Not been playing this game for too long, just 2-3 months, but in that time the ability to get skills has reduced a mile.

I joined at the start of the Mobius event which gave a lot of skills although I was too weak (level wise) to exploit it properly. I found out early the joys of 'B' Summons which gave skilled monsters 8/10 times. Then this got nerfed down to around 4/10 but still just about viable.

After the last update and the Ruins of Lost Souls event the summons within that event gave skill-less returns 9/10 times. This is now the same for 'B' Summons. Just ran through 14 of these summons and the first 13 were skill-less with just the last one offering up a skilled monster. Raiding crystals is now not a sensible obtion for gaining skills. So all we have left is to hope A Team runs another high skill event.

How does A Team expect any of the newer players to compete with the more established players if they only have 10% of the opportunity to gain skills as the older players enjoyed back in the day? I am leveling up to the mid-high levels now and am going to be running into more and more maxed skill teams whereas despite me being skill obsessed from very early on have none of my team past skill 10. And most of the skill they do have was done in the first month of play.

Are you kidding me! Really? I used 4 more today, all skill-less. I reckon for my last 50 B summons I have had about 5 skills.

from my last 9 B summon, I got 5 skills. Most of these are from the B summons in the Lost Souls event but I don't think its any different from raid crystals.

Unless you count the garbage skills no one wants, 1 out of 6 is pretty accurate.

Personally I never count Slumbering but not even getting that.

Test this on a much larger scale before throwing these statements out. It's the only accurate way to determine if they indeed changed the skill drop rate. For me, the skill rates are just about the same as they have always been. Perhaps it's time you go out and buy a lucky rabbit's foot or something. lol

OK I'll do just that. I have decided to keep raiding as when not playing the event it is the sole way of getting skills. Apart from that I am encouraged that maybe I am just having a ridiculously bad run.

I will be surprised if it has not dropped though. I traded for 100 crystals in the first month and used half before an update and half after. And I was recording my returns to see if buying crystals was worth it. In the first 50 I had 28 summons and 7 unskilled to 21 skilled. Last 50 I had 27 summons and 19 were unskilled. Maybe bad luck but as you said a small sample size.

So I will endeavour to track my next 200 summons and report back on this thread.

well it seems like you had a run of very good luck in the first 28 and the second batch even it back out. If you average your two sets its about 50-50 skill to unskill which is roughly what most are seeing.

These results from other players both encourage and frustrate me at the same time. Started into my 200 now and not many in but so far have a 0% success rate for getting skills.

Just updating the thread

Had 100 summons now so half way through. So far 66 unskilled and just 34 skills. Lets hope the 2nd 100 bring more luck!
