Toraak Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) 9 hours ago, Traceguy said: Did you try the phased area or the open world daily area? That part is important. You also want to make sure you have Brrazz's Gift active, as the drop rate is next to 0% without it. I tried the phased area. And found it was just not worth it. I do far better on DK. Luckily I'm done farming those now anyway. Once I hit 970+ I just need to do the weeklies from weeks 8-15 for the 100 weeklies and I'll be done with the blueprints at the same time. And yes I had the gift buff working. Edited April 30 by Toraak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoMatt Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I don't know what you are talking about or experiencing Torak. Traceguy is on point for farming these as far as I've seen. I get 60-80 in the open world an hour. In the CZ instance, I got 177 Blueprint fragments in 55 minutes today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either your having great luck, or mine is terrible. Regardless 16 in 20 mins is on pace for 48 in a 1 hour span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoMatt Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 How long are you taking to clear each instance? With assassin I was doing it in around 50-55 seconds between resets. Comp on passive at the start, run through the first group, tag the other 2 and then run towards the last 3, aggro all of them and turn on your comp and AoE them as they all run in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I was only getting between 1-3 blueprints per reset. As I said with the timer for resetting the instaance and only getting 1-3 per, it just wasn't worth it. Definitely wasn't getting more then 1 per minute with the 2 min reset timer. I got far more doing DK. Edited April 30 by Toraak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I open all the gates then aggro the first two groups and run to the large room on the right with the 3 groups and pull them then AOE everyone. I ignore the solo group by the back wall on the left as you enter. You only need to open the gates once and when you reset the phase they will stay open.

Regardless 16 in 20 mins is on pace for 48 in a 1 hour span. I get 80-90 in an hour. My mistake was probably clearing the entire area - it would probably be a little more efficient to kill two groups by the entrance and reset phase.

Can you pull the first two groups and reset the instance 3 times in a row in less time than you can pull the first two groups, the three groups on the right, kill and reset the instance once? I've gotten it down where I am faster pulling those 5 groups and killing them and resetting than pulling/resetting the first two groups 3 times in a row but I use my engineer sniper set for AOE damage. I'm not sure if I am killing faster pulling 5 groups instead of 2 though, it is more fun than pulling the first two groups over and over which is what I did when I first started.

Toraak Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Evidently you can reset this phase more then 6 times in an hour. For whatever reason it doesn't follow the same rules as other content. Got a lot more this time, but it's so mind numbingly boring I don't think I could do that more then once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeannaVoyager Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Unless you want the devs to prevent resetting it, stop advertsing it. Remember what happened to KP farm? Just saying. It will be really fun trying to get your rampage done with upstairs adds, once the basement can no longer be resetted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter if they are character or legacy bound. They are only able to be sold. When you loot, they count towards the legacy achievement, so it does not matter which character gets them.

I collected 128 in 60 minutes. There is no cap on it. 10 hours ago, Toraak said: Evidently you can reset this phase more then 6 times in an hour. Never mind then. 6 hours ago, kgaydos said: It doesn't matter if they are character or legacy bound. They are only able to be sold.

eabevella Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Just got my 1500/1500 chievo on SF. I only grind tech frags and op-1 for my gears. BS needs to scale the drop rating for solo pve players. Killing trash on open worlds over and over just for the blueprints sounds tedious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlacrityFitzhugh Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Makes me wonder if they will bump the drop rate somehow before the end of the season. I've been working my ass off farming blueprint fragments and I'm barely half-way there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the toxin phase of CZ with the buff running, and it worked the best drop rate so far for me. I got just over 60 in an hour, and with a total goal of 1500 I’d rather remove my eye teeth with an angle grinder than do that to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoMatt Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I'm not sure why you are still getting low drop rates with the buff in CZ instance (60 to me is very low) I got 177 in 55 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar here, but the buff + phase thing got me only 25 in an hour - and it's still the best drop I've had anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peglas Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 So are they gonna fix this or as everything else completely ignore playerbase and just forge ahead with blinders on? about 650/1500...zzzZZzzZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
