Just got the fractal rifle in 38. Guess it’s time to make an engi :O

You’re quite lucky with skins, huh? Congrats!

16 run streak without a bonus end reward, going strong. Maybe I’ll reach a streak of 20.

omfg ;_; Meanwhile, I’m at 32 runs in a row without anything.

This so you can realise how kittened and skewed the fractal drops are.
Levels get increasingly harder and the rewards have barely any shift from 30 to 40 to 50

^ This. We just got terribly lucky, I don’t believe rewards should be like that, it’s a joke that I got my 4th fractals skin and many people who run fractals for months now don’t get crap.

Thanks, One Note Chord. Interesting that 31-40 is the best range for fractal weapon skin drops. How big was the sample size?

Not huge, but not completely awful either.

ANET PLEASE, PLEASE, remove the drop of rings on 30+ lvls. It’s disgusting, how much time you spent on high level fractal to get ring that you don’t need. The fact you are doing 30+ lvls makes obvious that you have all rings and you don’t need more. (Even if you do, you can buy them for 10 pristine cause I bet you have tons of those.) Please anet, I just can’t make myself do another fractal for this crappy reward system at all.

Now now, let’s not be overexaggerating here. Only if it benefits the players.

Like my patience and trust in them <.<

Hey, remember when they did that CDI and we all told them fractal rewards sucked? I’m sure glad we put so much time into that thread.

hmmm, well, i don’t mind getting rings, but i hate getting nothing, and also, as i might have mentioned in a comment sometime before, i feel like rings should be worth 50 silver to pawn off, that 4 something silver is kinda terrible i mean, ascended weapons go for 1 gold at least, and i could say the same thing for ascended armors too, what if you loot some type you would never want to use? 2 silver and 40 copper for an armor you don’t need, that is terrible, it should be at least 75 silver or something :/
though i do think that by the 41+ fractals, armor and weapons should have a higher rate than this statistics imply, i just don’t think you should be looting an armor piece every run, lol.

oh the feels of getting a skin you actually want
Picked up the axe on lvl 36 today, pretty happy.

Where did you get that? Certainly not from fractal, after 100+ lvl 40+ with no skins, I can confirm they don’t drop from fractal.

UPDATED FOR THE 5/20 PATCH!

Like I needed another ring. Anet, please. -.-

my record after may 21st patch

similar to other’s data, if you wanna farm fractal weapon skin go for 31-40 and as for ascended chests go for 49/50.

Dat 25%-40% chance of nothing…

I think my chance of “nothing” went up to like 60-70%, because at least 2-3 months passed without me getting more than a few rings and… the rest… yeah, just empyreal fragments.
NOT EVEN DRAGONITE, EMPYREAL FRAGMENTS!!!

Level 50: nothing. Level 38: Longbow

Finally. After a streak of 33 runs which gave me nothing, I finally got something worthwhile; a Raider’s Chest of Ascended Boots.

Now for another streak of no rewards…

Thanks!

I can’t believe it, my friend and I thought “kitten it, yolo” and did 38 on top of that. I actually got a fractal axe from there (after a 19min Mai Trin… ugh, dead people left and right. Why do people think Longbow is so great vs. her?). Even though I have that skin already and would prefer the Mace, I guess I shouldn’t complain after that drought. :P

nice mate :-) i am happy you got something worthwhile

Thanks. For once I’m actually curious again to see what I get in my daily chests today, even though it’s kinda foolish.

I have actually been getting good rewards these last two weeks. I got 4 ascended armor chests and 2 fractal weapon skins. The two skins were a fractal mace and a warhorn.

Also, I just now got an Ebonmane’s weapon chest with Apothecary stats. I had to do the level 50 legendary imbued shaman this run though. The weapon stats aren’t anywhere close to berserker, but has a nice ascended white skin that I might actually transmute for an axe for the look.

I run either fractals 49 or 50. I should be happy right? Wrong, since only one of those armors are berserkers and in general what is the point of getting the best stats for armor in the game if they are not the stats you want? The pristine relic system or the mystic forge should allow you get the stats you want if you have a base chest of another type.

Coming up on 350 pristine (spent about 60), still no mace here =(

I refuse to believe there’s a 10% droprate on fractal weapon skins.

It’s somewhere between 2-9%.

Swap the 0 and the 1 and put a dot between them.

i play daily 49-50.

Its been 3 months i don t see a skin. (well btw i need only warhorn and speargun to finish the collection).
