Hello folks, I want to ask if getting the same golden weapon reward again and again is something that could happen and I have really bad luck? Or it might be a bug? I have gotten sinew as y first golden weapon and since then I got 5 copies of Corpse Smeared Blade!
In somewhat a similar way, when I re-roll enchantments using fallen ember, it seems like for a specific weapon there is a specific cycle of 5-7 enchantments that are applied! Shouldn’t this be a full random re-roll on all possible enchantments?
i can tell from previous experience, that the corpse smeared blade was also my most frequent drop/unique weapon. not sure if this changed much. there were changes to loot drops, drop frequency etc, and more changes to drops will come.
i can’t say for certain tho if it affects this weapon differently, or if there is a bug. i assume its “bad” luck. i opened 2 realms and got a total of 3 “uniques” so far, a bow a shield and something i forgot. and i killed 7 or 8 bosses (not through with breach content yet). seems i have bad luck the other way, i just don’t get any at all instead of the same over and over
Enchantments come in groups. Rerolls are following some rules, e.g. it’s only possible to have one enchant of a specific group. Some specific enchantments in a group have a higher probability to reroll as others. So quite often the reroll of the main group enchant will result in “indestructible” or “increased durability” due to their higher probability.
Your CSB drops are quite likely, but it all depends on which boss we are talking about. Darak pestilence loves to drop the CSB. While the cellarspiderboss in Marin Woods seems to really only drop the CSB as golden and that he does every second time. So it’s easy to accumulate a truckload of CSBs, if you would intentionally go after them.
Assuming that you are getting those indeed from mixed pestilence bosses, I’d speculate you are probably just a bit outside of the normal random distribution. Farm a little longer and things will most likely even out. I am not counting CSBs anymore, due to having run the cellarspiderguy too often
Thank you very much for the feedback! Much appreciate it!
So, specific bosses have greater chance to drop specific items! And CSB fits Darak’s theme! That sounds a great idea,keep us engaged with the lor with the little things. I can see some people just wanting random drops, though. So, maybe the game should point out this “lor affiliated” drop rule, to lead the players to the great path of immersing to the whole world of the game, instead of just min-maxing for the fights.
Now that you mention it, I must have played a few fights with Darak and a couple with the boss in the sewers. Maybe this combined with a bit of “bad” luck and that’s why I got so many CSB! You see, I made a mistake and burned a lot of stuff in nameless pass (now difficulty is maxed out) and I cannot beat the boss there, hahahaha. I didn’t know what the mechanic does exactly, and I thought “let’s test that out to the full”! Now I have to lvl up gear and my ability to play the game, because I hardly reach the pestilence boss at half life! It will be a long term challenge!
Thank you for the spreadsheet! It was very helpful to get the idea.
I’d like to ask one more question, if it is ok, because I noticed the “Increased Lifesteal” enchantment. I’d like to know how lifesteal works in the game. I’ve noticed that my Claws of Crescent Moon are very good to build up cold, but on the other hand they do not give me much life back. At least compering to my curved sword.(this is my estimation btw, I am not 100% I am right about the numbers. The bar seems to fill quicker)
I understand that it has to do with their damage (currently for me: 88 and ~120 respectively) but I thought they should work similarly due to their fast multiple front hit succession vs the slow hits of the curved sword. Do the multiple shots count as one? Or the 88 damage is considered as many 10 damage hits?
I kept my claws un-enchanted just to be able to have both cold infusion and lifesteal with certainty.I play dexterity / leather armor, and thought this would give me a good chance to balance my low defenses. But now I am wondering if I should have tried for plagued claws and simply insert the cold gem and the healing rune.
What drops always depends on the specific bossfight. The named bosses of the story have their own specific loottable. Darak #2 is e.g. dropping his Shield and Falstead.
The Pestilence Outbreak version of Darak has most likely another loottable and also drops CSB. At least that’s my experience.
You can remove all Pestilence Outbreak by running Crucible and buying the reset from Seneschal at floor five. I also bumped a Pestilence Zone once too, although not maxed, giving me a tough but nice Pestilence Boss encounter.
As for lifesteal, I don’t use it myself, but it’s quite a lot used by players reporting to have very powerful builds on that basis. Search this forum, there’s much wisdom here. Always drive your builds in a direction where your wanted feature is scaling and triggering other benefits, as discussed here:
