Some recurring themes in my commentary this year: you need good descriptions in these things to bring them to life. This 2013 collection also include the winning entries from 20, which I’m not reviewing because OH MY GOD this is a lot of work. They are an excellent collection of adventures and idea seeds to riff off of and steal from, if not use outright. I buy a lot but I keep almost none of it. The others are of various qualities, however this is, without a doubt, one of my must-keeps every year. This is obviously way better drop rate than running 17 looters BUT RNG is RNG and this could just be a fluke.The winning entries this year are all pretty strong, with many of them usable & interesting right off the page. Went back to Sethekk Halls and (using a new loot technique I won't share yet as still testing - might be false information) I have so far looted 4 epics in 132 runs (33 runs: 1 epic). The other received no epic drops in 200~ runs.Ĭompleted 112 clears of Durnholde Keep (61-63 mobs per clear) One also only looted epic patterns in 200 runs of Mana Tombs. I have also consulted two other farmers on NA servers. Either they really are extremely rare - or not on SH/MT (edited due to forensic shithousery) loot tables. I am still hesitant to say that epics can't be looted here because I have yet to loot one on my high level - which seems odd considering the number of runs completed. I know that there are reports of The Night Blade being lootable from these dungeons, but I believe these were acquired using Junkboxes. I have almost come to the conclusion that TBC epics are not currently lootable from Auchindoun dungeons on a 17. These are the epics I received (they were all looted on level 17s in TBC Chromie Time):. Even 20s don't tend to loot trash there when boosted for gear, and levellers rarely stay if they're 'unlucky' enough to get it through LFD. I suspect that there is almost nobody that has farmed/looted Hillsbrad effectively (for obvious reasons.). My instinct was that OH was the highest but I haven't tested it. Note: I have seen conflicting information regarding Old Hillsbrad online. 345 Sethekk Halls (0 TBC chromie time used for 61 runs, x2 TBC chromie time used, before switching to 4)Īfter doing Mana Tombs 101 times & clearing AC 15 times and getting 0 epics, I switched and settled on SH as it was previously the highest level dungeon (65) currently available to level 17s.101 Mana Tombs (no TBC chromie time used).In total I have completed the following:. Its also worth killing the last boss at the top of the stairs - this allows your 17s to collect loot from the mailbox! If you want to do this farm you will have to kill the Time-lost Controller's as you go - they will MC you and kill your 17s otherwise.

Sethekk Halls took me 4 minutes to collect, kill, loot, reset and re-enter the dungeon on all 5 chars. I used a level 46 Druid with a speed set (193% movement speed in Cat form) to boost 4x level 17s in various Chromie Times. To farm efficiently I decided to run Mana Tombs, Sethekk Halls & 15~ Auchenai Crypts (world farming has also yielded no results for me at level 17). We know there is a method to obtain them as a Blade of Wizardry Req 18 i27 exists, as well as reports of a Russian(?) player with Singing Crystal Axe. This time I turned my attention to TBC in the hope of finding a source for epic weapons.
