    Question Delver's Bounty maps: have droprates changed?

    Since the weekly reset of the previous week - so Wednesday 8 January - I have run 4 tier 8 delves every day, total 36 delves on tier 8, and have not had a single Delver's Bounty map drop. Usually it is 3 per week, sometimes 4 when Zekvir breaches the delve.

    Anybody else experiencing this? Or has something about those maps changed perhaps?

    Getting desperate by now and not sure I should continue to run these delves. Any help much appreciated.

    (this is on the EU-Aszune server).

    I've experienced that almost every week. After almost 100 delves done I've had four bounties. Based on that I'm guessing that the map drop rate is 5%. If that is true then 0 out of 36 is somewhat unlucky but nothing out of ordinary.

    In Season 1, you have a chance to find Delve Maps at the end of a run. These maps give you a large boost in rewards when used on another delve, including acquiring Gilded Crests. However, some people never found a map during their runs due to bad luck. Other players received multiple maps a week, followed by nothing for months.

    In Season 2 we’ll increase your chance to get a map with each run if you do not find one. We’ll also limit it so you can only earn one map a week.

    RNG, especially with so low drop rates is sometimes a bitch.
    IMO it's not something worth farming, more like a welcome bonus.

    I was averaging 2 or 3 a week the first month or so of TWW, but after that they dried up. Didn't see one for weeks.

    I have done two bounties every day at the beginning of the expansion, on main and alts. I slowed down to 2 every 2-3 days since 11.0.5 hit.

    Since the expansion's launch up to now, I've only seen a grand total of four delve map drops for my entire account. I would say you getting and average of 3 maps per week was pretty darn lucky, from my experience.

    Judging also from other replies, I guess you are right! I'll count my blessings.

    It seems you are right, thanks.
