Nothing you can do now. Older flux (1-7) drop more coins than new ones. You need to continue spamming it.

as it stand now with update the +2 weapons are now harder to make then the emph ones. Once the rush on woe for spells die down noone will be able to at all since cant get without wins now.Even with wins take forever since coins and pouchs such low drop rates. cus on + side all crafting gonna crash again with the flood of crafting materials specialy smith gold and wood..

I would just stay with 7, if that's what your getting so far. Rate sounds about par as mine. I did 11 and 9 last night too, and I think you get more with 7. It is all random though =/

So being a bit of a troll here. What you guys were saying is it was easier to get coins on the old system with the leeches?

Well b/c normally people were lotting on 1 kind of coin. If lucky, no one else was lotting on the coin you wanted. It's sure that some were lotting them all but, from 100 + hours of old WoE experience, it didn't happen much.

I been spamming flux 9 (personnaly about 15 times) and maybe got 2 coins.

I moved to 7 and in 14 runs i got 2 pouches, and many coins.


Still, it takes more time now than with old WoE.

Try a different chest than you're opening now, I've gotten 2 pouches of decay coins in the last 2 days, 1 from the 1st chest at the bottom and another from the 2nd from the top.

Either that or you're just SoL

This is why I never minded leeches. They were a small fraction of the lotters most of the time. I understand why people got mad, but all in all it was pretty simple to get coins in the old WoE. This just in, Chiner's Belt ^^

Nausi I thought it doesn't matter what chest. Its all random.. the only reason I thought there were so many chests, was b/c so many ppl in area.. so that it would have everyone at one single chest.

drop rates arent terrible, just the chance of getting what u need in such large groups is slim.

I heard that no coins drop at all in 1-5...has anyone verified this by any chance? 6-8 supposedly drop more coins and 9-11 drop more items- although I was previously told that you don't get any coins from 9-11 but just did 11 and got some coins so that data was inaccurate.

I really hate the 1 hour wait ><

I thought Coin of Adv. is the hardest one to get in new VCs. Got 48 Decay Coins and 35 Ruin Coins in two days by spamming #7.
P.s>>I am a SMN !

I've been doing #7 (mostly) with a LS mate- he wanted some glory coins.

I've done somewhere around 10 fights over the past few days, here's my count:
Advancement: 13
Birth: 9 (one run gave me a pouch of 5)
Decay: 8
Glory: 3
Ruin: 3

Since the update I've gone:

15 ruin
24 birth
14 decay
23 advn
17 glory
and like 15 dice

flux 7 is def the way to go for coins

flux 9 is where I got the majority of dice

Doing WoE in my spare time up until tonight, I've gather around the same results, sticking mostly to to conflux 7 onry

21 birth
17 advancement
30 glory (the last 4 I exactly needed to finish came from a pouch, was lucky there >_>)
25 decay
and then lastly, everyone's favorite, 26 ruin -_-

however, having only done flux 7 I've only amassed 5 dice, 2 of which was from my mule when I stuck him in conflux 9 way back last Tuesday or something to help unlock 11.

I'd really hope that dice are more consistent in drop rate in the newer fluxes, otherwise hi2u forever90 WoE weapon

Just hit me up for mine- if you're actually going to use them (and not just sell them) I am happy to give them away.

I've personally received more dice from flux 6 than I have from 9/10/11.

Pretty sure it's all random.

I've gotten 4 decay and 2 ruin so far. Smells like SE - 'Yeah guys, upped drop rate on Coin of Decay for testing. Got one or two every few runs and it looks good!' *Forgets about all the other coins, Ruin's drop rate was that much higher to begin with*

Interesting how servers are different. On mine, 7 and 9 are always done, 11 is rarely done, and 1-6,8,10 are always empty.. There will be 150 people in the zone and they will all be on 7 or 9 or (rarely) 11.

I have been spamming Conflux 7 all week and from ~40 runs these are the coins I have collected.

Birth: 10
Advancement: 8
Glory: 7
Decay: 22
Ruin: 21

I don't know if there is some method to this madness, but as you can see I have definitely been getting a lot more coins of Decay and Ruin. the unfortunate thing is that I am only after the coins of Advancement and Glory...

Since the updates Coin drops have really been random of course like everything else, scrolls, die etc... I have gotten coin sacks and spells from runs where I did almost nothing to help the win out. (How I felt anyway) And straight crappola from runs where I absolutely dominated.

For one, the fact that you need to win the run to get anything at all is a bit of a bummer. Something that would really help out is making the win chests transferrable to party lottables. At least that would help with getting the Coins and Items you are actually after. Also promote incentive for more party groups. Of course your whole party may or may not make it into the actual flux. Depending on ammount of people there.

That is my two cents thrown into the wind.

I was also wondering... there is -no- use for any coins that we are -not- using since we can't sell them, trade them, or anything else, right?
I was wondering if they could add a goblin that would 'sell' devious dice for "Coins".. at least then there would be some use for them (or does SE expect us to level and get -ALL- the WoE weapons?)

Not a terrible idea. If not dice , maybe something else useful. Any sort of trade off for the coins you're not going to use would be neat.
