I am demotivated, I am on 76 iiq with 287 iir. I made already a tons of Dock runs, I've found only some low level uniques and since im level 78 I find no more uniques at all. I am only at 7 ex atm (sold my Summoner items), if no unique drop I will never get this Shavronnes Chest. Only collecting Alterations is no possibility, this would take months.

we're in the same boat.. I've been farming the docks since I got to act 3 merc (around when i was still level 60). I'm now level 76 with 80 IQ, 194 IIR (not counting bonuses from gems). I'm pretty desperate..lol. I don't summon my zombies anymore to make sure that my totems get the last hit. I even swapped out my faster casting gem to a rarity gem to increase my chances of dropping a shav. Currency wise, I have around 8-10 ex in my stash. Can't imagine doing this for a few months or so.. need a freakin miracle..hahaha

Edit: forgot to mentioned that I've chanced every occulists vestment that I've found in the docks(around 50-60) and still no shav.

Hello. I can't seem to get my auras and mana to work out. Also, what did you guys do about dex?

In case you didn't know, your level will never have any kind of penalties to item drops, only for currency and gems. The game will never treat you higher than level 68, so you will never have more than 7.5% penalty to currency and gem drops at the docks.

I've hit lvl 62 and I'm about to start on the Docks.

Current Running Stats are:
697 hp / 1487 es with hp being about 209 atm with low life ;)

MF 52/248(305 spark with rarity)

Spark is showing 497 dps

Running 5 auras. Dis/Vit/Has/Pur/Cla

Switching to springleaf I'm still unable to support RF at present, although I have no regen passive yet. dropping a rejuv totem supports it.

Now its time to just farm / level / upgrade gear.

I did it in same way as you, when I was level 60-+ I started solo dock runs until level 76 , from level 76-78 I did catacomb Runs. And now I do docks runs again.

Haha yea we need a god damn miracle, I don't see me anymore doing this for longtime ^^ , I find nothing to sell :D and rares are 99% shit when you are on a higher level.

I share your peain with you :P , I did that too. I would say I chanced over 100 occulist vestements now. And other 100 with scouring/chance. It is driving me crazy :D

I know it :) but thx for saying it maybe some1 other don't know it. It just strange that since Im level 78, I see dropping no more uniques.


Edit: Sorry for the double post.

Completed 11 dock runs so far, got me from 62 to 64 :)

Uniques : 0
Maps : 1
Chaos : 1
Alch : 2
Chisel : 2

I'm rich!! =P

Question for all you shav farmers?

1. Unique is based on Occultist's Vestment
2. To maximise your chance you need to drop as many of these robes as possible.
3. Out of my (limited) runs so far, I've only ever seen 4 (2 white, 2magic)

Based on this small sample, docks seems a pretty poor place to farm this item. I see waaay more lower level ES chests dropping.

Yes its only 11 runs, and a will continue at docks for a while (to level up more than anything), however my feeling is at present its not the place to be farming for this item.

I got the feeling, that after patch???, where they changed chance for drops and the chance, to chance an item...that basic-items are dropping not that often as before...

however... I'm still waiting for a drop, that gives me the ex's I need to buy a shav's.

regarding farming docks...maybe the ilvl of that chest is higher than 62/63? If not...its the only reason, why you should farm docks. because there its more likely to get it...see monster-lvl <-> item-lvl-drop

Having a but of trouble higher up in this build when thinking about going RF. So I'm just about to hit level 68 and I have pretty decent gear, My resistances are almost maxed but not totally. If and when I decide to go with 2x Andy's they won't be close to max at all. How will this hinder RF ? also are you guys using quality vitality ? any insite will help

There's still debate (read: noone could tell me anything proven about it) on the question about monster lvl - item lvl

It would be logical that higher level zones would have more chances to drop lower level uniques, but the conter-prove is that Andvarius starts from item lvl 9, and docks is monster lvl 63-65 so i would expect to see a ton of them... of course that's not the case.

So if more than 50 levels of difference doesn't change drop rate for that item, i don't see how less than a dozen (as in high level maps over docks) would impact Shavronne's drop rate...

On a side note: new docks can drop Maelstrom Staff too. Has anyone managed to get a Taryn's Shiver out of it?

I'm hitting 80 between tonight and tomorrow and still no Shav... I managed to buy a cheap Springleaf and now I can easily sustain RF too. DPS skyrocketed and clear time too xD
Well, let's hope for the best.

P.S. yesterday I got 6 uniques i remember of out of docks, 2 vendored, a couple for sell and the rest stashed for no reason. I was lvl 78 and i wasn't seeing anything orange since last Ledge run almost 20 levels before, so i'm pretty sure leveling does not impact uniques drop rate.
I'm also dropping a ton of Chaos Orbs, 10+ only yesterday, 1 gcp, many chisels and various orbs (many regrets too), not counting alts, trans or augms. It won't make me rich of course, but it's better than nothing

Byes
