Their ultra rare, not rare. I doubt any zone / mob has more of a chance to drop one. Maybe even more than ultra rare. I would consider merc gear rare and those drop semi regularly.
I am well aware they are "ultra rare" but they are referred to as EoK rares or chase loot.
Merc gear drops like candy, unless I'm special, so not so "rare". 5 pieces in 8 hours from nameds doing hunter.
Odd post. You would be lucky to get an ultra rare farming for 3 weeks straight, 24/7 with a single group. That's it. The brutal truth.
So not true. I have a camp setup in the CoTF expac that I use to PL my new toons. I get atleast 1 rare, sorry "ultra rare" every 3 or 4 days. Granted, I can destroy the zone so I cycle through mobs like a tornado, so that helps.
Trying to get more pertinent information about chase loots, sorry this post seems odd to you.
EoK Chase Loot has the same chance to drop as any rare. I think its around 1 per 5k kills, could be a little bit higher though. The key is kill speed and time, I have seen the same piece of chase loot drop in every zone so far.
That's the information I was wanting confirmed. Thank you for that.
Not sure about any zone or area that is more likely to drop it than not and with it being "ultra rare", not even sure how someone can speculate any one area over another. That being said, it's all about how much you kill and your kill rate. So you'll want zones/areas with the easiest mobs to kill as well as plentiful mobs so that you're always killing. So FM, Lcea would be better than Chardok, simply because the mobs have less hitpoints and are much easier to kill quickly as well as being something like a 5 minute respawn, not to mention wide open zone and super easy pulls vs Chardok where the mobs have more hitpoints, hit harder and unless you got a really good area, you can run out of mobs and your team is just waiting on respawn.
Thank you also for added information.
AND THE POINT of the post was confirmation on what others are talking about their being "hot zones" that seem to have a better chance to drop EoK rares, sorry "ultra rares". I have experience getting chase loots like the ones in CoTF and I am basing the drop rate in EoK based on that. To me and my personal opinion the EoK are even more rare or they seem to be. I have not afk farmed chase loots in EoK. I will have to check my loot files because something seems off based off of the actual information that I have gathered being in CoTF.
For example, on Zam it is stating that a Di`zok watcher drops the
Golden Knight's Belt
People in general chat were also talking about LC dropping a higher percentage of chase loots. Probably for the reasons Casca pointed out.
I'm not trying to get them to make plat or cash, I'm just a equip/stat hungry SOB warrior. haha
I am trying to confirm this type of information. Thanks for all your feedback tho.
Also if anyone has any personal experience where they looted chase loots or from which mob (if you actually know). That would also be superb.
OH, and I wanted to say that there is someone on my server that has about 10 pieces of chase loot that they got farming, so unless he killed 50k mobs in EoK, something's askew. I can verify that he has them as I have used them for the item AA buffs, unattuned, and gave back.
