Follow-up Adventures

The drop-rates for follow-up adventures are 2% (maximum, some are even less!)
I can understand the low rates applied to special, rare items, like buildings for example, but why such poor chances on Adventures??
In the four years I've been playing, I have earned:
Old Friends.......................... 3x
Motherly Love...................... 2x
Invasion of the Nords............ 3x
Return to Bandits Nest.......... 1x
More Secluded Experiments... 0x (and not for lack of trying!!)

Couldn't we maybe get a slight bump on these, so some of us could at least play them?? Please???

Just a small suggestion - Many thanks for your attention!

Especially considering that lvl 50 quest that required you to do a couple of follow-up adventures.

I just bought adventures for that quest. It's been years since I have won one.

3x IotN/??!! Wow. Have not seen one of those drop, ever. and I run/tag a fair amount of Nords, and the other taggers report not having seen any either - I was thinking it was just myth. As far as the rest of these, I have not seen any drop from any of them for at least a year, last one was a MSE - they used to drop once in a while for me, but it is like the well ran dry.

Been running BN lately hoping to get some RBN to help my science cause, but no dice yet, and SE is always run 2-3x week... on a related note, over 400 SE/ls and not seen an AG yet.

I recently started a new account on another server, and got Old Friends the very first time I did Witch of the Swamp there. I've had a number of Old Friends on this server as well (probably about 8 in slightly less than 2 years of playing here), but only a couple of Motherly Love (despite having done many IOTPs) and have never had follow-up adventures from any of the others. It would really be nice if they dropped a little more often.

Yes, early in my TSO life, (< level 40ish) I recall getting some Old Friends and Motherly Love from time-to-time, been a long time any dropped, though I run them very infrequently now.

iirc the drop rate of ML wasn't that bad overall, I rarely played IotP and I remember getting quite a few follow ups. WotS I did even less, so no idea on that one, just remember when I kicked out like 160 during this year's easter, I got 3 or 4 follow ups from that.

So BB can put "Consistent" in their resume when listing some of their bullet points and actually be spot on about it /sigh

That was probably before the Great Loot Nerf, which I dare not speak of!!
I continue to run smaller adventures, either as "filler" in between larger campaigns, or for the occasional skill bonus or other quest.. Without sounding even more whiney, the rewards got nerfed on the follow-ups too, so I think the "rare" drop-rate is just a left-over from days of yore and could stand to be updated..

Yup it was/is horrible. Nerfing either follow-up drop rate or rare item drop rate in follow up loot would have been more than enough for what they were trying to achieve.

Well, I am going to keep track of my Island of the Pirates runs from now on, till I get a Motherly Love and see what happens. I had to ask a lot of people before I got a second follow up adv so I could finish the level 50 quest "The Greatest Explorer".

Does not make much sense to me.

Another issue for me: never got an Epic building drop... even after hundreds of BKs during these events. So my quest "Something is still missing..." WELL, it is STILL Missing.

MISSING. No epic building. Funny how that works.
