Eq always dropped for me when i was half assing it on the eb. pass out and wake up next morning, bam! eq drop. Unload once and forget about kaw. get back on and bam! eq drop. i also didnt do the same eb b2b to many times and i didnt really stay at a clan for more tham 1, sometimes 2, ebs in a row. imo, dont try so hard. It only makes the process feel like it takes longer. *It also wouldnt hurt if there were a few new low tier eq pieces. the difference between some tiers is a little much.
Hit the eb from the beginning and don't hit it for the rest of the eb. Works for me. I hit the eb when it starts and leave for dinner come back and I have the equipment.
Only complaint i have on drop rates is it being full luck weighted higher towards the bottom half of activity. Dunno how many dozens of fod, tbo, and acc burning xstals mith and pots to see one unload wonders getting full drop and the high actives getting squat. Im still missing 2 pieces from non scroll related eq. Acc/tbo. Ive given up actively looking.
I was going for nml armplate and quit after 2 months. I got 12/12 slots of good armor and went back to try again and got it first try
