Q:

So I’m just about done with this collection, but I’m missing the shaft.

My question is if anyone knows if the shaft is only available after the meta is complete or if I can get it from the one or two pods that I can find lying around Dragon’s Stand?

A:

If you have the collection open there is a chance it will drop from a random pod even in a non-meta map; I got one of my pieces that way when I was going for torch and warhorn at the same time. The end reward chest is the most sure way, however.

Sadly, the machined collectibles are only available in Noxious Pods after a successful meta completion.

On the plus side, they’re pretty common to get after a successful run. On the downside, its a total waste of time for a single item.

To save time, you’re better off doing a few of the machined weapon collections and trying to get them all in one go.

The machined weapon parts can be gained from the meta event chest, at an almost 100% rate after you unlock the collection.

^This though it is worth noting that if you are trying to get multiple collections done at once, you can only get one at a time.

Finished my machined collection couple of weeks ago as i really wanted the title and also the weapons fit well with my asura revenant.
My last part was for the hammer which i got after completing DS.
Good Luck Ryuu.

Sadly, the machined collectibles are only available in Noxious Pods after a successful meta completion.

Actually there are anywhere from 3-9 pods available at any stage of the map, Even the empty ones. You just need to look around for them. There usually will be at least 1 or 2 in the south lane, Other lanes are harder to look for as they’re more open.

I got some machined collection items from opening pods on maps while the meta’s going. It doesn’t have to be successful. There’s about 10 or so pods in each DS map you get into before meta completion.

Lies, I’ve tried this method before and with nothing to show from it. Wiki also backs me up on this one,

  • Found in Noxious Pods and Mordremoth’s Chest after the successful completion of the meta-event in Dragon’s Stand

You might be right on this one, more noxious pods start showing up as the meta progresses, and I vaguely remember getting my first piece in the middle of the meta. But I’m inclined to believe the pods that are available at the start of a map with no progression done are devoid of the machined parts

Just because you haven’t personally gotten a drop from a non-metal map, it doesn’t mean it’s not possible. I have gotten the staff and shield part from pods in DS where no events where running or completed. Granted, I had to open 50+ pods before I saw the first drop.

Regarding the wiki entry, it doesn’t back you up. You’re reading it wrong. Try splitting it in 2, as in “Found in Noxious pods. Also found in Mordremoth’s chest, which appears after the successful completion of the meta-event in Dragon’s Stand”
