Why does it always drop Graybeard?

So, I am a pretty new player, and I have this idea in mind - to have one carry - Elhain, and three supports around her to tank the dmg for her, keep her alive and buff her. So, I see that Durham Forest drops Spirithost which is a pretty good option - an ascended Strengthen skill gives 50% atk bonus, and it ain't hard to ascend her. So, I've been grinding that campaign location, AND IT NEVER DROPPED HER. Does anyone know the chances for it to drop Spirithost? Because I have literally made around 75-90 games, and from all those games, it dropped me that goddamn Greybeard AT LEAST 4 times, if not 5 or 6, I don't remember already and not even once did it drop Graybeard. I farmed on normal difficulty, on hard difficulty, on the boss fight, on other various previous fights... a big fat bust.

Hi,

Every rare champion has the same drop rate, so Spirithost = Greybeard. It's just RNG. ;)

Good strategy, though you have 5 slots in dungeons.  If you are talking for campaign, you want one 60 that can farm 12.3 brutal solo (bring 3 food not tanks).  Elhain is the other mistake in the strategy IMO.  If you have another farmer option, post your roster and someone will give you advice.

As I recall, the chance to drop on hard difficulty is something like 1 percent. It's the same for Graybeard, so in a way you're actually lucky that you got a rare champion 4 times out of 90 runs... but although getting several Graybeards helps you by providing food for leveling, of course it's frustrating that you never got Spirithost yet. 


And don't run the boss stage. The most recommended one is generally stage 3 in any given chapter, because that always drops shields, which sell for the most silver. Stage 7 costs 1 energy more per run, which adds up obviously, while giving less XP and not having a better chance for rare champions to drop, as far as I know.

Do not get discouraged. Greybeard is a beast in later stage of the game and will prove himself very useful, just search for some online guides. I have same problem not being able to drop spirithost but I already have 7 greybeards out of 189 runs (which is nuts). RNG is a bitch sometimes but Durham Forest is one of these places that regardless of what drops it is good. Cheers and good luck hunting SH!

edited| And just as I said it she dropped :D It took me 207 runs on hard. I'd say not bad adding those 7 greybeards :D

Not to ruin your mood - but Graybeard is not a beast in later stages of the game, and no, he will not prove himself very useful.

He has a very limited amount of usefulness early on while you're leveling, but we're talking *super* early on. You shouldn't level him beyond level 40, and you shouldn't waste resources ascending him or giving him masteries.

Correction to my previous post: I've done 250 hard Durham forest runs, it dropped 2x spirithost and 5x greybeard (I mistook satyr for greybeard so I thought it actually dropped 7 times). Little side note regarding odds: on normal chance to get rare from stage is around 0.5% not 1%. So it makes no point to farm champs there ( still normal is the most efficient way to farm xp but that is different story). Hard seams to be the most reasonable solution with decent ratio nrg/drop. Good luck getting your free rares!

P.S. Don't spend your hard earned money on scam events :D

In case this helps, Brutal difficulty is proven to be the most efficient as far as XP farming per energy cost, versus time frame altogether.

Not true. Nightmare gives better return on investment for XP and silver per energy.

1. Why 4-7? Is the chance to get a champion drop better in boss stages? Otherwise 4-7 just costs more energy and would be the worst place to do.

4. Late game Graybeard = Spirithost.

Well, seams I was wrong this time, I had outdated chart with xp spread, yeah brutal is the way to go when farming xp.

No, chance for drop is not higher from boss, so it doesnt make sense. But I agree with Greybeard, spirithost will drop in your roster rank once you will get better buffing champs (who are not that hard to get tbh).
