Raw Velium Ore

    Honest question: is it intended that raw velium ore is as rare of a drop as it is? Just wondering because it's used in like 90% of TOV combines.

    Thanks.

    Its not rare.

    Kill mobs.

    Orcs drop it quite often...make sure you're killing the right mobs.

    Now the pelts, on the other hand...

    I have like 300 of them they aren't rare. The rygorr ones are a bit more rare only have 1 left after a few failures in the earring combine (takes 6 to make purified velium which is used for earring) due to dropping from alot less npcs.

    Hmm, I found the the RyGorr ones almost annoyingly common. RNG can be a, well you know.

    This is 100% the opposite from what we experience on Cazic. I think I have gotten about 5x as many Rygorr ore over the Raw velium Ore.

    ive got stacks of the rygorr ores. almost never see the regular velium ores.

    raw velium is like a 1 in 5 drop in my experience. give or take for RNG.

    Can also try ghouls in EW. Pretty common drop from my experience.

    Hm my experiance is the Rygorr ore drops in multiples pretty much every time it drops. The velium ore always drops singles. That being said the drop rate is not that bad on the 'std' ore. Would not object if it was increased, as yes it or the powder is used in just about everything.

    Pelts on the other hand...

    Made all my armor, gave away 22, and still have 92 without even farming it. Just lucky I guess.

    I have several hundred that the guild has turned in as I do all their combines. Pelts and silks are rough but ore is fine. Just some bad luck on your part I'd say

    Though I havent actually been trying to farm these, if I was Id guess on rygorr mines. They are miners so you should expect them to have ore.

    They have this cool website called magelo that you can search for an item and it tells you the rate of drop for items and who drops them.... it is really cool tool...

    Working on my 2nd stack of ore, mines are not the zone to farm it …. go figure. Its all about the mob type.
  16. svann Augur

    Magelo is really awful on rate of drop for most items. When you see items saying 1 drop out of 2 kills for a particular common mob type you should understand that that is in no way a valid measurement.

    Well that is common sense but you at least know they can drop it. Until you get 200+ kills the % isn't really useful. And you also have to deal with patches changing drop rate so it is more for just finding who can drop it even though sometimes the mob that drops something could be changed and it is wrong now.
