Quote from Dunc

I've had this in the fire islands. Not sure it's been posted that it drops there yet.

Would you be interested in selling? Im looking for 1. Also was this in HM or NM? And chest or drop?

HM, chest. Yes, drop me a pm.

Snake's Envy, req. Blood - Domain of Fear, Nightfall - Chest. (This item can be dyed, but no difference when applied to the skin).

From just 1 run A Chance Encounter.

These also from there

(after a bit of testing...)
the unide trick does work on new mods

Nice! Also you made me do a double take since you also had 5Myst.... xDDD

lol this is willldd

Fox's Greed communing req from Pongmei HM

Not an amazing drop but these feel so rare at the moment, this is only my second drop while chest running quite a bit since the update. I just love the skin and hopefully one day will find a useful one!

Forgot to add, still at the fire islands, undyable, and unsalvagable!

Chestrunning in Gyala Hatchery in HM :

Some observations around enemy levels:

• Nobody's mentioned getting any new skins except etcheds from vaettir (20/26).
• People have reported promotional/preorders from raptors - but are these dropping from nestlings (15/25), or only from the boss (28/30)? Peter Kadar's vid has an hourglass from the boss, and the only promotional skin I got in a couple hours there was too.
• Chance encounter is clearly effective at getting new skins (24/26, 26/28).
• Multiple promotionals in this thread from Chilling Wisps (24/26)
• I have killed a slightly unhealthy amount of HM istan skale (4/22 and 13/24) and seen absolutely nothing new.
• Despite being NM and sharing with a full party, Mallyx waves (28/30) continues to drop me promotionals at a reasonable rate.

I'd be a little interested to hear more observations/ideas about the apparent discrepancy between raptors/vaettirs and chance encounter. Maybe it's time I started recording some actual numbers (ie % of golds that are new skins) too.

At the moment I the best I can come up with is that level a foe would appear in NM is the thing - has anyone had a new drop (except the Tolkano swords) from something that would be level 23 or below in NM?

Not personal, but ive seen a q8 15-21 etched sword drop in a thread here i think, which can only be dropped by lvl 20 or lower afaik

Shaya indeed no new skins on the low levels.

some in eotn region do not seem to have that restriction (I did post a screen of a granite edge 12-17 dmg that dropped from raptors nm).

for the "core" ones the lowest I have seen is a lvl 22, which was posted by xander in here as well. but most stuff comes from endgame (WoC, DoA, Ring of Fire Islands...)

Sorry for not having screenshots, but I've had numerous drops from Boreal chest runs in HM. 2x Quicksilvers / many Fox's Greeds / Tiger's Pride / Peacock's Wrath / all of the Etched Swords.

Importantly, I got a Q11 Darksteel Longbow so they are possible there. I suspect the Glacial Blades are too, but very rare.

So far I've gone through about 750 lockpicks for the above (max retain chance in HM).

i have farmed on shing jea in HM and got no new skins there

Without stirring the pot, we don't know how it was coded, and even less if an error/bug could see a skin with falls too low or in an exceptional situation (zone, monster, etc.). Who knows, an update in the near future will fix this or that drop problem.

Istan Shield very rarely falls, but also falls in torment. Out of +15k chests there, I've only seen it fall 2 times.

Hey,

We can also mention that the known farms in Cantha (mantids and dragon moss) got the same loot table as before.

I tried a lot, and ATM I never saw a new skin.

Someone else have the same conclusion?

This is also my experience (mantids and dragon moss), also 0 new skins in hours casually playing normal mode (where ever I tried, inclusive chests). All new skins I got where from WoC and vaettirs...

sorry, is the Canthan Targe undyeable (as in, dye cannot be applied), or is it dyeable but does not change appearance?

Dyable but doesn’t change appearance sorry!

Also just a note I’ve done quite a lot of nm chests in the desert and jungle of Tyria and had no new skins drop. Only seeing them in hard mode chests.

Was chest running nm in Tasca's Demise and this dropped

I also did a lot of non-woc fac farms in factions and gates of kryta, 0 new skins from foes. Weirdly enough, drops have been confirmed in Vabbi from Skree and obviously eotn foes. I wonder if proph/fac is bugged.

Thanks - though this is a Tolkano sword skin, and those seem pretty different to the promotional/preorder exclusives. Both vaettirs and raptor nestlings seem to drop their respective Tolkano stuff pretty frequently.

I also tried some kaineng mantids and got nothing, but not nearly enough to feel very confident about that.

If dragon mosses (NM/HM level 24/26) also aren't dropping new skins then that would throw the NM level theory out the window. I'd sort of lined that farm quest outside Anjeka's shrine up as one of the next things to try.

But then... why else could the Drakkar djinn be able to drop them, but not vaettir or dragon moss? There's not much between these enemies except that vaettir and moss are going to be much more heavily farmed, and if that's the criteria then the fact Chance Encounter is as good as it is seems pretty messed up.

That this was NM seems interesting. I don't know much about chests, but digging up an old Red post has it sound like anything that both gives TH points and isn't a Shing Jea/Istan/Ascalon HM chest is 24 RE: Chests with Q8 Max Drop Possibilities

That list also has that EotN NM at 24 I think. Maybe if I'm feeling like doing something brainless I'll go break some picks at Boreal NM and see if anything interesting happens! I still don't have maxed titles after all...

both from mirror of lyss hm locked chests

Confirming these can drop in Leadership too (Fire Islands, HM Chest)

If I was doing that I think I'd have renamed my character to "One Trash Mod Truncheon"

Black hawk down! I repeat Black hawk down!!

From Ring of Fire Islands

do we know if Glacial Blade(s) came from a chest or from foes ?

I think there have been multiple reports of glacial blades (dagger type) from Boreal Station chests. Unclear on NM/HM, at this point HM chests seem much safer than NM ones.

I don't think anyone's reported anything about the singular glacial blade yet.

any Soultaker drop yet?

Yes they drop with very low rate in NF.
