Relic Blueprints - how unlucky are you?

Anyone else having trouble getting some relic blueprints to drop?

For me, a singular relic, that no matter how much I play, no matter what or where I farm, be it Nemeses, Dungeons, Totems or anything else, I just can’t get the game to drop. Namely - Ignaffar’s Combustion. Literally the only one I am missing out of them all. Think it’s been well over 100, if not 200 hours now without getting it to drop.

Funny thing is, IIRC, it was among the first level 90 Mythic relic BPs I got back when they were first introduced. However, after doing a hard reset of my game (deleting all saves, GDStash, BPs etc.) a couple years ago to get a “fresh start” so to speak, this is the one relic that’s been giving me headaches ever since. Sucks a lot too, because it’s one of the few things I’m missing to complete my Vindicator and a BiS relic for quite a few builds.

Is it just me, or does anyone else have a similar issue? Where that one thing you need just refuses to drop. Outside of BPs, I’ve also been hunting for Mythical Temporal Tempest. I know it’s all random, but given how many rerolls supposedly happen when the game picks a blueprint you already have, I honestly find it amazing I haven’t gotten the damn Ignaffar’s Combustion BP yet… Thought about just GDStashing it several times, but I’m still holding out, hoping the RNG gods eventually show remorse… So far, in vain :confused:

I recently got two of those. However I’ve been hoping to get a Mythical Skull of Gul’Amash for a while now and have had no luck.

You’ll see when it finally drops it’ll drop multiple in the same session though :sweat_smile:

Well, I guess all I had to do was complain publically. Literally the next totem after I tabbed back into the game:

EDIT:

Got one in my collection already. I am now on the hunt for the Mythical Temporal Tempest :stuck_out_tongue:

and it does it again :rofl:
it’s so hilarious when it happens

i haven’t done a full 0-100% after my first one, so i can’t say if it’s changed or actually better aside on appearance
i’ve done clean slate playthroughs where i wipe my collection and roll with what i find before i ditch the char - obviously not playing long enough/farming long enough to get all 6-700? blueprints or everything that char needed
and i’ve done 0 blueprints general farming tests to try learning drop trends.

at a base level SR seems to be best for blueprints, just because sheer volume - but funnily enough on my actual direct playthroughs both the “i would like this” or “these are the last 2-3” seemed to drop from Monster Totems and Devotion shrines - so much so i make it a habit of clearing all devo shrines on clean slate playthroughs now :sweat_smile:

But either way, even ignoring my full collection time to complete, doing totems or SR, you can really feel the reduction in RNG when you reach like 4-500? collected i think it was. And while my personal experience with the 100% collection definitely also confirmed that, taking ages/months to get the final couple, the experienced cliff dropoff on wiped blueprint file would definitely lead me to believe it’s still the same, - and why i wont consider wiping my SC collection :sweat_smile:
