Guys says that they are dropping in colonization reives in new areas, but lately marjami is so crowded that the reive finish in 4 mins. And if you dont help so much, you wont get anything (my lasts 5 reives i didnt get even peeble).
So my question: can capes drop from lair reives? Did someone got one from lairs?
I think reive in majarmi isnt a good place to farm these as there is a lot of people. Maybe the florest isnt as popular nowaday, so a good place to do a decent reive?

Can drop from doh gates, so i presume also from any reive in new areas.
Capes are pretty rare as its my 3rd day doing prob 30+ per day and haven't got ***yet besides skirmish parks and veilk necklaces's

This is hear say, so idk if its true or not. When I was out there people were zerging them, I asked for people to slow down, and someone shouted they have gotten 2 backs off of zergs.

Now idk if true or not, and the boulders were being destroyed so fast that I only got last evaluation each time.

I have noticed that when I spend 15 minutes doing a reive I got 3 items instead of zero. But who knows.

They go so fast i dont even get evaluations, only a 700 cut at the end. Regardless if i do nothing or astal flow i get the same reward.

if they can do a majority of damage you CAN, but it's certainly not the most effective way to go about it.

I think that should have a minimum limit for drops. And maybe that limit is given by the amount of bayld you get in reive. In Ceizak, in a 1500 bayld run i get random stuffs almost every reive. But in marjami, when i just get 700/win + 200/evaluation i dont get anything.
Probably those guys that said that should have used resolution sekkanoki, putting great damage and farming more bayld. Just a guess, but im sure the amount of bayld you get (so your evaluation) reflect if you get any drop. Just need to figure how much is the lower limit.
Changing a little to wildeskeep reive, though drops are 100%, is there any hint if the drops are ranked? For example, hat is more worth than the grip. So you must have more evaluations so you have higher chance of dropping a hat?
Yesterday we did wildeskeep reive, and we asked each other what they got. Funny that everyone got grip, and the ones that didnt, they had it already. That run was pretty quick also. Less than 2 hours. So, let me ask, guys that got hat, your reive was a long one or a short?

No rank, but drop rate is surely different.

I've only been out in the ravine once for 3-4 hours, it was a zergfest and was pretty much getting only 1 evaluation per. In that time between my 2 characters I got 2 capes on the same character, luckily 1 was 1 of the ones I wanted.

These things are just another timesink annoyance SE is cramming down our throats to try and force us to keep playing. They should have been bayld purchases, the rarity and randomness is total bull. I get the feeling the rest of the new class sets (AF4?) will be from skirmish 2 whenever it comes out.
