What's your "I have the worst luck" EQ moment(s)?

[Trelaboon]

I’ve attended like 200 scout rolls and still haven’t won a single one.

[ZarkinFrood]

lost scout rolls for months, when I finally did win the roll there weren't enough people to successfully take down the mob so we wiped. On that same toon, I had to /random 500 on an epic item against a guildie, I rolled decently high but the person I was up against beat me with my birthday number lol

That actually prompts a good question. If it's clear there aren't enough people there do we expect everyone to try anyway and wipe and eat a death?

You want bad luck ? It took me about 4500 wyvern, wurm, and cube kills in SS to get my enchanter a Wurm Lord Shawl ��
I got 2-3 Wurm Scale Capes in the meantime (PoS shawl with the same graphics)

the roll is postponed until a kill force shows up, this happens alot post-quake, once we got a tank, cleric, puller and some dps then the roll happens

I dunno why they would have rolled without a kill force

must have been on green

Damn. Considered it initially but seeing other people I know couldn't get it to drop I went the coldain shawl path but didn't know it was guardian robe territory. Makes the 7th shawl looks like child's play.

Do no let that discourage you from farming one. I just had very bad luck for that particular shawl. The other 4 I farmed only took 200-250 kills each to drop, which can be quite fast with a necro or enchanter

Some people are very lucky and get a shawl after a couple kills …

Sounds like it'd be much easier to get WAY BETTER wrists by joining a raiding guild, no?

Loramin, does your beuracracy not need to exist, because this type of drop rate for crappy group loot BoB's is not worth it?

Bob's are group loot by the way.....

Maybe some day but all I need is swordfish tooth to finish shawl 7th and I'm unguilded right now so basically my only chance to get FT1 for the foreseeable future.

That and being a chanter neriad shawl is kinda nice too for apparently much less hassle but wouldn't be surprised if I camped wurm lord anyway later.
