How is it that Sceptre of the Gods is more rare than end game armor and weapons? I've been here for literal weeks dude isn't the drop rate like 1/480, I think it's bugged or broken or something I'm seeing many people complaining about this specific items drop rate, there are a few other Niche items that also appear to be super duper Anderson Cooper rare yet provide minimal benefit to the overall users experience, I get this is an MMORPG but why does it take longer to get a Sceptre of the Gods then it does to get a Bow of the Last Guardian which is 5-10B GP?

you can go dry on drops. thats all thats happening

i also went dry on sotg.

just because you dont have it yet doesnt mean there is a bug.

i obtained 84 jewelled statues from engraved sarcophagus before i got sotg.

however if you think there is a minimal benefit to it. why are you going for it? if you dont see the need. then dont do it.

isn't the drop rate like 1/480 Sort of. The wiki says:
Original message details are unavailable.

The chance of finding the sceptre is 1/625, which is increased to 1/480 by either wearing the master camouflage outfit or with tier 3 or higher luck.

The reason I'm going for it is because it would be nice to have an extra 7-17 teleports depending on achievements completed and not have to carry 4 extra sceptres due to the low amount of teleports the Pharaoh's Sceptre provides, having to grind several months for an extra 7 teleports then having to grind an extra month or two for the hard achievements granting an extra 10 teleports, is a little much?

Why can't we just complain about what seems wrong in hopes that the devs will make it better as oppose to just quitting the content all together?

on rare occasions jagex does a minigame weekend where pp drop rates are increased for the god sceptre and the normal sceptres

think we need one of those I 100% agree with this but I think this was the last Dev team or something because it's been multiple years since the last event and I think the people who ran it are gone so we will likely never see another event like this =(

They should sell it for GP. The game would be better if players could get it and use it, rather than just be looking for it.

I don't think it should be sold for GP due to how rare it actually is, another billion GP item isn't going to be good especially with the minimal benefit it provides, I just think the drop rate on so many items could use a little fine tuning.
