Has anyone seen any changes in the Drop Rate from Tiamat? I've fought her alot and Gaiters was around a 25% Drop,so not bad,personally i was 4/4 2 with only /THF and TH Belt.Now after update i killed her twice and a ls member once:First Kill (his) NO Drops (not even a Fire Crystal) 2nd Kill (mine) Dragon Heart and Wyrm Horn,3rd Kill (me again) NO Drops,just EXP,i think they broke it or lowered the Drop rate,what are your experiences?

You didn't get the drop after 3 kills!? Holy crap SE must have broken the game. We need to report this right away!

I'm assuming he's capitalizing "NO" meaning they didn't even get a fire crystal. They very well could have lowered the drop rate, but I highly doubt it and a sample size of 3 is pretty small.

@OP - Herald's Gaiters are seriously available and cheap, you may as well spend a few hours doing dyna and buy a pair, since you can't sell the ones that tiamat now drops.

Not be able to sell in the most direct way, yes however still able to sell it in the loot pool the same as any other rare/ex. But I agree, with the price drop on the ones from ouyru it is a waste of time to camp.

It's my understanding she does not drop them anymore, it said in the update notes she has new drops. Since they come from the bcnm now.

She drops a ra/ex version now the way all the other hnm items are. So yes, she still drops gaiters, just not herald's gaiters.

Should have made Tiamat stronger, and given her 18% movespeed feet! And only given smelly Ouryu 12% feet.

Ya repop time is the same,and i'm not complaining about not getting boots,but i never saw 0 Drops before with TH3,thats weird,i just got exp,thats it. So maybe could something be wrong with the changes.idk
Does anyone know anyone who actually has the Crier's Gaiters?i mean is there a confirmed Drop yet?

How's the drop rate on Ouryu? I want to get some gaiters for many of my friends, and I'm wondering if it's better to spam Ouryu or check over in the Chasm every now and then. I'll probably end up doing both though.

I went 6/6 on H. Gaiters before the last update, usually with a loot pool full of other drops as well. 0/1 since the update, only thing that dropped was a wyrm horn. Always killed as THF. Small sample size, of course, but figured I'd toss it into the discussion.

That's still pretty encouraging, thank you.

Maybe just bad luck then,but thats what i meant,good to see other ppl noticed changes aswell.

Oddly enough, I had the opposite experience... killed Tia 3 times before update, 0/3 on anything but synth mats and crystals (THF and WHM duo each time).

Saw this post, went out and he was up, 1/1 on the new boots with TH9.
