Yukio's Glass Earrings. They have 125 Luck and 15% SDI. You have a supposed 1 in 8 chance of receiving them as a reward for doing the Where Is Yukio? quest. Heads-up: You have to kill 181 critters each time you run through the quest, which is repeatable. I ran it 44 times and received a total of 4 sets of earrings. Right now I am trying to decide if the grind is worth another run....Okay...in the dark here....I need to get in game more!!!! lol
What are these earrings and how and where do you get them.
4 out of 44 is within expected drop rate for them, you could get 2-3 more in the 20 runs and hit the 12.5% chance of getting them.Yukio's Glass Earrings. They have 125 Luck and 15% SDI.

usually a 100% drop rate on those.I looted a pair from an afk tamer farming in fel hythloth.
Yep, I am not getting earrings anymore because I value my time. I play to enjoy the experience. Whatever this thing is, it's not enjoyment.This quest is entirely too grindy and boring. I hope to get a pair tomorrow for my tamer/weaver then not going to look at this eff again.
the only part of UO that isn't a grind is the character creation process.I don't understand. The whole of UO is a "grind". Even crafting is a grind. What part of UO is not a "grind"? Any game where you get armor it's the same idea, kill stuff, have a chance for an item.
All of these things are easy to kill. Even yamandon. Yamandon was difficult when I was wearing ToT armor but not now.
What do you want? Clickies to get stuff. A grind would have been doing the quest once per toon.
I'm not sure if "Crazy" even starts to describe someone that has done the quest 170 times.Ya, call us crazy. Hubby and I have ran this almost 170 times now between the two of us, 27 pairs of earrings. Discord Tamers with fully built Cu's can do the quest in about 20-30 mins each time.
In crafting there is thinking involved. And yes, a lot of UO is grind, but there are good and bad ways to do it. An example of a good grind is the way pet spawning stats worked prior to the revamp. People were content to farm GDs trying to find better and better ones literally for years. Another one that could have been is if after the pet revamp they either made separate pet powerscrolls or did not have pet powerscrolls at all. People could have spent years experimenting with various pet/skill combinations. But since PS supply is extremely limited, once you have your fully scrolled pet or two, you know that whatever else you make without scrolls will be inferior, so there is no incentive to do it.I don't understand.

We're closer to 200 times now.I'm not sure if "Crazy" even starts to describe someone that has done the quest 170 times.![]()

Agreed.I don't understand how this "grind" is any different than trying to get a halo from Doom or 120 tactics from spawns or taming a rare color Cu. It's all random outcomes that could take days/weeks/months to get what you want.
At the end of the day nobody is forcing anyone here that thinks it's a grind to do the quest. If someone thinks it's such a tedious grind then that person can feel free to do some other tedious grind to make the gold to buy the earrings; ie go genocide the entire Cu population (including paragons) for 1000 hours until a blaze spawns then sell it for 5 plat and buy all the earrings you want.
I did something similar; With so many scrolls from champs and pinks from Corgul, I managed to buy 2 and I am looking for a 3rd to go on a vendor at Legends.I did the quest 5 times got none. Then I started to do Champ spawns ... with those scrolls sold I can buy all the earrings I need![]()
Same here, I did it 30 times and never got the earrings, so I just stopped. I guess I'll have to buy 'em.I've ran it 37 times and I've yet to get a pair. I'm about to give up.
