Eternal Embers set

[Thorn3000]

Hi, been playing TTEE quite some time and been farming to get the legendary sets. Been doing hundreds of runs at various places and bosses, with lootdropplus and x-max to farm several bosses at a time. But it seems to me, some parts of the the sets are not dropping at all, whereas I got dozens and dozens of the other parts of the sets.

I went to TQ database https://tq-db.net/en/set to see whether I'm not farming them at incorrect places / what beasts have highest droprates and while it doesn't seem to be up to date on all the places the items drops, it does list EE sets.

And I noticed one thing, all the set items that I missing when I click Loot it lists nothing as if it is not up to date, whereas all the set items that did drop for me, have some sort of drop rate listed there (albeit the list of monsters is of course incomplete). Example from the Thutmose set I have dozens of boots, helms and cuirasses, but not a bracer. When I lick loot table, bracer is the only one that does not list any drop, the others list it. This exact same goes for all the other sets, chiyous, guan yu, kiya and so on. I have all the set pieces which do list a loot drop and none that do not.

Is this is a bug and do those particular set pieces never drop? Was anyone able to complete a full set of anything in EE? Or got the above bracers? And if yes, was it a bosses drop or monster? Cheers

Dang. Players should leave negative feedback for the DLC and the entire game. You did not mentioned how low the drop rates are for the pieces you found. They are about 100 times lower than non-Eternal Embers set pieces. I have seen 0 EE set items drop and at least 7 non-EE set items drop while playing EE for about 30 hours. It is a joke and a crime to have an achievement tied to EE sets.

if you want that achievement, you can buy EE electurm orbs (the normal ones) they will drop EE legendaries

Thank you @Psixi.

I looked for ten minutes near portals and did not find where to buy Electrum Orbs. Where please?

Helos, before exiting town, go left instead to the temple.

There are 8 shrines, taking each will give you a debuff. If you one have active, every monster you kill will now grant you electrum. You can spend the electrum at the transmuter there.

Each shrine will give you -% Resistance penalty, similar to the difficulty one. taking all 8 curses, gives -100% res

If your build is strong enough, you can take all 8 curses, earn electrum. (The higher the difficulty and act, the better the multiplier. Heroes/bosses give more than trash mobs) ideally you want to farm in act 5+ because of the formula.

If you are serious about getting EE items, this is the most effective way. Buy Electrum NORMAL orbs, not epic or legendary. They can drop legendaries and are the cheapest.

Thank you. I learn something new every day, but today, many things.

I don't have a single EE set item yet. 35 hours in EE and > 10 orbs purchased. I have only purchased Jade and Theban orbs because I was told EE items can be in there. So far, zero EE items. More legendary weapons in Jade orbs and legendary armor in Theban orbs so far. All NORMAL orbs.

Are you sure EE set items are in there?

[Psixi]

Theban orbs can drop the Kiya's and Thutmose's Set items, ALL pieces but the bracers, unfortunately. However, the Born to Rule set drops from Theban orbs, and is a set of only /2 items, meaning you only need to equip Pharaoh's Legacy and Amenhotep's Dagger to get the achievement.

[OldAndBusy]

Thank you. Did you mean Born to Rule drops from Jade orbs?

[OldAndBusy]

What about the Titan Slayer, Xuanwu's, Chiyou's, Guan Yu's, Huangdi's, and Art of War? Are they available in any of the orbs? How did you find out, Psixi? By buying orbs or an url? Thank you.

That's all the set items that can drop from Jade, no full sets, but pieces. There's missing in each category. The rest can be gotten in EE. In the Egypt orbs, the born to rule set can drop, it might be the only full set that drops from both orbs. So the way you approach this is up to you.

Source of the info: I looked into the database of the game.

[OldAndBusy]

Thank you much. I just obtain Chiyou's pendant from a Jade orb.

[Psixi]

Totally forgot there are amulets and shields part of that set, didn't check that one. But I don't think Chiyou's Fall drops from it if I checked shield loottable

Thank you.
