Runecrest.8940 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I did map Competition with more than 10 characters to collect these, and use my wvw and pvp potions to collect the extra... and THEN they increase the reward?! I got only rare gear in every single chest... Can I at least get my Map reset so I can re-collect them? This is so frustrating.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria Murtor.7253 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 The drop rate was probably 0,01 % and is now 0,02 %. Doubled Chance - no big deal. I did map completion with 32 characters, both reward tracks and the Vault Achievement. So, I opened about 50 Artifacts and got nothing. You never had a "real" chance.

I did it 21 times along with both reward tracks, but I already know that even if they increased the chances by 10x I would still get a unidentified rare.

So, if you got the charr artifact before the loot bonus you loss at least 21 gold, and the keys save you completing events if you go for the daily map chest.

You get a key 100% of the time? if so then yeah that's just kinda sod's law I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah now it's one key, one unid rare, one 'charr' item and then the jackpot rolls. I does kind of suck for ppl (like me) who have already done extra map completes and opened all their boxes, but I wouldn't consider it 'unfair' any more than it's 'unfair' that the home node is less on tp than from vendor, or that some ppl may have paid more for the visage box before the drop rate was increased, etc. . . .

Well as I mentioned above I have done 21 map completes before the buff to the reward, so I lost out there, however, I just bought the hatched chili node from the TP for 16g, so I gained in that aspect, you win some you lose some.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Really? Are you sure? I thought they just added more items to the drop table; I see nothing about any items being guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I still see nothing 'guaranteed' in the preview: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:%22Recovered%22_Charr_Artifact_preview.jpg Maybe it's that 'viewing' thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 You may be misinterpreting this: _"Recovered" Charr Artifacts now have increased rewards: an additional piece of charr-themed gear, one of the four legion keys, and double the chance of receiving a Visage of the Khan-Ur._ Nothing about any guaranteed rewards. I doubt the 'preview' is mistaken. Of course, anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 After opening a bunch of chests, I'd say that the Charr themed gear and keys are guaranteed along with the free bonus of being disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you re-read what you quoted there yourself? "An additional piece of charr-themed gear, **one of the four legion keys**, and double the chance of receiving a Visage of the Khan-Ur." The screenshot might be outdated. I did map completion before the update on a dozen characters myself and never received a key. So yes, we were given less than one receives now.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 It's not out-dated, as it didn't have those options, before. But, think whatever you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yolvanski.1952 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I got this after completing the reward track for grothmar valley for the first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaoda.1653 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I've opened about 70 of the recovered charr artifacts and got junk. Did about 40 something or so on alts via map completion. The drop rate is so abysmal that even with this change, you do realize that it still takes 5,000 charr commendations just for 1 recovered charr artifact, right? That takes quite a while to obtain. If anything, we need more options like this for recovered charr artifacts. I'm glad Anet added this as another way of getting it. Edit: Just realized someone had bumped up this topic from 2019 and thought the OP was talking about how unfair it is that the recovered charr artifacts are now being awarded from the legion reward boxes after 5,000 commendations. Feel free to delete this post of mine, mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pifil.5193 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Ah it's good to know that these are in the new reward tracks it adds a new source for disappointment. :) Although from the fact that a lot more have entered the market in the last week I suspect they also adjusted the drop rate.
