I’ve been going for Bottled Storms on my UIM, they were recently updated to have a 1/150 drop rate from Vampyre Krakens when on a bounty task. I need 5 of them, I started going for them over a week ago.

As you can see I’m going a little bit dry.

Nearing 7x the droprate for an item is something I never thought would happen to me, and luckily it happened on something that was easy to grind, and something that didn’t have such a large droprate, but the idea of going 7x the droprate is frankly terrifying when I think about the longer grinds I have ahead. It is the same likelihood that I go 7x dry on a Twisted Bow as it is that I went dry here. This was a chill, afk, click a boss once a minute going dry. But holy shit going 7x dry for a tbow would probably kill me off.

A tbow, on rate, with my average points per hour is a 600 hour grind. Going 7x rate on that would turn it to a 4200 hour grind. I only have 6000 hours PLAYED, going that dry on that item would nearly double my playtime.

Regardless, I’m going to keep grinding for these storms, it really is a chill time and I’m thankful that if I was going to go this dry on an item, it happened here, but going dry is never fun. I’ve seen plenty of people in my clan finish all 5 of their bottled storms in less KC than I have, and I can feel myself starting to get bitter whenever I see a clanmate getting one.

Hopefully I’ll be done soon, but I probably wont
