Crystallized Firestones, where are you?!

[Raeli]

We've not had a single one yet, and we're a 10man >.>

[Nitrix]

22 Heroic kills (25) and 0 stones :\

[Malgann]

35 heroics bosses kills, and seen 3 only dropped,

[Seriss]

We're around 30 heroic kills total now (25 man) and haven't seen hide nor hair of a Firestone yet. They're a myth if you ask me.

[Callypso]

Gotta love it when half of your BiS gear comes from the VP vendor or rep vendor, and the stones simply don't have a noticable droprate (raiding 25m).

I'm so gonna be benched in 4.3 >_>

[Eleidess]

8 Heroic kills on 10man and only 1 Firestone.

[Rioo]

We've killed 6/7hc since the second week of HCs and seen like 4 of them (10-man). Cleared the 6 bosses yesterday, no stones. Nice fix.

[Kragtik]

around 30ish kills, 2-3 shards

this is in 25man

[Dubalazi]

33 hc kills on 25 man - only 1 drop ;s

[Deleted]

the "increased firestones" change seems to be as good as the change to Baradin hold who now "has more pve loot" when he droped a single pve item when we kiled him on 25 yesterday, hunter legs which we sharded.

[Durbi]

Around 16 heroic kills here so far, and only seen 1 drop...apperently Blizzard has increased the drop chance, but it seems it went from 1% to 2% just :/

[Arnoldlayne]

4/27 heroic 25 man kills dropped them. 2 of them this reset.

[Deleted]

We've killed 37 heroic Bosses und got like 10 ... not too good, not too bad. Last ID we had none out of 6 heroic bosses. The ID before we've got 6 out of 6 Bosses. Strange things

[Raphtheone]

We got 3 firestones (6/7HM) this reset. It was christmas!

[Kavoo]

yesterday was my first heroic kill and a firestone dropped !

[Ayarea]

We've had our first firestone drop yesterday (10 man).

[Warhunt]

Wowhead figures (Not saying it's any use, but it's best info I could find based on actual drops):

Shannox -
10man : 56/345 16.2%
25man : 73/910 8.0%

Rhyo -
10man : 5/54 9.25%
25man : 7/160 4.35%

Beth - Figures are boned. 2/2 on 10 man, 0/0 on 25 0_o

Aly -
10man : 3/12 25%
25man : 2/175 1%

Bale -
10man : 1/14 7.1%
25man : 2/30 6.6%

Major -
10man : 1/16 6.3%
25man : 15/79 18.9%

Rag - No kills recorded

Odd results, and they mean little without context, but hopefully it provides some info that is not anecdotel.

TL: DR - 10 man drop-rates are consistantly better than 25 (other than Domo, which seems an error on recording part), however this drop rate will most likely be sub- 15%.

[Raeli]

If you look at the sample sizes, 25 man has a far bigger sample size, so I think that's a more accurate result, 10man from those results could easily just be RNG at play.

12 vs 175 samples, yeah of course there's going to be some disparity.

[Warhunt]

As it said, it's a bit skewered but helpful to peruse.

I'm not 100% on how wowhead gets its figures, but I;m guessing it's character by character. Increased likelihood of people from the same raid providing the same results in 25 man? .... Meh, skewered.

[Dyrving]

We've killed, 11? heroic bosses and seen 2 firestones on 10man.

The general loot for us has been pretty dire. The last 6 tier tokens (both heroic and normal) have all been Vanquisher and we seem to get mostly Leather or Caster Mail.

Today's raid was a slight difference, it was agility and caster plate!

This is what's happening with us aswell, except 0 firestones so far. Thinking about bringing my druid tank in as main, will probably gear up faster that way!
