The Guildmasters

Just lately i’ve been struggling to get the drops I need to complete certain things, I don’t mind as i’m still meeting lots of new friends and great players and still learning stuff.

At the moment I have the whole set of Shadow Armor apart from one piece, the whole set of Shogun Armor apart from one piece, the whole set of Warlords armor apart from one piece, you see where this is going? And I also have the full set of Knightlord Armor except for the most important part, the armor itself, which happens to be the only top part of armor that has added STR

This last part requires two fire dragon skulls + and this has got to be the hardest drop in the game for me, i’ve eventually managed to get pretty much any rare drop I need apart from those damn skulls. Last few days saw me running King of Dragons 3 more than 30 times, I didn’t really expect a skull + from there as there is only one fire dragon but I also ran Theatre of the Gods 3 14 times, I almost expected a skull + here as there are three fire dragons but nothing. Finally I decided the best place for skull+ drops was going to be Dragons Heat 3, I ran this 30 times and with two dragons I sort of expected at least one in 30 runs, I realize the drop rate for a fire dragon skull + is probably 1% but with two dragons in a quest I thought i’d see one.

The thing that made me wonder if there is a glitch where skulls + just isn’t dropping is that other players were saying they had been running this quest all week long with not one drop so if anyone has had any fire dragon skull+ drops this last week I would appreciate it if you could let me know which quest and how many times you had to run it before it showed.

Here’s a thought:

We work all our lives only to retire, why do we do this? Apparently so we can save and enjoy our retirement doing something we’ve always wanted to do, whether it be golf, football, soccer, fishing or whatever. Personally I don’t understand the need to kick a ball around all day, and it makes even less sense to me why millions would watch someone else kicking a ball around all day, but that’s fine with me, each to his own and as long as your enjoying life that’s great, whatever your passion.

Me? I love gaming, and i’m not waiting until I retire just so I can play games, so why would you think i’m weird for playing games 5hr a day but don’t think it’s weird to play golf for 5hrs? You work 8hrs a day and don’t enjoy it? Something wrong there.

Bottom line is enjoy your life, it’s too short, if it’s hard to find the time to do the things you enjoy most it makes it all the more fun when you do get the chance, you’ll live longer too, less stress. Better still why not make money doing what you love doing? It can be hard but what a life.

After hitting Guild Rank 15 I started working on the item binding, this has turned out to be more difficult with some items, as many rare item drops needed to bind weapons and armor can be as rare as half a percent, more are at a 1% drop rate making it frustrating at times for some because you have to run the quest so many times just to get one item.

One of these rare items are the Aged Dragon Skull, making this one more difficult is the fact that the Ancient Dragon can only be found in one quest and that is King of Dragons.

I found a slightly easier way to pick up the Aged Dragon Skull after searching online and seeing some people making comments that this item drop can be got on King of Dragons 1, this seemed unlikely because of the low Guild Rank required to run this quest, it was thought by most that Aged Dragon Skull could only be acquired from King of Dragons 2 or 3.

Anyway I decided to run KOD 1 and put this to the test, I can solo this quest but it takes about 30 minutes or so because you have to kill four other dragons before getting the Ancient Dragon, it’s a good quest to run on solo as you get a ton of items all of which can be used, and even if you don’t use them you can sell them for a fair amount.

Well my first two runs didn’t produce a skull but it did give me pretty much everything else in the Aged Dragon stuff, wing, tail, claw etc..My third run saw me getting hold of an Aged Dragon Heart, another rare drop. On my fourth run I did actually get the Aged Dragon Skull.

Statistically this is the best way to acquire the Aged Dragon Skull simply because if there is no players running KOD 2 or 3 you can still get it from KOD 1, another plus is that when I do this quest solo I seem to get a ton more items in the reward screen. I have picked up another 3 Aged Dragon Skulls from KOD 1 since so this has now definitely been confirmed for those who wasn’t sure.

One other point is that I don’t believe it is possible to get an Aged Dragon Skull in the reward screen, it’s only possible to get it as a drop by breaking the tail of the dragon.

I have found the most effective way to ensure a drop from the tail is when the battle first starts I use demon aura or you can use Inspire to give your attack a boost then head straight for the tail and hit it with a 15 AC combo, this (for me) has guaranteed a drop every time.

By doing it this way, even if the Ancient dragon manages to defeat you it hasn’t been a waste of a long quest, you at least managed to get the tail drop which is what you want the most.

Will post more on other hard to get items as and when I find them.
