RowinL Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I just spent a few hours killing the Acolyte of Fear on Oricon, and finally the Harbinger of Fear spawned, I killed him, but the headgear didn't drop. Is there something I can do about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveTheCynic Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 And also bear in mind that there is anti-farming code that's meant to prevent us from just sitting there farming the same spawn for hours on end, and it does it by blocking drops, even (?especially?) "interesting" drops like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoperaghost Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I wrote a ticket about this in the past and they told me the drop isn’t 100%, so can confirm what Steve said is likely the case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgaydos Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I've gotten it from the Acolyte when I was trying for it. I did do it while completing the other missions and swing by to kill, them move on can come back. Don't know if that made a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowinL Posted September 8 Author Share Posted September 8 Now that I think about it, I noticed that the Acolyte of Fear only dropped loot the first few times I killed her, so I'm guessing it was indeed the anti farm kicking in, disappointing. I did run into Illeva while I was waiting for the respawn, had a chance to tell her how helpful her website and videos have been, so my time didn't completely go to waste Thanks for the replies.

Bar-Da-Voya Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 It does seem the anti farming mechanic is at play here and this is not the first time I have seen a post like this (I've also see it about the mount drop from the dealer in CZ-198). It definitely always was a 100% drop from the Harbinger of Fear and a chance from the Acolyte. Have to be careful to not trigger the anti farming mechanism (i.e. while waiting for the next spawn go to a different area and kill some mobs so that you are not staying in one area for too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
