Seracen Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Hey DE, when will you fix the Breath of the Eidolon drop rate? I have more Eidolon lens bps than I do Breath (which I need to build the lenses, go figure!) Pretty clear the unavailability of BoE is broken and creating an unintentional choke point for most of the higher end content on the Plains. Any word on when a fix is coming?

neverplayserious Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 No issues here with breath of the eidolon dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katinka Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 On the other hand I have 0 Eidolon Lens Blueprints to 4 drops of Breath of the Eidolon. RNG be random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiniko Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I've got more Breaths than I know what to do with, and I've yet to see a single Eidolon Lens BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceryk Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) They haven't given a time frame for the things like the Focus or Bounty Reward boosts unfortunately. They are definitely coming, but just no word on when other than "soon". Edited November 12, 2017 by Ceryk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direcyphre Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 So long as you do enough bounties, breath of eidolon is barely a step up from Relic drops in terms of worthlessness. Sure would be nice to find Eidolon Lenses or the new mods at some point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serbian2G Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Hehe, completely opposite story for me. I'm trying to get my hands on eidolon lenses.. No luck so far. It's just harsh RNG. Edited November 12, 2017 by Serbian2G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zNightWolfz Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) for me both lens and boe dont seem to drop at all . Edited November 12, 2017 by zNightWolfz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz3n Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 grinding tier 5 bounties I did at least 4 today and no BoE. such a bottleneck for my progress... take note i am maxing out my final arcanes for the operators/zaws and this BoE is the worst to farm out of all the components... no fun at all...

Voltage Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 And I have 50+ Breath of Eidolon and not a single Eidolon Lens. It is RNG and the nature of this game. It is working as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exodia Arcanes are underwhelming because the Zaws cannot compete with normal weapons, and I own 3 Operator/Amp Arcane sets + 6 different zaw strikes for MR + 4 Amps with different prisms. Those BoE are going to rot in my inventory until DE adds something worth spending them on. Edited November 13, 2017 by --Q--Voltage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyronz Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I have 2 lens drops and only 1 BoE, hope there is another way to get them when i need them eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatpig84 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Lots of BOE but no lens. It's RNG and you are epic lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hektor37 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The real piss-off here is that it's supposed to be a common drop from the T5 bounties and I have gotten precisely 55 BoE (11 Drops) since launch. By far the most rewarded drop is the Axi Relic. I do this mission multiple times daily. Not all of us can be this unlucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just made my first Zaw and modding it is such a mess that I'm not touching it against until they fix it. It's already been 1 month since PoE was released ffs...

Those BoE are going to rot in my inventory until DE adds something worth spending them on. Uh..what? I agree that the exodia arcanes are bad, but that is because of what they do, not the Zaw's being bad. In fact, some Zaw's are the best in their respective category (Machete, Dagger) or second or third (Sword, Polearm). Not compared my staff to the rest of them yet, and have not build a rapier. Edit : Compared the staff now; My Zaw is better than any of the current staff weapons, with Bo Prime coming the closest. The Zaw has the same attack speed, slightly more damage and crit chance, same status chance, and the majority of the damage in slash , closely followed by puncture (Bo prime has no slash at all). It could also have swapped crit- and status characteristics (25% crit, 14% status) by using another Link, depending on what you prefer. I'll use the Zaw Calc now to check on Rapiers. Edit 2 : Ok, for Rapiers it is theoretically a sidegrade. The Endura has more raw damage, slightly less attack speed, complete trash for crit chance and the same amount of status chance. The Destreza has 1.1 more damage, but almost no slash, 6% more crit and lousy status chance at 20% less than the Zaw. Also .1 less AS. Swapping the link would give the zaw 5% more crit than the Destreza and 9 more status chance, making it a strict upgrade. Soo... nope, Zaw's can compete with "normal" weapons just fine; in fact, pretty easily. Edited November 14, 2017 by ShikiRen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seracen Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Everyone seems to be having different experiences, but my experience is that something is definitely phuky with the drop rates. I've done perhaps 30+ level 40-60 bounties. I have received 20+ wisps, 10 or so relics, 2 eidolon lenses and zero breath of the eidolon (and some other crap, but it's not relevant to my point). Looking at the drop tables, the wisps and relics seem right (25.3% chance for each), but the lenses and breath are way off. Breath should be dropping at a rate of 25.3% and the lenses only 2%. Statistically, I should have around 35-40 breath by now (drops at x5), and zero lenses (I might have gotten lucky once, but twice? Not remotely likely.) Seems pretty broke to me.

Seracen Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Thank you, DE, for fixing the Breath of Eidolon drop rate. SInce the hotfix today, I've gotten 10 breath in 2 bounties. That's much better! And thanks also for the bump on the iridite and wisp drops, that's appreciated too. Now to enjoy all that content :) Edited November 24, 2017 by Seracen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
