Cave Crawlers

Featured Replies

Lately i've been hearing about Crawlers(138) being nerfed quite a lot and i've decided to try it out myself.

So far i'm at 2 trips no effigies, which proves nothing.

 

So i'm asking you, has Effigy drop rate from Cave Crawlers really been nerfed? Can you confirm or deny it from your own experience?

 

Thanks!

99 times out of a hundred cries of a nerf mean one whiney person is having a streak of bad luck. I remember a guy who was 3 k kills at TD's with no effigies, but no one else had that dry streak.

Trolling by giving good advice since April 2011.

I've been hearing this rumour a lot lately, too. I'd like to see it confirmed or denied.

JacTise, i've heard it from about 5 people i know + read rsof rants about it.

Maybe they've all had a bit of a bad luck and gave up too quickly or there's something about it.

Ive never gotten an effigy from a cave crawler. They obviously don't drop effigies anymore.

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

CR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size.

It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

Last time I went I got an effigy after 20-30 minutes (I left after that due to forgetting pray pots <_<), that was about a month ago though.

 

xpx' math tells me there's a 44% chance a trip ends in no effigies (I didn't verify it but it's xpx).

 

With more people doing crawlers, more people have dry streaks.

 

I don't think they are nerfed, but people might have been counting on 1/700 for effigies and 850 kph (the old highest estimate for drop rate with the new highest estimate for kph) rather than the more modest 1/800 for effigies and 800 kph which seem to be about the current standard for long-term camping.

3 trips no effigies so far, not going to kill them for a while, they annoy me :s

 

A couple friends said they are on longer dry streaks as well, one 6 and one 5.

 

I'd really like to see some people post their recent data.

The cls vs rapier and onyx vs berserker ring is pretty debatable imo, until he shows some numerical proof that cls > rapier I'm not with him. Also he's using old (or low estimate) figures with 700+ kph, because 800 kph is very achievable.
