Description

I´ve done 67 Nihlathak runs on Hell so far. Sometimes even when it was a Terror zone. I have found not a single Key.....
Am I missing something?

A single Destruction Key drop is supposedly 1 in 13.03 for player one.

Rates and chances only even out over very large datasets / runs.

I gave up on actively farming keys after many similar experiences that you've described ;0

Probably not. Just a bad streak of RNG.

you won the anti-lottery...

my stats is very rusty but i get 0.007 chance of no Key

I know the chances are slim, but the total is 72 runs now.
But thanks for the answers.
At least I know I´m not doing anything wrong......

Activily trying to farm keys made the game too frustrating for me as the drop rate felt too low so I stopped trying. And of course, now that I don't try, I get them more often when doing TZ's.

so I should just stop farming them and only run Nihlathak if it´s a Terror zone.
Actually thought about that already. I generally have the feeling, that as soon as you look for something, it definetely won´t drop anymore

Well, it feels that way because you're tracking it. Whereas otherwise it's just a nice surprise.

Emotional state is relevant, though. If it gets frustrating, you should definitely do something else, get back to it later.

yeah, that´s right

When I want to run Ubers from time to time I farm for keys.
I play offline Single Player on P8 and sometimes it takes many runs to get one Key, either from Nihlathak or The Summoner. If you play online on P1 it's even worse.
From The Countess I have a full stash from running her for runes.

My statistic is 3-6 dkeys from 60-70 runs through one hour TZ Halls. So you obviously had some really bad luck, but it should even out eventually:)

I often try to run Nithlathak in public games to get better odds. Obviously number of runs is lower then, but at least it's less boring as I join others in WSK, CS or cows before next game.

I have had days where I ran many hours and not gotten keys. Then other days I get them every other run. My best streak so far is getting a Key 3 runs in a row. When I have a bad run of keys I just log off for the day, or work on something else, like levelling or something. Maybe do some cows/tower caller 1-4 for runes.

I am available for trading every other week, limited trading on my off week.
Thanks for understanding.

Is the chance of a drop higher, when it´s a tz?

I don't think so. It's the RNG God who's in control.
7
No, only number of players matters. For me TZ is just good motivation to actually try farm dkeys:)

Really bad luck of rng

I farm nihlatak often, dont think i got to 40 runs with no keys yet, but had some bad luck and good luck drops too, and i just found 1 after about 6-8 runs today so far.
7
really bad luck 4 you....

To make opposite .... I already found 13 Key in a 1 hours TZ farm :D
7
Wow! haha, nice:)
Was it in singleplayer/lobby p8?

online single player ... RNG is RNG... also make 1 hour TZ run with only 2 keys ...

Double Key drop are also very cool to see. never got a triple Key drop. I think it can happen
