Black Knights

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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