countess is broken ?

hello dear all

i'm currently wondering if countess is still able to drop

Terror keys.
Indeed, i'm very familiar with

Terror

Key farming, and usually the odds look to work more or less (1/13.6 if my reading is correct).
Here i have done 125 countess runs so far, and yet absolutely no

Key.
My calculation show odds of around 0.004% chances that 125 runs could lead to no

Key drop.

do you guys have any feedback about that ?
Has anyone farmed

Terror keys on the last couple of days ? is she broke(n) ?

Thank you per advance

I've found some over the past few days. I'm afraid that it's just RNG.

Sometimes it works in your favour and sometimes it doesn't. Although that is a very unlucky streak.

I actually gave up trying to farm keys for this reason, it appears the chances of getting them are so low, it's hardly worth trying. I still do farm her for runes, which to me, any rune is a good rune.

Thank you for your feedbacks guyz. I m quite surprised as countess and I are a quite old couple, and usually she doesnt hold my luck for more than 40 turns (maximum), but this time she looks rly broken .
Maybe it is just rng then, though i have calculated around 1 chance over 25k that no

Key drops for 125 turns.
I ll leave her for a while maybe she will feel more generous in few days . I ll keep you posted when i ll find a

Key

Finally got the

Key, at the 128th run !!

Hmm... And I thought I've been unlucky for well over a week with these keys. Tried different characters with various levels of MF from 0 to 300+ only to encounter the same result - no

Key for me...

No,

The Countess is not broken. This season I've personally gotten far better than the 1/13 keys from her overall. However,

The Summoner has been really cheap with me this season. I've done roughly the same number of Countess and Summoner runs this ladder, but my

Terror to Hate

Key ratio is probably 2x or 3x. I haven't been taking notes though, but I've gotten so many

Terror keys that I've used them to buy Hate keys... It's all just RNG.

I never farm Countess for keys only Summoner and Nihlatak

Summoner because i like

Arcane Sanctuary and Nihlatak because its insanely fast run and can trade Destruction

Key 1 to 1 for a

Terror

Key ( My thought process is, why farm Countess for

Key, when i can farm Nihlatak 4-5 times in the same Timespan, chance to get a good rune from her is too small, compared to what keys could give you in runetrades from Nihlatak).

I'll never forget my first time farming Summoner, it took me approximately ~130 runs or so for him to drop a

Key for me. Just some really bad luck sometimes with these

Key drops I think.. RNG likes to mess with people in this game!

i'm using a sorceress expecificaly to farm keys and essences, the odds have being great, MF around 240%.

Destruction keys drop most often for me (by a fair margin).

As per ShadowHeart's comment summoner hate keys no bueno.

I hear ya, i remember having 8 keys in my stash for like 50ish runs, it’s rough.

and usually I’m waiting on

The Countess to drop hers, i think only once i;ve been waiting on nylathak,

The Summoner has always been good to me.

128 though… that’d be the worst, that’s on the same order of probability as finding an soj from nightmare Andy on the first try.

If it makes you feel any better i had to drop between 25 & 28 torches before i got an assassin one, and on single player it’s a real morale killer

The game knows when you're target farming and thus never drops said item(s). I get everything I need instantly when not seeking.

Fun, on my side I have decent rates with Countess and Summoner, but

Nihlathak just despises me. I trade for Dkeys usually.

Ditto for me. Last season

The Countess was just not given it up. This season it is

The Summoner.

Nihlathak is fast to farm. A good geared char can farm him in under 1 minute per run.

MF does not effect

Key drops, just like how it doesn't affect rune or essence drops.

I also find D Keys the easiest and fastest to farm. I'm not certain if I'm making my runs in under a minute but a full minute to under 2 minutes I can do.

So I see i m clearly not the only one dealing with random / sometimes rly bad luck.
Indeed Nihlatak is also my favorite, ~35/40 sec per run (feel my ego speaking here lol) for the same drop rates than others, is a very good compromise.
Fun fact also, found 2

Jah on the little flayers farming nihlatak this last months (here no Pride just good fortune), so my heart clearly goes for him : D.
One thing i didnt say either, countess has been rude towards me regarding

Key drops, but she gave me 2

Mal 1

Ist and 1

Pul in the first 50 runs (or maybe

Pul was later), so i can say she is forgiven here ^^
