128462-clarification-on-artifact-drops

== Content ==
			being a major loot luster (thanks to a particular glowing orange hammer and huge lightning sword years back in a different game (did somebody say thunderfury)?), the artifact weapons in wildstar have sparked my interest since they were first announced as being a thing. that being said, even after i stopped playing for close to a year when i bandwagoned and left with the mass exodus, i'd still almost weekly check to see if avatus had been killed yet and, after he had been downed, if the guilds who had him on farm had landed an artifact yet. when i came back about a month ago i just assumed nobody had seen one drop yet because i still hadn't heard anything, but lo and behold i inspect some random guy in northern wastes and he's got the artifact ss dps weapon. asked around among some of the progression guilds on entity and apparently drops only started happening with drop 5. some people say they just weren't even in the game before drop 5, but another guy told me something about how they changed the drop rate system to increase the drop rate for every challenge you complete on avatus. he said if you complete all the challenges the drop rate goes up to 20%. anybody that knows for sure what's going on with the drop on these things?

they started dropping since drop 5, the myth tells about a chance of 0,5%-5% on avatus, and then magically after drop 5 the drop increased and challenges seems to give more chance to drop.
 
Only TT knows the truth but he wont tell us, he will just will sit and laugh.

Pink pistols dropped the other day because the lucky person that got them needed 80 people to kill a boss to attune them out in Malgrave.  :o
 
Still unsure if it was real or just grabbed the code from here: http://www.jabbithole.com/items/project-legacy-the-duelist-40088 to link to chat.

			mumpkin - they have a small % chance to drop each time Avatus is killed. In drop 5 / 1.3.0, the drop chance was updated. Now, in addition to the base % chance, each (of 5) of the challenges in Avatus' encounter you complete increases the drop chance slightly.

1 - Will the next raid tier make it into the f2p drop?  
2 - If new tier of raids coming out every 18 months, how is the longetivity of raiding going to be able to be sustained?  
3 - What are the future raids and plans?  The community speculates on Redmoon Terror, Everpool, Eldan Core(forgot the name), are there any others for future plans?  
4 - How will the artifact weapon be handled for future raids?

			What no raid/story that merges dominion/exiles factions to take out the Emperor because realize that Eldan are a bunch of *cupcakes* and trying to play god?

1 - No, it will not.
2 - This iteration between raid tiers has taken much longer than we would prefer. However, we felt that other areas of the game deserved a lot more attention in order to get them up to the standards we would prefer. The plan is that future raid tiers do not have gaps in time between them this long.
3 - Tsk, tsk, now. There are plans and ideas and other things not set in stone that you know I can't talk about until we announce them ;D
4 - Not set in stone yet, but we are aware of the unique situation that artifact weapons can cause. We'll have a more defined answer for this once new tiers begin to appear.
