    Yes, they are. I got a ton of the Homecoming collections from nodes in Metropolis open world today.

    Sweet, thank you! Think we could also get the bug with the formal dress skirt + rage boots? It makes one of the legs look distended and flat with a weird curve like a boomerang from under the skirt
  3. Raven Roth Committed Player

    I haven't got a single piece of the other half of the new collection from the Island nodes. Am I missing something?
  4. Eve Guest

    I dropped one after running the alert a few times. A few drops in there, just really rare
  5. Samael Morningstar New Player

    Same thus far it seems like it’s just the tuning fork that drops though.

    I've got another self-care from last boss in the Turf War: Team Joker duo last night (really quick to run, too). Boss is rando, but it was Ivy in case that turns out to matter. I've only run 3 raids total across all my toons so far this week, only got a drop in GoM. Pieces I've not had drop yet: Resonant Tuning Fork, Tightly Wrapped Sage, Energy Cleansing Candle, Tarnished Brass Gong. I've only gotten Zen Garden 1x.

    Update: leaguemate and I got Tarnished Brass Gong and another Self-Care (each got one) in another run of the Turf War: Team Joker duo. It was the Ace Chem map, Deathstroke was the boss.

    I'm sure the drop rate is the same in other duos, I've been running this because it's usually quick and knocks out some feats on my alts at the same time. Some of the item drops are decent or tied to feats too (e.g. Contraband).

    Edit: The image is just showing as IMG in brackets on my screen. Just in case it doesn't show later, here's the screenshot of my loot tab showing those two:

    Pretty sure I got a tightly wrapped sage from a non island collection node. Hope that helps!

    Nice! Congrats. I'll give those a few runs tonight and see if any of them drop for me.

    Energy Cleansing Candle dropped from the Homecoming event boss for me.
    It's a gold colored collection piece, that's why I think it's more rare.
    I guess farm the event more with your alts to maybe get it faster?
    Good luck in your hunt!
  11. Raven Roth Committed Player

    can confirm that the candle drops from the alert. got it today after running it on alts a hundred times
  12. Imaginos Dedicated Player

    Getting crappy luck on that. Run it on 14 alts last couple days and gotten 2 of the uncommon ones from Raven and 1 of the uncommon from the others. Many times I get nothing at all. Hopefully it'll drop before this stupid event is over seeing as I can't afford hundreds of millions to buy one, let alone 3 or so.

    Yeah same all I seem to get is the tuning fork / other collection set/ or squat. The drop rate is unfair at best.

    Do the following drop from Solo Bosses too or just group content (duo, alert, raids)? What's the fastest solo bosses to hit if they do?
    • Miniature Zen Garden (Any Boss - not seasonal)
    • Self-Care Guidebook (Any Boss - not seasonal)
    • Tarnished Brass Gong (Any Boss - not seasonal)
  15. vRad Well-Known Player

    I've not gotten

    I was going to say I've not gotten any Mindfulness drops in a solo (ran at least a dozen now) until I got Zen Garden in Spark while double checking these times. Tip: Krypto really speeds up boss fights in these

    • Last Son of Kryptonis the fastest solo I know of- under 3 min unless you forget to hit the "skip scene" cog or the toon isn't that powerful.
      • If the toon can't burn Xa-Du efficiently before he heads to the yellow lamps, cast shield and sprint around deactivating the lamps. Then unleash orbital, krypto, henchman, etc. on him. He'll melt.
    • Spark of Parallax- around 4 min, probably 1 min of that is just standing around during scenes.
      • There's a brief cleverly hidden behind a boulder on the right hand side of the path you initially walk down, before the "arena" area.
    • Science Spire- 4.5 min; some of that time is waiting on Lois.
      • Can shave a few secs off in spots by skipping adds in halls because they'll follow you to the next rooms where more adds are, so you can just take them all out at once.
      • May take getting used to the layout before reaching optimal time.
      • If you like the miniature bottled city base items, they drop here regularly
    • Iceberg Lounge- under 7 min (if you leave during final cut scene before scorecard, you get your loot as soon as the boss goes down anyway).
      • There's an easy to miss brief hidden behind a file cabinet in the room you click a cog in after the final boss fight.
      • Shield is uber helpful in final fight.
      • Just noticed the description in on duty says "Bonus Rewards: Grains of Time" did it always say that or is it a mistaken sneak peak at Save the Universe? :eek:

    Correction: Manheim's Chinese Theater is now the fastest solo I know. Completed in 2 min on a 96 SP quantum toon (who has wolf packed Trans and Strat, tho). Cast shield, skip all adds to the magent forming the barrier to the stage, take them out then head on in to fry Faust. I only ran it 2x, did not get a seasonal collection piece of any type.

    Sorry for spam, it won't let me edit my post- but I got Self-Care in Manheim's Chinese Theater solo through Omnibus on a different toon just now.

    Thank you for the reply. I'll give these a shot, though I don't have krypto :)
  19. Forum Junkie Dedicated Player

    76 source marks. 20 for Krypto, 56 for the rare alliance. 8800 ally favor I think. Best purchase you'll ever make.
  20. vRad Well-Known Player

    No problem! Happy to help where I can on the game. Krypto really is a great investment- highest ST boss damage among allies (to my knowledge) and his passive is really handy for exobit farming. Best thing is that he's blue (rare tier?) so requires minimal investment to max him out.

    Forgot to mention that Science Spire and Iceberg Lounge have collections inside so if you're running an alt that needs the event pieces dropping from collections, may be ideal to target those with them because they do drop from those. :)
