One of the early threads just after the new EB's came out. I'll try and go through them and post the link. Hopefully a mod might come on and clarify for you as well
Every item I've got save the armour has been through xtaling 6x and hitting every element at least once, ie each bar. Typically I've hit over 7/700 times. What this tells me is there's an increasing percentage "chance" per x's hit in a eb, with a potential increase for each element hit. I know people win off 40 hits or less as well but that's just really lucky. The only way to do it is spend the time doing the eb b2b. eX
Extreme, that's not true at all. Please explain why I've been doing b2b fods for a month now, spend over 200xtalls within that month and been #1 on eb ranking pretty much all my daytime ebs. (actions and plunder wise) It's random. More hits do not increase your luck.
Bad luck tommelz I did 3 fod and joined each one in last two hours. I got my sword on the third fod. I got my armor on my first destroyer. Can't get my shield though grrrr!! Lol
The items won't come if you do haunting! I personally get 664k stats total from my sword, which is pretty good. In order to get that much in allies, I would need 664,000*50=33,200,000, or about 1 trillion in allies. That's a pretty decent amount, though not too much compared to lb players.
My alt did a run, just one, went to bed, got sword. My main, 68 tries, 12 treasures, no sword. Looks strangely random.
Gunny, I wasn't saying that anybody is really gonna get a precise answer as to how the item drops. Rather that it is far easier to keep hitting and share what has worked for you, than to save enough gold to buy the allies that would have the stats that would equal the bonus these items give a HCBC player. Are you actually suggesting that saving enough gold to buy 20 mil bfa is easier than hitting FoD and finally sharing how you got it when it happens. Go take a look at ally prices and add up the cost for 20 mil to atk. To say that these bonuses aren't that big is what made me decide to comment in the first place. Some ally LB players may be able to scoff at that bonus, idk because I'm not up there yet, but the rest of the KaW players I'm sure wouldn't mind it. I certainly don't. And one last point, my sword dropped after a month of hitting FoD. The day before I got it, I read cool metal's theory and took his approach. It didn't work first few times but through his and others feedback, I started to figure that activity towards the end of the EB had some impact. A few more EBs and I got it. You go ahead and start saving for the cost of 20 mil bfa. I'm glad to have read cool metal's thread even if it didn't drop for me in the exact same way as he said.
