Double remnant weekend was double middle finger.

All weekend long, each stack of remnants was 2-6 remnants.  I already have 10's of thousands, so it's not even that i need them necessarily, but is this a stunt to try to get people to buy that super-awesome box?  This made me not want to spend the energy to stop and click on them.

Otoh, this does fit the m.o. of turdbine, double the drops, but make each stack a fraction of what people used to get.

I think people that regularly run elite and EE at level have spare thousands.
Those that don't, no bonus is gonna help them.

What I am looking for is seeing people running the Remnant Bonus pots.  And then LOL at them for buying the Tard Turd Trunk.

Post your screenshots of the idiot moron retards with remnant boosts here.

On EE, I got 60-70 remnants in a single click several times.  I'd say the median was between 12-18 remnants.  On EH, it was 2-6 remnants.  Try running harder difficulties.

I think all in all I grabbed close to 1000 remnants this weekend.  They took it down before I could trade in my remnants for a mysterious cloak, though.  I'll have to wait till next time.

I overlook 80% of the remnants (both consciously and unconsciously). The ones I pick up are always 2-3.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

That's about right.  Elite gives a good amount.  Whenever I run Hard or Normal it's utter garbage drops.

I assume you haven't seen anyone running around with- hmm, i don't know, hundreds of hours of XP, Renown and slayer bonus?

I wonder if the remn pots are in the daily rolls list.
Just need 1 and i'd be set for life.  Cheesy

Ahh.  This is it then. I always do EE, but working on crap destinies this weekend and wanting fast, first time eh bonus, so wasn't doing my usual EE runs. I didn't realize the drops were radically less on eh.
Nvm, nothing to see here. Move along.  Roll Eyes

Of course we have, don't be silly.

But as for Remnant pots, the only source is the Tard Trunk, and they remain bound.
Hence we must publicly shame anyone running with remnant pots until and unless that changes.

On friday night I had 3200 and by saturday night I hadf 4600. I just farmed the hallway with zombies in HH on EE for about an hour. People came and went from my group. I averaged about 11 remnants per stack, some as low as 2, some as high as 65.

I was raiding a fair amount this weekend.  Raiding = no remnants.  I wasn't really super motivated by the remnants weekend.

I don't mind remnants.  I mind the whole "gotta click on them" stupidity.  Just give me the damn things when I kill the mob.

It's been awhile since I did the analysis on this, but unless they have changed them, the remnant tokens when clicked on deliver 1-40 remnants, with the table weighted towards 1-10, and 11-40 seems to be on a sub table with a 10-15% chance of occurring.

Double remnant weekends used to drop double tokens, but still the same amount of remnants.  Have they changed that?

It does not double the drop it doubles the chance to drop.

I've got 3 different lvl cloaks so its not like ireally give shit...but I did get a lot of remnants despite only playing for few hours over the weekend. I think Ash nailed it.... If you run nothing but elite content you will already have remnants coming out of your ears. If you don't,no amount of potions is going to help you.

I didn't get any more than ~20 from a stack or chest. Most were single digits.

I was running EE new stuff.

Ok I stand corrected.
So double the chance of a token appearing.

Still should only be 1-40 remnants per token though.
When the guys were saying they saw 65+ I thought maybe they had changed it to double the number of remnants, which was considered too hard at one stage because it involved re-coding.

From http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Mysterious_Remnant.

"On Elite, Monster Champions typically drop 1-20 Mysterious Remnants with a rare chance of up to 80."

I can confirm this is accurate.  While running missions on non-bonus periods, you generally get 5-15 remnants but occasionally you'll hit the jackpot and get 50+.

Then that has definitely changed.
Early on it used to be 1-40.
They must have recalibrated based on the whinging on the forums.

But now they seem to drop far less often. Even on EE orange crowns only seem to give a chest between 33-50% of the time. This is anecdotal and just from me farming a few hours this weekend, so a rough guess.

I farmed TOEE part 2 for little awhile and I too noticed the token/chest drop rate seemed pretty ordinary.  Much lower than the quoted rates, or I was just unlucky.
Fortunately, after the fun period of remnant farming, I don't even need to worry about remnants anymore though.

33% chance to drop chest or remnants (and 66% during Double Remnant events) (Vargouille)
