    2 runestones in 14 bosses?

    This past week I had 4 runestones coming into this tuesdays reset, I literally only got runestones from bosses that are 100% drop rate which equates to only 2 in 14 bosses... It's extremely frustrating.

    Anyone else have this bad of luck?

    I've gone a week without getting any.

    Be grateful you at least get 2 guaranteed now.

    I used to have a cool signature, but now its limited it 6 lines and that has my boobs all twisted with anger!

    got my cloak ages ago, but this was before any boss had 100% chance at rune stones. time between first and second stone was 5 weeks.

    I just don't understand how you can do 14 bosses and only get 2.

    dont runestones have a droprate of 25%? So in expectation you would have between 3 and 4 runestones by now. Having 2 runestones pretty much qualifies as "bad luck"

    edit: just read op more carefully, you got 0 out of the expected 3 -> just more "bad luck"

    RNG isn't the real problem. LOOT TABLE with one RIDICULOUS LOW AMOUNT OF VALID NUMBERS is.

    If the loot table had a great array of numbers that return as valid ones, Random Number Generator would be nice.

    Going from 6 bosses and no 100% chance to get one this quest took people months. Now its 100% getting 2 a week, this takes 6 weeks minimum if you are really really unlucky. You really cant complain, and as other have said, RNG is RNG.

    I seriously doubt that number. It's more like 2.5% or 0,25%
    Perhaps you misunderstood 0,25% as 0,25 chance of dropping.

    Stop complaining.. I had 5 weeks without any stones (or was it secrets?), before Lei Shen was changed to 100%.... And I did 6K valor, not the nerfed 3K...
    I had 37 Sigil of Power, before i had my 12 Sigil of Wisdom...

    Legendary quest is easier than ever...

    I went into what I hoped to be the last week with 9/12 once. Figure what happened. Yes, it was frustrating. However on the other hand I managed to get 7 stones in a single week on another character as well, so I won't complain.

    25% seems pretty accurate. Which equals to about a bit less than one runstone per LFR part, I think that's a normal rate.
    The chance that you won't get a runestone with a 25% dropchance from 12 bosses (apart from the two that drop 100%) still is ~3%, so in other words not getting a single runestone apart from the guaranteed happenend to 3 out of 100 people who were on the quest this lockout.

    So yeah, bad luck.

    RNG is RNG. I managed to get 4 this week.

    My son got all 20 secrets in 2 weeks, took me a third to get mine done. Ran 4/14 on runestones this week. With his luck, he'll probably get 6 or more. But, I also did the whole chain on my main when it was fresh and had to wait on patches to drop before you could even progress to the next part. I'm not going to complain about the nerfed version of the chain that we have now.

    When you consider Lei Shen and the Sha of Pride are both gauranteed to drop runestones then yeah, two a week is pretty bad luck. It's kind of painful when you're thinking "Goddammit, if I had better luck this would be doable in one week!" like I did.

    Got them on my main in like 6 weeks back when it was current, it took my alt 2 weeks (6 and 6) just now

    I killed Marrowgar in 25-ICC for almost a year straight and saw his belt drop once (it was given to a spriest instead of me). RNG is RNG.

    hahahahahahahah

    You think that is bad luck?

    Try 7 weeks with 1 runestone total killing every single boss that dropped them (this was before the fix to give guaranteed drop).

    So yes I have.

    Be grateful you got 2 and stop bitching.

    Really not worth moaning about at this point in time. It's a legendary quest and a big power gain after all.
