Black Knights

[Maria_Espa]

Many players agree that the Black Knights adventure does not come out as the Black Castle reward,
is it possible that have been removed?

[Amazony]

I do not agree, got a Dark Castle just a week ago.

[MrLecti]

Lvl 52, must have done 100's of adventures (mainly Nords and Black Knights btwn lvl45 - 50) and have yet to receive a building from any of them...for that matter I haven't had a follow up adventure in about two and a half years... Heck I've completed Valiant little Taylor about ten times in the last few weeks and have yet to receive the next adventure...

A few of my guild mates are in the low 30's and have like four Dark Castles. Some of us are just unlucky I guess...

[Roderius]

I think there is a greater problem. There have been few follow-on adventure drops from all adventures. The new Ali's aswell.

[Bluesavanah]

In the past few months, I have seen a huge DROP in follow-on adventure drop rates from FT's and Ali's etc.

I would like to ask fellow gamers whether they have experienced or seen the same. If so, the thought that this may be a bug or BB playing games with drop rates again needs to be talked about.

Your thoughts please.

I had a spell where virtually every ft adventure I did dropped a follow on adv, lasted about 3 weeks and then more or less stopped 2 weeks ago. Mini quests from vlt have also dried up. I put it down to luck personally.

On the subject of DC that's been a low drop rate for ages probably around 0.5%, again just lucky if you get one.

[mrnjau]

I had more than 250 BKs without DC :)

[Alsh]

I had a VLT drop CLT just today. They do definitely still drop but I suspect the rate has changed

[Lunaran]

in the last 4 months I've done at least 500 and have received No special buildings AT ALL, its becoming a bit of a joke actually as for follow up adventures I get them about 1 a month from various adventures but mainly from VLT but still no special buildings kinda sucks too because I am all most level 50 and I haven't seen a special building drop for anyone since I was level 35 on ANY adventure, in fact I thought everyone was telling porkies a while back because people are telling me they got there buildings form adventuring but have yet to see one

[ATHTHEMANIAC]

buildings do drop as i have known fellow guildie's get WT's from rb on a regular basis (every 50 loots or so) while i have done over 700-800 loots and not got 1...
its seem very unfair but as this game is like 80% luck there not a lot that you can do...but suck it up and just plod along....

it just makes me wonder sometime if something is happening on a regular basis can u really call it luck/random ? :P

[ICI35]

I call it bad luck, and i have it alot..
No special building drop like for 2,5 years.
I got 2 white castle when i just started.. but now i just buy them from time to time :(
(yes way overpriced for a free building)

[TheVictorious]

I played over 160-200 BKs (adventure and ls) last 4-5 months and got 0 Dark Castle, the drop rate seems so low, almost impossible to get one.

[lordloocan]

2 years ago dark castles from BK, white castles from SftR and Witch towers from DB were an expected part of the game, now they are as rare as a BB response to a query.

Yes, the odd one drops, as in notes, but in general they no longer appear. The same is true of SLT dropping from VLT. Now on zero from last 12 VLT - oh and 2 quests in that time too. Bad luck.....? Sorry, but the amount of 'luck' you have is also determined by the drop rate and that has been reduced to a tiny level now.

[Sharpielein]

Before the adventure loot rates were changed, I got like 6-8 Dark Castles on my way to level 50.

Ever since ... I got none. And that includes LOTS of lootspots and events. Just for pointers, I got over 30k Saltpeter from doing BK ...

Your not telling us the full story, for example have you had any other FT's drop.

I fell your pain in getting such a small amount of salt for your efforts.

yeah, bad luck. I've played zillions of SFTR and no building yet, even though it's a 1.5%. Oh well, it goes that way sometimes. My wife Diwata has a exotic wood curse - no matter how many BK she plays she always gets exotic wood instead of granite - this has happened some 20 times in a row.

I keep my head low when I say I found granite.

[lordloocan]

12 vlt, zero slt, zero clt, 2 wedding quests.

[lordloocan]

13th vlt, still no clt/slt but woohoo got panda, might open a bottle to celebrate

[Dracul_1]

Its a RNG so there is no guarantee no matter how many times you complete the adventure.

Perhaps a luck modifyer should be added for the rare items.

+1 per completion until you have 100 then its guaranteed to drop

just a thought.

[TheVictorious]

like 9 or 11 BLT no woodcutters ! its like 16.5% change ?
this is odd :)

have to agree havent seen a single woodcutter and i been doing a blt a day and swapping the ls

The figure being quoted here show just how over inflated the loot spots are on these adventures.

[Xibor]

Just for the record, just heard from Diwata that she just picked up a castle from BK. So they do indeed still drop.

Now of course I have to hear all about it and have it shown to me when I get home...
