I have also been wondering the same thing. I am a healer and have probably ran Lazarus around 100 times with max watermark - the highest I’ve received the staff at has been 590. I have heard people on my server say they have received it at 599 and even 600, but I have yet to confirm if it is true.
Hey check my post requesting dungeon improvements:
My experience after hundreds of runs is that any boss drops in Lazarus that also drop off trash mobs (such as Will of the Ancients) will rarely if ever exceed 590 from those mobs. These drops seems to have a lower drop rate from Chardis than other weapons, and my theory is that they can only drop at 600 from Chardis. I’ve gotten about 20 Will of the Ancients from trash mobs - all at or under 590. I’ve only seen it drop from Chardis once in all my runs and it was high 580s.
Yea 12k kinda nuts. Thankfully got about 30 at 6k, and a bunch at 8k before they jumped . Given legendary drop chance, it’s absolutely not worth paying 2k per person. It’s not worth anything where you don’t break even but what can you do.
Hey guys, thank you for your answer. I’m glad to know it can drop higher than 590. We will spam some more Lazarus and if we ever get one >590, I’ll let you know.
250+ runs Lazarus ;D Best Will of the Ancients was 590, in common droped for 20± times. I’m very tired of getting legendary WotAncients. And wanna to say that we are premade party and no one for 250+ runs get it…
I have easily run over 150 Laz runs with 590 Expertise in LS. My highest Will of Ancients has been 590. In the last week I have not see a single Will of the Ancient drop in 38 straight runs (of any gear score). I have been seriously wondering this same thing.
alright if u say so maybe possible to drop
but just like other ppl reporting, ive got like 10 of them but none are above 590 which doesnt sound right
seeing how rare the drop is, it almost sounds like to me that expertise is not properly working or registered at 590 for some ppl hence the maximum gs ppl are getting is capped at 590.
two factors to consider,
1, way too little players have gotten it at 600 regardless of how many runs there are.
2, many ppl are reporting that the max they get is 590.
i may be wrong, but the these two above are most likely not coincidence.
Can confirm that it does drop at 600, a few people on our server have it, including over 591 GS… But yes, it is a grind and you will get several ‘I can watermark at 600 but got 598 fml’ drops. Some of these weapons are BIS so honestly only makes sense to make it hard to acquire. Do I like it? Absolutely not, especially if someone did get 10+ staff drops only at 590, but you know forum people, love to extend the truth.
The issue isn’t people aren’t acquiring them. In a REGULAR mmorpg you got an item drop and that’s it. It had X percent chance to drop and it’s iwhrer you got it or you didn’t.
This game takes it to another ridiculous level of yeah it will drop with an X percent chance but is it over your watermark? That’s a totally different chance in itself.
