now the crystalized azoth definitely drops in starstone. we get one every other run or so. I can accept that ones drop rate, but it still needs to be tweaked imo. But the sacred one is a absolute joke.

Nobody cares about the Healers but Healers 
And actually, there’s too many people that Hate healers What a sad game to play healer. Never seen this hate for healers in any other game ever.
And we can’t even muster enough attention to improve our stuff, only attention to nerf LS.

I was watching videos about how luck works. I am wondering whether this might be related as to why some people get it yet you have not gotten it?
So there is a roll of 100,000 sided dice in drops - maybe not all are like this, yet bear with me:
When you have no luck buff, you are rolling 000,001 to 100,000. If you raise your luck to 5k, you are rolling from 005,000 to 105,000.
If an item only drops from 102,000 roll, then anyone with 000,001 to 100,000 roll can not ever get it - their chance of getting it is 0%.
Because of this, I have decided to run every single piece of gear with 1.8 to 2.1% luck perk on it minimum (I don’t know if it goes higher, I am level 46) & opting to only use items with slots & putting a pristine pearl in every slot to add another 0.5% on top.
I haven’t started popping the foods I have been crafting yet & am still learning how to buff my luck more, but ever since I did this, I get a lot more weapons of higher tier & a lot more higher tier stuff when gathering or skinning etc.
I used to only get gray items & sometimes greens, rarely blue & now I notice more items per drop as well as more colorful drops. I get gems often from silver for example. I used to get none.
I think luck plays a major factor in your specific item in this way, though I cannot be sure & someone else should add to what I said to clarify for me as well. Teach us the way it works or correct whatever I said, or clarify where this explanation does apply, or where it does not. Thank you!
What is your luck like on your gear/do you pop luck foods?
full luck major trophies , full luck 600 gear, luck accessories and luck bags. maxed out. I feel like these are green so i could be out of the luck pool since i have so much.

I did see someone say that adding too much luck can actually lower chances on certain things. I think it was this video, not sure: Luck Works in 2 Not So Mysterious Ways in New World - Official New World Luck Breakdown - YouTube

This is critical for healers both pvp and pve. I hope they fix it or at least mention it on future maintenance

I bought one today at the AH for 10k … farming the mobs listed in the fan databases does not give anything, as well as farming Amrine and Starstone. nothing in two days …

I cannot confirm but I’m wondering if that’s how luck works with drops. From what I’ve read, luck while gathering resources work on a sliding scale, with higher luck pushing the slider higher, unlocking the ability for rarer items to drop.
What I question is whether loot drops specifically work the same way. There was dev post on the two ways luck work, with loot drops seeming to have fixed values. IIRC, higher luck just adds to whatever you roll, but don’t quote me on that. Higher luck for loot supposedly increased the rarity of item, meaning a green drop could be purple with higher luck. This is just from my memory though, so forgive me if some of my recollection is inaccurate.
That being said, I wonder if sliver of consecrated iron is one of those “LuckSafe - True” items, meaning it’s not affected by luck at all. I’ve only seen one on AH for 20k… I was tempted but I’m too cheap haha.

I had gotten 2 from Susanna the alligator until the last patch. Ive killed her over 400 time’s and still no drop. I feel like the loot table has been changed in the last patch.
It would be nice if someone said the reason why this perk doesn’t come out as abundantly as others that are critical, I’m a healer I have the equipment at 611 GS, but since I don’t belong to a guild with money, I can’t get this perk to be able to craft rings (currently 10k gold on my server). As I have said, the only thing I am missing is the ring, and as I repeat I cannot craft or spin because there are no cheap perks on my server as I do not have money to buy it, unlike the guilds with money from the cities. It’s kind of pathetic that such an important perk for healer is so restricted. To this day I have spent more than 20 starstone and more than 16 hours farming Kar and Susana without finding any perk. In short, things about the game and its developers, once again, pointless. And as always they will keep quiet to cover their backs while the BiS players continue to get more BiS and richer.
