Artificats and such

[Arilien]

Couple of quick question.

1. Can you get the Kasa of the Ra-Jin anymore? I was looking it up on the site and everything says it is from turning in stuff during publish 21 and 32. So does that mean it is unavailable now?

2. I currently hunt with a Chiv/Bushido/Archer. We recently just returned so have only been playing for about a month. In that time hunting together pretty much 90% of the time he has gotten 6 or 7 minor artifacts, I am including set pieces in this. I have gotten exactly one and was not even on my mage when I got it. Was on my Bushido/Swords character. Am I doing something wrong on mage? Do I need to do more damage. I do not feel like my Bushido char is doing all that much more dmg.

Kasa no longer spawns.

If you're doing bushido right, then you get 1000 extra luck from perfection on each kill, which accounts for some of the difference. The rest is explainable by real life luck.

My mage has a similar problem. Outside of spawning in Despise (an activity I can't do any more), he has never had an artifact drop after 15 months of play. My necro-warrior, now ABC archer, has had dozens with less play time.

It's part of my reasoning that luck does, in fact, make a difference.

My tamer with 90 luck got an alchemist's bauble while doing an ilshenar champ spawn.... A greater mongbat paragon.

It really is just a matter of repetition. kill lots and lots of paragons.

If you can't get a Kasa, join a faction.
You can buy a better Kasa that has 10 DCI for only 1000 silver.
They also have a better Rune beetle Carapace.

Ok follow up to this question.

I am now at the point were I can kill Daemon paragons on my own. I spend most of my time down in the Blood dungeon. However when I say on my own I mean with 2 Earth Elems and however many Flesh Golems I have up at the time. Basically put the Elems on it and spam Energy Bolt while healing the Elems. I usually have no issues killing them fairly quickly this way. However I have yet to get an arty from it. My question is how does the game decided if I have done enough damage to get an arty. Are my Earth Elems considered part of my damage? Do I have to do more damage than both of them to be considered. There are times when I am fighting a Paragon Daemon where after all is said and done I do not even get Fame and Karma, I do however get loot. Does this mean I am not doing enough damage?

Sorry to ask so many questions I am just not sure how the whole arty/Paragon thing works. I did manage to get 2 arties off Blood Elems fighting with my friend, Gold Bricks and a Night's Kiss. However I have a super slayer book for them so do significantly more damage and do not actually summon anything at all. Friend is a Sammy/Archer and just runs em around while I drop Flamestrikes and Explosions on them.

Ilsenhar artys are tough to get, and not really worth the time imo.
Fun to fight for, but not reliable enough to get a good arty.

Your summons count for you. It's just really random.
I would hunt somewhere else like Twisted weald spiders for better loot and better artifacts.
