Major Mnemonics

Just a quick question really - noticed recently that the amount of major mnemonics I've seen in loot has gone waaay down. Wondered if anyone else has seen that? I've been on my Druid though, and I have a sneaking feeling I may have forgotten to untick the end rewards based on character class doo dad.

Does seem like I pull them a lot less regularly in general though.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Wish we still had Rodrak...

They drop a LOT less. I have never had it on my reward list since U19 i think.

I get them with decent regularity.  Especially in epic content.  I start seeing them in GH/Orchard quests on elite when I TR.

Aww, I wasn't panhandling Smiley I just haven't seen many recently. But as I say, I reckon I still have end reward based on class switched on on that toon.

Feather probably did something when he fucked with the loot tables in U19.

Luckily thanks to Just Rewards, arcanes mostly don't need pots.

There should be a ton of Medium Eberron shards floating around that you can turn in for Mnemonic Shard Trinkets. I splurged out on the AH with all the useless plat I had accumulated and bought a few hundred pots around the time Epic Gianthold came out and have barely used any.

Yes I have also noticed that. Used to get them a lot as Vale quest rewards and my recent post-19 TR with 3 rounds of vale did not net me me even one.
Been doing a LOT of EE and I think one dropped in recent memory.
So yea, they seem pretty rare now.

I am net in the low 20s on the druid (just kept what I pulled) but TBH the majority of them were pre the loot table changes.

I am wondering about those loot tables now.

Good tip about the med shards - just a shame it's a trinket. I know that's just the same as a Bauble but it's still a faff..

At least Weapons Shipment nets a bit more XP now!

The last TR I did with a guildie we both noticed that major pots are not dropping in end rewards like they used to. Previously I could have 30 or 40 by the time I hit 25. This last time, I had maybe 5 total. Something most certainly changed.

I used to sell them. Then I was told I was crazy and that I should keep them because I will need them.

I now have about 400.

Could speed and lack of repetition count for some of that?

Pre U19...On average if I do a melee life I'll have about 20 pots I throw in the shared bank by the time I hit lvl 20.

Post U19...I've been averaging about 7 pots by the time I hit 20.

In quest I usually pass pots found in a chest to the healer, but haven't been seeing many of those either.  I even had to ask in guild if there might be a bug because I hadn't seen a Major drop for over a week after U19.

I have seen a huge drop to almost nothing in them from smashing breakables. I used to get about one every week this way and I think I have found maybe one in the last 2 months.

They drop differently too.

They used to fall on the item tables, so you'd get the mana pot in place of your vendor trash. Now they seem to be on the potion tables.

That's why they aren't on end rewards, and same with tomes.

I suspect the actual drop rate is the same. Most mana pots came from end rewards not chests.

Looted a +1 con tome last night WW elite chest. Take that haha!

Out of curiosity, anyone know why +1 and +2 tomes have gone up in AH price?

Plat inflation? Still worthless and common right?

Plat inflation, and I'm guessing a lot of people bought them for their new Iconic characters, which lowered the supply.

There was mysteriously suddenly a bunch of new characters shortly after the duping bug got hotfixed. Mysteriously.

They are definitely rarer than they were, and you need them to use the more common than before upgrade tomes. Again I don't think they changed the drop rate but they removed them from end rewards, and most quests have 5 chests and 10 end reward options - if you always took the tome, you now only get 1/3rd as many.

Also got a +1 tome in elite WW recently.

You can also get BTA 1-2 stat upgrades on silver DD rolls.
