I've gotten 7 artefacts, 3 combat 4 life skill and 21 lighstones mixed between all 4 types. Some guildies even completed monster dmg sets and the +400% combat exp yeterday. You dont think youre jumping the gun a bit complaining about the droprates on day 2 after their release?

What magic server do you play on?  I'm a member of an XL guild with 30+ active lifeskillers and NO ONE in our guild has seen a lifeskill artifact drop yet.

There are always those with un explainable gifted account RNG.. always 1st to get  everything when 90% of the rest of the playerbase get shit on.

There answer is always "see it's so easy you guys just are not working hard enough"

My guld is 99 ppl currently so a little larger pool to get lucky outliers I guess.

I've gotten the Sethra's Artifact - Gathering item drop rate and 3x of the Gathering mastery +10.

Seen a lot of hunting exp/mastery, trading exp/mastery and gathering related ones linked in chat today aswell and many of us did boss scroll runs yesterday which dropped quite a lot of combat artefacts. I got all evasion, monster dmg reduction and melee AP.

I was arguing the same point about the guarantee PEN gear..

People were quiting becouse of RNG then when everyone heard that you can bypass the RNG to find that to get there required more silver than most can grind relatively fast but the biggest issue was BMC's/magic shards being absolutely un availability with 13k pre orders..

I mean they can be had now BUT IT IS WAAAY TO LATE. Players left 2 to 3 days after they realized they got burned yet again into buying cron for Tavula to be gated by both crystals and BMC let alone they double stacked 2 Methods I.E. accessory with same mats..

So I 100% agree with your thoughts.

I've never been against grind as long as it gives me progress in a reasonable time.

Today it took me 4 hours to get 15 of these event crystals for the quest. I was forced to kill mobs, although I'd rather get it from fishing or gathering. Because I don't like waste my time I went to blood wolves (one hit fast kill and drop this mini treasure parts). Question: how much did I get in 4 hours? 3. 2 in the first hour, 0 in the second, 0 in the third and 1 in the fourth. So we have ratio not even 1 per hour. With node lvl 10 and 50% drop event. So it takes 150-200 hours to get 100. And that's only one part! Absurd! Next case. In these 4 hours I obtained 8 complete anniversary items. EIGHT! On average, for 14 hours of fishing, I get 1, maybe 2. Look at the enormous disproportionate there is.
And of course, once I had 13 of these event crystals, someone HAD TO come and attack me.

Thus far Artifacts are a VERY low chance, i would personally say they are someplace between accessories and Rare like Map peice's.

avg is around ~5-7 hours turos for 1 But also that was with this 50% drop rate event , 50% tent buff and 50% old moon and a drop scroll when this event is over they will be extreemely rare.

Oh , thankfully im not the only one. I thought maybe it was just me . Did five hours yesterday and didnt get any. Was just checking if maybe i made a mistake. I was expecting the drop rate of yellow grade accessories like disto , moon nails for revived neck  :(

Well , they should say what your chance is. Treasure items understandable but actual drops should have a chance % in guides or something

Wow you grind slow, 4 hours to get that little amount of caphras and dust?  That should be a 1 hour total for caphras and dust.  How much trash did you get in that 4 hours?
