there are some notions around the forum that there may
be an ideal time to farm enchant scrolls. short of having
everyone bot-farm a specific boat for 24hrs it would be
near impossible to actually obtain factual data. some other
threads on here have members mentioning having 'bad luck'
followed by the inevitable replies from other members saying
they obtained said ES in the first or second try. im not here
to argue the correlation of luck to drop rate; im here to
collate as much information as possible concerning ES farming.
since coming to this forum and learning how to use the botz,
i can attest to this 'bad luck'. for nearly a week, i obtained
two impending and one two berserker playing ludicrous amounts
of boats that supposedly dropped R9 scrolls. the amount of
bot-farming probably accounted up to 8hrs a day. then this
morning around 4am. valor dropped for me from trampled plains
on the first few runs. i would say less than 10. it also enchanted
at 55%... i would venture this hypothesis:
ES drops are based on time and/or server load. [maybe?]
it would be nice to gather data on times that ARE NOT successful too.
ive never obtained maelstrom. if someone could post their data thatd be
great and if there is enough data, perhaps a decent time-map of what to
play and when could be formed.
TL;DR
-Post Your ES Farming Type, Time and Frequency-
(please use the following format for stats)
Goodness:
Two Moons: Impending : 1/20 [6pmEST.Aug20]
Weeping Queen: Berserker: 1/206 [12amEST.Aug20]
Trampled Plains: Valor: 1/10 [4amEST.Aug24]
StrongBAD:
SourceoftheRumor: Bot-cycle: 150 [9pmEST.Aug21]
BloodPrince: Manually Farmed: 3hrs [7pmEST.Aug23]
--------------------------------------------------
addendum: please refrain from mentioning that [scroll] drops
for you after [x-amount] runs and that if you just used [trick]
that it would work. the point was to gather all the data to
see if the frequency of rare drops correlated to a specific time.
it has been my experience that it does. not that i dont believe
other members but showing [and taking the effort] to collect
the data is more convinving [and helpful] to those of us
whom are inflicted with 'bad luck'.
thanks
