Any chance of getting some numbers on mark drop rates?

[Fitsu]

I'm at the point with my character where my only real upgrades are from mark bosses and given that nobody is really trading that stuff atm I figured I'd try to farm one... I'm a pretty persistant guy so figured it can't take that long.

400+ Baals (I'd imagine maybe ~100 of durial/diablo), 12 ubers, 35 omegas later and I have found 0. I also know a couple people who have done a similar amount of runs to me so we're looking at over 1000 boss kills, around 100 omegas (and that's all 3, so ure looking at 300) and around 40 ubers without a single mark drop.

Now, I'm not complaining about drop rates as ultimately that's your choice I just want to know like a ballpark figure of what the drop rates are. Have I and a cpl of my friends been insanely unlucky or are we really looking at over a 1/1000 drop chance from norms and 1/300+ chance from omega/uber bosses? If that's the case... Then I'll just give up on this hunt and do something else as those rates are simply absurd. Ofcourse if it is just a run of bad luck, and the drop rates are infact like 1/2 or even 1/3 of that and we've just been insanely unlucky i'll soldier through.. I just want a general idea :P.

Throw me a bone here Game, I'm at my wits end farming these and just need to know if they really are this absurdly rare or if I've just had a run of bad luck ^^.

1/126 for ubers and omegas! As for the plain act bosses, I would have to do a lot more math. Probably 1/200-225'ish?

Crunching the numbers a little yields:

Diablo 1 (Time Rift)
Mark of Sin 0.06 % (1 ~ 1666)

Duriel
Mark of Lies 0.11% (1 ~ 909)
Mark of Lies 0.36% (1 ~ 277) (if quest reward)

Diablo and Baal
Mark of Sin 0.073% (1 ~ 1370)
B. Soulstone 0.073% (1 ~ 1370)

Mark of Sin 0.2% (1 ~ 500) (if quest reward)
B. Soulstone 0.2% (1 ~ 500) (if quest reward)

Oh boy. There is grinding and there is annihilus grinding.

Thanks very much for the answer mate, I guess we've just been INSANELY unlucky to not get a single mark in our combined kill count... What's new eh? I guess I'll keep at it then as with those odds it's not to bad. Oh wow, so your saying ubers/omegas are only like twice the drop chance? I figured they was way more.

[sleezy2]

i feel like alot of people are unlucky. im 1 for 2000 for mark of lies, my brain is mush from hours upon hours of teleporting and thats with 175 fcr and 1 shotting duriel. easy 10+ hours of duriel runs I should have 10 mark of lies by now. Now pits has been my luckiest area!! that and lich king has been way more productive. i just wish i could sleep without belials tomb giving me nightmares.

[Lumi]

just drop my first mark of lies after 600 + duriel kills
already at 100 runs for the next mark whit no luck

also+200-300 diablo kills still no mark

they are really rare .

[Seekers]

I really think marks should be a bit more common.
Or for the omega versions to drop way more often.

[Lampogriz]

Funny thing: I found mark of lies and black soulstone in about 20baal and 30 duriel runs. Bosses dropped exactly what i needed - armor and belials tome (other drops are useless for me).
Also other players found some stones and marks pretty fast. That happened in first week of ladder.
Probably silent droprate nerf happened?

Drop rate has not been touched, I ensure you! I would definitely announce this ahead of time. This is just another fine example of RNG.

Me and malice have been grinding for mark of sin and soulstone so we know the struggle :D

[aolin]

i've personally found two marks of sin and two marks of lies, and 1 mark of trangoul, Rng sure is a bitch. my advice is to farm frags rather than the one boss for a mark, its more productive in the long run and the omega bosses have a higher chance as already stated.

[Eric]

I've done probably 30+ frag runs this ladder so far that have been portals, and I've found 1 Black soulstone, and then on top of that I've done at least 12 uber runs, and nothing from them. I like the fact that I have to work for these items instead of doing 1 run and finding it all. Now that being said, I feel as though Uber's and omegas should be just SLIGHTLY higher than they are now, not too much, but enough where you find them just a bit more frequently.
Just my thoughts ;)

This is 100% true

[Scorchz]

I honestly think the act boss drop rate are good , but uber and omega should be buffed abit.

Its so rare , and you're not even sure to get what you want :(

In my case. i found 3 mark of lie , got 3 zyphir bow ,, total crap

[Lampogriz]

i am feeling myself the luckiest person here

Btw, is it right that the drop rate on marks from time rift diablo are higher than normal diablo?
