I don't know the answer to your question but I'll share a story about that *** torque. Hopefully it will be at least as much entertaining as it as an emo rant.
So I had spent about 3 signets worth of hours farming it, a lot of hours, without getting it. Then I gave up for months because it was so ***.
Then while I was building my mule, I decided to go back to farming it and powerlevel him via GoV there (got his WHM from 48 to ~65). I still didn't get the torque during that time. Then I got his SCH from 10 to 44 or so, still tons more time trying to get that freakin torque. And this is where the ridiculousness begins...
A brown box popped. Mule is /following me. I go to open the box and a I solve it down to just 1 number left when my mule takes aggro. So I am forced to deal with the aggro because he's so low level that he dies quickly. I kill off the bee that aggro'd him and then begin to open the box again but there's still a tonberry and another bee nearby-- I'm starting to worry that the box is going to time out.
I manage to enter the final number and open it to reveal a Boneworker's Torque. Heart exploded and just as I went to take it out, I get aggro by the tonberry and he interrupts me. Raging begins.
I was on THF so I spun the tonberry around to face the other direction and used Hide since I only really needed a moment to get the torque out of the box. So I rushed over to the box and the moment the tonberry is active again, he faces me and interrupts me again. what the ***.
So then I realize I have to kill this thing. I begin killing it. Note: I fought a million tonberries and for hours I saw not a single TP move since my THF does pretty good damage and kills them before they can TP. The tonberry gets to around 30% and then the aforementioned bee also aggros me. I decided to save my TP so I can kill the bee quickly, since I was getting increasingly worried that the box is going to time out.
I'm a rancor collar user; have been for a long time. Tonberry gets close to 5% and hit's me with a 5k+ grudge which obviously one-shots me. Now I'm really freaking out. At this point, the nearby bee also kills my mule. I decide that, hey, I'm an evasive THF, and I have TP, I should be able to get up and healing waltz myself before this bee will re-aggro and kill me.
I get up. The bee swings once with 100% accuracy and kills me again and I got the angriest at this game that I've ever been. I figured that I might as well try to get it on my mule, now that the bee was facing the other way again. So I get up on my mule and get it.. awesome.
In the moment, it's hard to think super clearly when all this ***is hitting the fan. There were a couple things I could have done to get it out successfully but I didn't predict that chain of ridiculous could ever happen.
Anyway, I rampaged around the Temple for another 6 hours that night and finally got it on my main.
Short verison: when it comes to Boneworker's Torque, I feel your pain.
