Good gravy, you've killed 45 lich already in this game, and you've posted 1 time in the forums. lol Well, welcome to it. Sorry to hear it. Congrats on getting your ephemera, either way. Being that you are able to trade Lich, I suppose far fewer people will ever endure those odds overall. Man. I haven't even taken out a single Lich yet. (Still putting it off for a while.) Some of y'all are amazing at this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)GearsMatrix301 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hence why I haven’t touched the Lich system since my first miserable experience with my first one. Unforgiving RNG and consumable resources just to engage with that RNG is not a good system. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AegisSiege Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 14 Liches, 3 Ephemeras, so a 21.4% drop rate? I guess you haven't been praying to RNGesus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmacq Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Meh..... it's a lot better than it used to be. The "down him 3 times he goes away" thing has helped a lot. People seem to understand how to play this now. You let the Lich hang around for a while to make some thralls. Then you down him. Do you want to stab him? Your choice. If not the group downs him twice more and he goes away enabling the next Lich to spawn. Rinse repeat. The fights are kind of fun cause it's prolly sortie level 3 or so in difficulty. It's taking around 2 hours to finish one off these days in public groups. Oh and I got an ephemera on my 3rd Lich Edited November 27, 2019 by cmacq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diavoros Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Well, killing 100 of an enemy that has an item with droprate of 1% doesn't guarantee you will get it when killing the one hundredth of them, RNG isn't cumulative, you either get the thing, or you don't. You could be extremely lucky and get it first try or never after a thousand tries. 9 hours ago, xcrimsonlegendx said: I've been grinding my ass off trying to get the toxin one, that's all I want out of this system.

The answer should be in a realm of what is a reasonable grind sample size... hence my timing of posting this thread, I believe 45 to 50 lich's is a reasonable sample size. I have a 2.2% drop rate.... I would take 5% ... I would definitely take the DE stated 10% 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
