Land, Air, and Sea Supremacy - Zero Regrets - Battlespire's Best - Bastion Breaker - Ardent Bibliophile - Subterranean Smasher - Bane of Thorns - True Genius - In Defiance of Death - No Rest for the Wicked - Nature's Wrath - Undying Endurance - Relentless Raider - Depths Defier - Apex Predator - Pure Lunacy - Mountain God - Leave No Bone Unbroken - CoS/RoM/BF/FH Challenger65,385 achievement points2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I've averaged 1 in 467 overall (and that includes some data from before characters were fully leveled). Last two patches I've had about a 1.5% chance of a plating drop (across all types) and it's 25% for a chromium grain.

✭✭✭While getting them from daily crafting rewards is nice, you can also get them from refining jewelry mats as well. So farming jewelry nodes and of course surveys will help.

Tanks @katanagirl1 I do as many jewelry surveys as possible. I only seem to get the surveys from doing dailys. Been nice to get more. Is there a way to get more?
I max'd out my Jewelry extraction skill line.
One this that I found surprisingly helpful - Keen Eye: Jewelry - occasionally I would run by nodes, but the glow - really helps!0 -

No, survey drops are 1 in 8, regardless of the level of daily writ you do.Tenacious Dreamer - Hurricane Herald - Godslayer - Dawnbringer - Gryphon Heart - Tick Tock Tormenter - Immortal Redeemer - Dro-m'Athra DestroyerThe Unchained - Oathsworn - Bedlam's Disciple - Temporal Tempest - Curator's Champion - Fist of Tava - Invader's Bane - Land, Air, and Sea Supremacy - Zero Regrets - Battlespire's Best - Bastion Breaker - Ardent Bibliophile - Subterranean Smasher - Bane of Thorns - True Genius - In Defiance of Death - No Rest for the Wicked - Nature's Wrath - Undying Endurance - Relentless Raider - Depths Defier - Apex Predator - Pure Lunacy - Mountain God - Leave No Bone Unbroken - CoS/RoM/BF/FH Challenger65,385 achievement points3 -

The only way to get more surveys would be more toons doing daily crafting writs.
It would be easier to just go out and spend some time each day farming jewelry nodes, though.

It's pretty competitive. I have to do it late at night ....0
