PSA: Ace dungeons have a chance to drop Improved dark shark feedstocks

    I was surprised when I found out that ace dungeons can drop improved dark shard feedstocks now. There wasn't any patchnotes about it.


    It's really nice because doing Lilith literally takes 2 seconds and you can do it 3 times per day. It has a pretty high chance to drop feedstocks (about 66% I'd say). Same with other ace dungeons.

    I'm doing Lilith and the arena every day now and maybe some other ace dungeons when normal dungeon queues won't pop up.


    It's an easy way to farm gold or feedstocks if you need them to enchant your weapons.


    EDIT: There is a double loop event going on so your chance of getting good loot is doubles even in ace dungeons, ghillie, etc!

    Not sure why you're lying about that its drop pretty often or has a 66% chance to drop - when in reality its maybe at best like 5-10% chance but yeah - its at least somewhat useful if you have nothing else to run anymore.

    Done.

    i would say you are pretty lucky, i did 6 runs and got nothing but xp scrolls ...

    "The current Double Dungeon Loot will be replaced with a double drop event for all Dungeons that will run until 02.02.2021 at 09:00 CET (03:00 AM CET)"


    With today's maintenance ace dungeons also have double loot! So you get double the chance to get good loot. Good luck!

    Maybe I was just lucky? I constantly got feedstocks. Well, since today there is double loot chances for ace dungeons so that's even better!

    just a lucky drop . got 2 imp wep from all aces, echo , arena and pit.

    but as these dungeons take little time (max 30 mins to do all?) i guess it can be a nice extra source

    I don't believe Ace is counted in that, as I still only get 2-3 items, which is the same amount you get in a normal run, with no Double-Drop running.

    If you're playing on NA servers, the double drop for Ace dungeons is not working there. I tested it both on Velik and Mystel.

    Nope, the chances are horrible, is far from 66%, you were just lucky. All 3 ace dungeons + celestial arena has a terrible drop per energy usage when compared to any dungeon. Even doing them just bc is faster i dont think its worth since the drop is so low. Pit and echoes are even worse...

    Yeah I think I was just lucky with my first few tries. Not the chance dropped to around 40% I'd say. Sorry for the misinformation!

    after patch I have done ACE and Solo Instances with 2 characters. This means 60 tries in the past 2 days and I only got 4 improved feedstock from them. If those instance were bad enought for the past 2 years now they are just a waste of time. For the ammount of coins you spend of them better use them on GV. At least if you dont get improved feedstocks you may get your hands on something more useful than a handful of skill advanced scrolls, like Tier 4 etchings for gear or Tier 2 etchings for Accesries.


    Oh, and GG droping Scout gear and Ethereal materials... isnt this a premium dungeon for GameForge? What a joke.


    Something even more dumb are the contents on the ACE medal shop or Island of Dawn token shop, between other token shops. I dont know what devs have in their heads but sure a brain is not the case. How they cant get in their minds that Glyphs in those token shops are meaningless when you get all your glyphs handed at level 65 when you claim your Kaia gear and you get again enought glyph tokens for that from your Apex quest...


    TERA dev team just should be fired and get a new group of devs, TERA is in a mess not only at end game but in all content right now.

    :elin31:

    I was gathering drop data from all sources of improved before the double event depending on my sanity. All 3 starters dungeons gives around 10 times more improved by energy spent compared to all solo instances and that considering the chance of getting the improved in each roll on a party of 5.

    Perhaps if Ace dungeons got the double loot event in NA like the the EU then it would be worth it. but the event is half over and NA still don't have double loot event for that.

    Not really, i didn't included in the post but i did in fact tested drop rate on every single place it says it drops. Ace dungeons and celestinal arena tends to drop 10 times less then GV. Pit and echoes it's basically a zero drop
