I didn't keep track of it too carefully, but I think it took me about 8-9 weeks to get the first 9 drops - of which only 1 was the guaranteed drop off Lei Shen. Then, 3 weeks ago I got 4 in one reset!
The guaranteed drop off Lei Shen definitely helps. It means you are guaranteed to get it within 12 weeks. On average you should expect to spend about 6 weeks, but I think you would have to be really unlucky to need more than 8 weeks these days.
I'm sitting at 11/12 atm and have a question. Can i get runestones from LFR once it resets, but before all the normals dungeons/raids do? i'm trying to get my cloak before raid tonight.
You have 1 chance per week per boss, so if its reset, and the new raid week is up, yea, part 3 (and if ur lucky, hand q in) then run part 4 for lei shen.
Im sitting at 10/12 now.... got 2 last week (OMG more than 1 in a week, best rng ever........)
Think ive been averaging 1 per week since i can remember =z
3-1-3 so far on my DK, so 5 left to go....but I'm content since its an LFR hero/profession alt.
Runestones are the bane of my existence 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
Sighhhh... My computer went down and I missed either two or 3 weeks worth of clears!
I now am back and get a single runestone this week. Yay
9/12
I've been getting 1 stone every week for the past 4-5 weeks. The drop rate is complete shit. I'm up to 6/12 now.
I started my runestones two weeks ago. I got 4 on the first week, 1 last week. Let's see what this week yields.
Got my cloak yesterday after 16 resets. Before they implemented the guaranteed drop i had 4 stones in 12 weeks. After the guaranteed drop i started getting about 2 per week for the last 4 weeks and the grind is finally over.
And heres me half way through with the collection of the previous step, thats what I get for taking a 6month break.
Up to 7/12. Didn't get any for the first what...8 or 9 or 3894 weeks until they added in the guaranteed one on Lei Shen. Since then I've gone 2-1-2-2. Hoping this progress continues.
Question:
If your twelfth runestone comes off Lei Shen, can you run LFR again to get the Heart afterward? Or do you have to wait a week?
Since this is not a real legendary, they should increase the drop rates. At the end, everyone will wear this "legendary" cloak, so it's just a stupid rng matter of time.
I mean, if it was for some real legendary, then sure, make it hard and let rng screw us sideways, but really, it's a damn cloak everyone will get... therefore it's not a legendary, I don't care how orange it looks like.
7 stones in 3 weeks, not bad...all from LFR
