    Got one last night in Craglorn from a node. So I say it's BS. I wasn't farming I was just walking from delve to delve and just going for aspect nodes If they got in my way.

    I picked up two kuta runes in the 4th zone within 15 minutes of each other three days ago. They are legendary so hardly going to be easy to find but they are still dropping.

    I got one from my hireling yesterday and one from a node earlier in the week.

    Not saying it isn't nerfed, but I got good luck if it is.

    Also bought a bunch for 2K each from someone selling them.

Do they not spawn right now due to the craglorn patch? Thanks.

    No, but the rumors about purple provisioning recipes are true.

    They only had 10 of each in the game, and they've all been looted already.

    Tough luck to anyone else who wants one!

    True story. ;)

    I found one a few hours ago on a level 3 Alt.
    And my Hirelings deliver.

    This isn't a rumor, but a fear-mongering market ploy to inflate prices.
    People can't sell overpriced motif books now, so they're trying new tricks ^^

    Obviously, you had an incentive to believe it ... Sorry to burst your bubble o:)
    Opinions are like buttholes : Everybody has one, and they usually stink.

    3 things to reduce stamina/magicka imbalance :
    - Use magicka to block abilities costing magicka, instead of stamina.
    - Add % damage reduction to heavy armor.
    - Add block penetration to 2H.

    Yeah got 2 today and 1 from hireling.

    The demand has gone way Up. I'm VR 7 and have seen a lot of VR12s "come back down" from grinding and are doing quests in VR land again. A lot of them are looking to buy.

    Exchanging a full set of purple glyphs for a full set of legendary glyphs will give you a minute stat increase but will cost easily 10 times the cost to buy. Seriously, check the numbers

    I have 20 in my bank.. I have a ton of good items for crafting but I keep thinking of saving them until I get VR12... but I keep playing my chars to VR1 and trying another build lol.. - on a side note last night I got a KATA in Stonefalls


    KATA

    LOL nice!

    Yes, but actually unbelievable, that they used a model to do that Kata, and not someone actually owning a black belt.

    At least when I was still training Karate, none of the black-belts positions looked even only slightly similar.

    Btw.: Not a single Kuta out of the Hireling until now, but it's only about 4 weeks or so, that I got him. Still like him, because he delivers at least 1 lvl 9 potency + almost 1 Rekuta / d.

    Thx to Giny, Sarana, Thaili, Derra, Cherahim, Gloy, Raweelz and Drimacus, you make the game worth playing even with AoE-caps, no usefull progression past Assault / Support Rank 10, and with PvP being not even close to balanced.

    Wow, your hirelings send you Kuta?! Mine's been at 3/3 for like over a month by now and still has to send me one, must really hate me:( It's only started sending Rekuta after the patch, too, hardly ever sent an Aspect at all before that, never a purple one.
    I've also found about 30 Kuta total(maybe actually less) in all my lvl 1-vet 6 journey, and the rate seems to keep for me even with all the rune farming I do. Found 2 in the last week, that's more than in several weeks before that:P

    While we're at it, I found a purple recipe yesterday:D They exist!

    Demand has exploded since people have been Anomaly farming and more and more people reach veteran rank 12.

    The spawn rate is the same (atleast I have not noticed any kind of drop) but since the demand is bigger than the current supply, the price will probably stay this high for a short time.

    I have had the same slow but reliable trickle from both nodes and hirelings throughout this supposed problem so I would say the 'rumour' is mainly about jacking up the price. Once I have finalised my VR12 gear, I shall bank a set for when they increase the level and sell the rest off cheap just to bug the exploiters :)

    I have a glut of Kuta now, can't yet use it (i'm levelling multiple characters, and the highest will have to wait for me to come back and invest some skill points), but I keep finding it.

    Anybody spot the troll trying to ramp up the price of all the Kuta stocks he has?
    (prob has a backlog of duped stock he needs to shift fast...lol)

    I think you've misheard, it's essence runes aren't dropping any more. The good news is, I'm still selling them for 100k each.

    I wish that when you deconstructed armor, you had a chance to extract either runes from the glyph or the glyph itself.

    Just thinking it would give new meaning to deconstructing purple items.

    I wondered if it was and was fixed myself. I haven't been able to buy kuta for weeks now but thought maybe just having more high level players (all the grinders that were, and are still even after patch, allowed to grind up to v12 now in craglorn) might have lessened the supply. My biggest concern was that I haven't been able to find one harvesting (and I harvest a lot looking for rune stones) for weeks. I did finally find one just the other day, it was just one, but gave me hope.

    Also, 40K is a crazy asking price even if it was/is bugged lol. Let's remember it's not just whether or not it's rare, but how useful it is. If I can just use a Rekuta and have an armor run that does 86 imp stamina instead of 89, that extra three points isn't worth 40K.

    I have kuta, but not a lot of them. But then again I wouldn't expect to have that many since I am not even in VR yet. As to when I got them ... I honestly don't know. I just gather high end stuff, dump it in my bank with all the other high end stuff I have yet to be able to use in game.

    It's great that so many of you are finding Kuta. So, the next time that I spam zone chat with WTB Kuta, perhaps some of you should sell me a few instead of hoarding them. ;)

    I find some every week depending on luck... i even found 3 in a row, 2 from a heavy sac 1 from harvesting... that said it feels like they decreased the drop rate a bit.

    EDIT: I usually sell mine... for 4k-4.5k currently on the EU server.
