Only one +5 tome from the mimic hunt?

DDO wiki says the +5 tomes were only one per sever and account. Just got my first one (BTCoA) and would like to now if I can turn the mimics of now or should bother some more. Has anybody some info about possibilities to get more tomes?

If I remember correctly, they were 1 per toon. I know I got 1 for each of my toons last mabar.

Any type of tr most likely allows u more toming.

A more interesting question is: are card 9 and 10 as rare as the other card event 9, 10 cards, or better overall?

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

Out of about 2K motes (200 cards), I pulled one IX and one X.  1-8 seem to be roughly uniform.

1-8 are probably the same chance because no-one really cares.
9 & 10 are rarer because of their association with the tome.
Too bad if you want a lvl 24 item....
They need to disentangle the Mabar gear from the tome cards.

1% drop rate seems to be what people are seeing overall.
Some are doing much better getting 1 in 30 (twice) - that means some poor bastard isn't.....

2000 mimics is a lot of grind for one +5 tome....

Who even needs a +5 tome any more?

Lol, you all should have bought a set of +5 tomes and duped them when you had the chance.  No grinding, just a little dc magic and every toon is magically delicious.  Grin

With +5 upgrade tomes going for ~500-1000 AS on khyber ASAH, it's probably worse to do the trade ins for cards IX and X when you can just sell the motes. 

Of course +5 upgrades aren't always available on the ASAH, but still....

Some serious irony when the cards are rarer than the prize....
Shame there is no other way to get the lvl 24 Mabar gear....

Sarlona is a chinese server. That means they have china adjusted prices for otherwise highly regarded items. Cheesy

Khyber actually has the best AH in the game, availability-wise. Most prices are definitely at the high end though, yeah.

That's confusing. I don't know whether to salute the dupers at a job well done, or be amazed at how many item-farmers there are on Khyber. The third, and frankly bizarre, possibility is that many people are finding DDO fun to play.

Yeah you can get +5 pure tomes for less than 250-300 shards. +6 upgrade tomes don't sell for that much

Don't hate the player, hate the game, bro.  You that morally correct with your minimum wages when you buy your Velveeta?  Easiest path to target is what matters, period.  Roll Eyes

You can grind out your motes (or even dupe them) and you might get lucky.  I could take a tiny bit of cash, buy one set of tomes and magically apply them to every toon in the stable, then go back on adventuring.   Grin
