I want one, but toraja is just too boring to run often. Found 2 Krys the first run, one Auhe after 5-6 runs.
I'm not really looking forward to doing 10's of runs just to find the damn thing.

Last I heard, the rarity was 3 Krys : 2 Auhe : 1 Shaad. I don't know if that's still accurate, but if it is then you should be able to get one in about 10 runs?

I did over 50 runs for a auhe so you should be happy ! The most booring and stupid place to farm. Id rather farm den of evil for tyraels might

Yeah I think the ratio is 3 2 1, but the amount I've found is of course variance and has little bearing on the true odds

Yeah, for things with such low drop rates it's often better to talk about things like 90% confidence intervals. Even your average 6% trophy drop can get a little wonky sometimes - you should average one every 16-17 runs but it's not too weird (1 in 10) for it to take 37, and there's that 1 in 100 poor soul out there who doesn't get one until 75 runs.

Statistics is cruel sometimes. :twisted:

I can give you a shaad in SP if you want. Pm sent.

Any recommendations on which helmet scroll to use on an iron spiral barb (wdm melee)? I’ll have firedance and hive from relics and hellfire aura from a merc. I was using goblin glee until now, but I want to change it to something else. I’m thinking between life spark and 50% aoe. I’ve been testing 50% aoe scroll a little, but I didn’t observe much (any?) difference. I know it should work only on the initial sword swing, not the whole aoe of iron spiral, but still I didn’t see any difference in dmg dealt/animation. I’ll probably have around 50% ll and 225 life on attack. No life on striking. Any ideas/comments?

Thanks for the offer mate, but I like playing self found.
If the chance of a shaad is just too small, I'll just go for another gear option

One more question from me. Can an affix "Target Takes Additional Damage of x" for example from

Idol of Rygnar

Idol of Rygnar
Mask (Sacred)
Defense: (2068 - 2350) to (2208 - 2510)
Required Level: 100
Required Strength: 600
Item Level: 120
+2 to Necromancer Skill Levels
25% Life stolen per Hit
Weapon Physical Damage +(60 to 90)%
Hit Causes Monster to Flee +1%
+(120 to 150)% Enhanced Defense
+(40 to 50) to Strength
+(40 to 50) to Dexterity
Target Takes Additional Damage of 500
25% Gold Find
+5 to Light Radius
Socketed (4)

be boosted in any way?

No. Maybe with - enemy physical res but thats such a rare stat.

That makes sense. Thanks!

My previous question is still open. Anyone?

Also, another question. If you summon something from an onskill used on your switch, the summons dissapear after a few seconds. But how does it work with summons that you have hard points in? Let's say you have hard points in Veil King summon. You add a Veil King relic to your weapon on switch and summon him. Will he still be buffed by additional +3 and the orange text from the relic after you switch to your other gear or will you loose that?
