Or do they just not show up in casual PVP any longer? ---

NEVER MIND. Finally got one. I think the game monitors this forum. Gave me a pet rescue 3 battles after I posted here!!! ---

Seriously, though. Haven’t seen a Pet Gnome show up in PvP since Wednesday morning. What am I doing wrong? ---

You’re just unlucky, or not chewing through enough battles per minute, or both. ---

I have been playing **plenty** of PVP battles. Should I file a Bug Report when the Pet Gnome doesn’t show up for over three days? Is anyone else this unlucky? Could the Developers at least _consider_ “incremental odds” where every 10 battles or so the appearance chance goes up by a percent or two, then reset when the Pet Gnome is finally revealed? ---

I play to Ranked PvP every week and play Casual PvP for many battles. Sometimes I go weeks with out finding a pet gnome. It’s luck, it’s not a bug ---

Glad it’s not just me who thought things seemed off. I haven’t seen one in 2 weeks whereas before I’d get one or two. ---

This isn’t a bug, just a case of bad luck. Pet gnomes are still at the same encounter chance. ---

5 weeks of pvp level 1 and beyond and not 1 pet gnome. In fact 1 gnome total in the process. Don’t give me this RNG excuse yet again you’ve downsized the drop rate and we know it. ---

It’s RNG - sometimes it’s your friend, other times your enemy. I got several yesterday doing casual pvp. I see no real difference in the drop rate, personally. RNG is neutral to me at the moment. ---

Tier 1 in Pvp mean roughly 25 matches, 5 weeks is 125 matches Meanwhile the drop rate for pet gnome is estimated at around 150 matches / 1 pet gnome ---

RNG? Fair enough. I remember getting 1 a day, on average, including 1 on Wednesday. Apparently my memory is faulty. Time to start measuring this, I suppose. I would really like to know the actual percentage. This will take awhile. Thank you, everybody. ---

> [@rbchaffe](#): > > I remember getting 1 a day, on average, including 1 on Wednesday. Apparently my memory is faulty. When pet gnomes were first released they used to trigger a lot more often. But… Pet gnomes are only in ranked / casual PVP now, before you could go get them through one hit kill explore battles. Which I think is where most of them came from. More gnomes now, so odds of getting a pet gnome is lower. ---

> [@UKresistance](#): > > More gnomes now, so odds of getting a pet gnome is lower. Yeah. Not sure who wanted the mecha gnome, but adding that one was the worst ever. Ingot drops are useless; and it lowered the percentage chance of getting a pet gnome. ---

i think there was alot of people complaining about not enough Epic ingot ingame ---

I remember the discussion. Seems like those people never delved. Ingot poverty is an extremely short term problem in the game. ---

> [@Lorien1973](#): > > Seems like those people never delved. Epic ingots can’t be obtained by delving. That’s not to say the Mecha Gnome was a perfect way to solve the epic ingot shortage, but it’s definitely harder to obtain them than others. ---

They can be in a roundabout way: I get 30ish free ingots a day now. If they’re all commons, that’s 3 rares, .3 ultra rares, and/or .03 epics. And often they’re not all commons, which accelerates the rate of acquisition (if one is willing to accept the soul tax). ---

Yeah that’s true. I’ve never thought about crafting ingots because weapons haven’t held me back from Kingdom power yet, but I certainly have a lot of extra Common/Rare/Ultra-Rares, partially from my renown rewards.
