Description

Anyone else feel like heralds and/or drop rate has suddenly plummeted? Have done full Act clears and only seen one
Herald
, maybe two? I used to be able to get to T5 Heralds inside of an act clear?

Thanks! Maybe I just been some encouragment after having terrible luck the last week or so when running
5

Can be used to make Runewords:

They're just as bad as ever.
Sometimes you get unlucky. Other times you get even more unlucky. :P

My sunder drop rate with heralds has been consistent all ladder. Zero point zero (in Dean Wormer's voice).

Based on my experience you were extremely lucky all season :)

I had more Heralds when I was level 85-92..the moment I got stronger and started clearing a bit faster I can't draw the ire that easily (thats all happening in past 3-4 weeks).

Now someone might say "rng" or whatever...well if it is rng then fuck my luck.

I know I had better
Herald
spawn rate because it was highly unlikely not to get a
Herald
to spawn from the current server terrorzone. Even
Travincal
could draw an ire (but not spawn). And now, I can't draw an ire through stuff like
Tal Rasha's Tomb
or i don't know
Dry Hills
...where I had 100% chance to draw an ire when I was weaker. And possibly get to lvl 2
Herald
, sometimes even 3.

I agree with Reinhardus Vulpus above. I've never gotten to T5 Heralds just by clearing a single act.

So, give your luck a well-deserved rest, it'll return in time ;-)

Last week I couldn't get a
Herald
to spawn for the life of me. I thought heralds were broken.

Today I got six T5 heralds in a row.

Will take perfect amethysts, keys or tokens for most of my trades

I made the same decision after doing act 1 and 2 tz 2 times in a few days got a few T5 heralds, but the chance to get a sunder at T5 is 1/60 ?, and thought to myself, this is a complete waste of time.

The way i thought about the chance of getting 1 was.... sometimes when im unlucky farming keys, i do 30 runs to get 1
Key
when the chance is 1/12, what if i am unlucky with getting sunder, it could be 1 out of 200 T5 heralds before getting 1.... no ty.....

I havent tried to farm heralds after that,

RNG mate...
Last week I used a shard to TZ act 1. I did ALL the zones, and I had to wait Catacomb level 3 to get the first
Herald
... felt like nosense.
Yesterday I had 4 heralds in 2 zones only...
RNG...

Yeah, you've just been getting really lucky then. :p
I've run countless of full TZ clears without a single ire from the start.
You can get 1-2 or if you're lucky even 3 from a single TZ clear. But more often than not it'll be 0 instead.

Been running a fair bit of public shards lately just for the XP and the ire/
Herald
rates really don't feel any different. Sometimes you go through an entire act with nothing. Sometimes (rarely) you get 3 back to back. Most times you get a handful per act (at least for acts 1 + 2, less so in the smaller acts).

I actually had a
Herald
spawn teleporting down to
Andariel
TZ without killing a single monster, it spawned down at
Andariel
as i entered after teleporting.

is that a bug? it was fresh game solo made and it just spawned, no messages of 'you draw the ire of a
Herald
' first

Your merc probably took out a random elite as you teleported past without you even noticing.
Happens every once in a while.

But i never got any you draw the ire of a
Herald
, and i doubt my merc hit any.

It hasn't changed.

We get a few run where no heralds spawn, and some where we get to T5 just in 2 areas such as
Tal
+Catacombs.

I cant tell if its truly random or seeded. If we clear an area on rotation and get 2il or 3 ires we usually shard the world and do well.

If we just randomly shard a world its usually hit or miss.

I just treat it as opportunity to gain exp.

Its just BS when occasionally you get heralds that 1 shot you

I was just thinking the spawn rate was particularly good today so I went and checked patch notes haha.

I had heralds spawn twice when Durance was TZ, and I wasn't even trying to get them. I typically just zoom to Meph and new game bcuz Dolls X|.

Then, I drew ire twice in
Great Marsh
with no Heralds. Took WP to
Cold Plains
and as soon as the zone loaded the
Herald
was right on top of me. Cleared
Cold Plains
and went down into the Cave and another
Herald
w/o drawing any ire.

It's just RNG being a cruel mistress.

Is that 1/60 drop chance on p1 or p8? I've never seen a single sunder drop

Really? I do full clears of an Act though, which idk if that would effect it? From hearing other people's experiences, some have had even better luck than me! xD

I'm saving all my shards for use after the play test and the final patch hits afterwards. I'm not wasting 5 - 10 hours of farming for little to none chances of a sunder dropping, I'll simply wait and use the old ones until then.
