Do renowned mobs still drop artifacts?

Just curious. I've done 70 or so solo in the last couple weeks and haven't seen a one. Checked corpse every time, nothing there nor in my backpack. Is the drop rate really that awful or am I unlucky or what?

Same here. Over 100 R Wyverns and no drops. Good for dust and gold though.

Just out of curiosity I made a tally (is this the right word?), a list of droppings per killing Renowned.

According to my experience I get a 'drop' averagely every 50 kill/corpse. This is just any arti, may not be the desired one.

I was lucky with the Tinker legs, which came around 50, shortly after another arti. But for this silly Basilisk Breastplate I killed over 200 Tikitavis, together with about 50-60 other Cavern Bosses I killed just out of boredom - and annoyance. Got 7 arties in that time alltogether but from Tikitavi between the second last and last drop over 100 blank!

Edit:
I hate to edit my posts but I hate even more to be inaccurate.

So just FYI (only the example Cavern of the Discarded, disired item: Breastplate)

- Fastest drop: 13 (two in the 20s)
- Latest drop: ca. 120 (sorry but I quit counting after number 100), Tikitavi, Basilisk Breastplate, Drop-Nr. after all: ca. 240
(From Tikitavi: Breastplate, Legacy of Despair (2), Mystic Garb (2) / From Vitavi: Demon Bridle Ring, Void Infused Kilt)

so in total: (did not loot every corpse)
- 7 artis; (Drop rate only Tikitavi: ca. 240 / 5 = 48)
- 732 Essence of Ballance
- ca. 180 (of each) Crystaline Blackrock, Crushed Glass, Crystal Shard, Abyssal Cloth, Arcanic Rune Stone, Loadstone, Elven Fletching, Delicate Scales, Powdered Iron, Seed of Renewal
- some Reflective Wolf Eye
- some Gold (not enough for the time spent but I guess the Imbuing stuff is worth some coin)

Wow. Thanks. Not too encouraging, but I guess I should be due for at least A drop soon.

done about 50 slashers the past few weeks. no beserker breastplate, no lavalierre.

2 - 3.0 sots. and a sprinkling of standard of chaos's.

Hopefully we will get a use for the slasher's claw as im stockpiling them.

Not even guaranteed an ML ingredient drop anymore. A guy on my shard is (I **** you not) running ghost/stealth cams on renowned spawns. Lol, what?

Now at 100 devourers (well, a few wyverns), at least 80 of which were solo, based on the ML ingredients I've been keeping from each corpse, so probably a bit over 100 total. Not a single drop, even a crappy one.

Is it possible that my character is bugged or is my luck that godawful?
