lol fractal skins

i stopped running fom a long time ago, but id like to share my hilariously infuriating experience with the RNG skins. once i got to a certain point, i had a bank tab of relics and over 100 pristine relics, and was only running fom for the skins.

with over 100 pristine relics (mostly from 38 and 48) i had totaled 8 weapons.
3 longbows (lol only 2 classes can use LB)
1 shield (sitting on my war never used)
2 rifles (1 sitting on war, 1 sitting in bank)
2 torches (1 sitting on GRD never used, 1 in bank)

just ran 48 again for lulz…. got a 3rd torch… i pinged it in team chat and my team burst out laughing because they knew how kittening dumb and yet not surprising at all it was. the best part? i only use torch on 1 class, and for that class i have the legendary torch. so i have 1 rodgort, 3 torches, and only 3 classes can use torch. GG

now that is some pathetically kitten luck i know. for a long time i was raging about it but now its just so pathetic its funny.

i cant roll my eyes hard enough. rng fractal skins can go kitten themselves.

anyone else have hilariously enraging stories about fractals they’d like to share?

dunno 210+ pristine and still waiting to get 2nd dagger and 1st sword (i need dagger thhe most btw beacuse there are no good dagger skin in Whole game).

4 rifles (i have a mesmer and an ele >____>)
2 staffs (that wouldn t even be that bad if it wasn t the worse fotm skin without particle effect)
2 torchs
1 hammer
1 axe
1 pistol
1 GS
1 dagger (drop on my birthday XD and the one i wanted more)
1 trident
1 shield

etc etc etc ab still no 2nd dagger

Well i also throw all rares i get and craft with mats i drop in forge and i still have to see a precursor so :/

Seems 38-48 drop % are better since patch so i didn t give up yet.
On the other hand having to wait 30 mins for a fotm 38+ party is depressing….

Seems many gave up on it…and playing them daily i have no doubt its not only due to karka events

last patch was quite a mockery to fotm players….if only they changed dredges to get trollfaces i would have accepted it.

beyond 40 it should be raining skins. for kittens sake, they require you to get to level 40(or 20 for lower chances) in fractals which takes a kittenton of time, they are ACCOUNT BOUND, and are RANDOM. and it’s the hardest content in the game……….

but actually at 40 it rains skins after last patch or should be just a coincicence…..

And actually its almost harder a 26-30 than a 38-48 due to inexperience of some payers joining.

I run fotm 48 3 times after the pre-last patch, not Southsun, the F&F Molten dungeon patch, and got 3 skins. That’s 1 skin per run. I haven’t run any other 48s yet but I will run more soon. Also, I got 2 rings, both infused, and the whole party also got a skin after each run (except one person on one run) that’s a grand total of 14 skins in 3 runs with the exact same 5 people, over 3 days. Too bad NONE of us got the skin we actually wanted (coincidence? :P)

I run 48 countless times before and I had the grand total of ONE skin from it… now with the 3 skins I got in my last 3 runs I have 4, the rest of my “regular” group agrees that skins drop with a very very high chance at 48. Unless they “fixed” it, with the Southsun patch, I haven’t run 48 after Secrets of Southsun went live.

so as i suspected they indeed fixed drop rates…

COnsider than before patch i used to drop way more at 20 than 30+ like maddoctor said…

After some tries post patch (molten) i stop running 20 for 38-40.
I can t run many 40+ because you know “i don t have a warrior nor a guardian”….so waiting hours to get a party is not fun…

Only played FotM on my Thief. Got the following:

Dagger (first ever 20 run, shocked and amazed)
Pistol (22 run the next day, even more shocked and amazed)
Shortbow (first 28 run, mind blown)
Greatsword (meh)
Rifle (influenced me to finally roll Warrior after I put it off, to put the GS + Rifle on her)
Focus (gave to ele)
Rifle (not rolling an Engineer – salvaged it)

I got all those weapons within the space of 3 weeks from the Dagger. After that, all weapon drops went completely dead. It’s been 5 months and since then, I’ve just got nothing but rings. Currently almost 2 bank tabs of the stupid things.

So yeah, ALL my luck congregated in to a short space of time, then disintegrated.

Just finished fractal nr. 491, most fracs between 28-48. Result: 1 shortbow….an absolute must have for a mesmer :-(. That´s frustrating and senseless. Hope they change that soon. Couple of 48 runs didn´t make a difference.

1 Hammer
1 Rifle
2 Spear
3 Trident
1 Focus
3 Shortbows

The only ones I’m actually using are the hammer and 1 spear though…. someone in my guild got a 4th torch last night, gg.

Wish I could trade some of the useless ones in.

I guess the real question is: does ANYONE find the fractal skin drop rate acceptable?

I find it acceptable if there was a way to trade, even if it was 2:1

I guess the real question is: does ANYONE find the fractal skin drop rate acceptable?

Id like to go on record here and say that I really like how hard it is to get fractal skins.

I’ll probably get some hate for it but when you look at it this way, frac skins are the only cool looking skins that cant simply be BOUGHT by every player who for whatever reason has a ton of gold and means that if you do have frac weps, especially a set for a character, it really tells people that you probably invested a lot of time/effort to get those skins.

In fact I see more people with legendary weps these days than fractal skins, and that honestly makes me happy because I can use these somewhat exclusive skins on my characters and no one can just throw out 50g and instantly get what I had to really grind to acquire.

Yes it is quite annoying when you get a ‘useless’ or repeat skin, (I still havent got a gs :/ ) but that just make it that much more exhilirating when you finally do get a skin you really want
