450 GM's, One Recipe

[Shadow Metal]

I've killed over 450 Giant Monsters since the patch was released and only picked up one mini pet recipe. Either I'm just really unlucky or there's something wrong with the drop rate.

How did you defeat 450 Giant Monsters in one day? 😳 

 

Edit: Also note the below -

 

Giant Monsters

Adamastor

• Adamastor's Monstrous Aether now shares cooldown with their merit rewards.

Ghost of Scrapyard

• Ghost of Scrapyard's Reward Merits and Monstrous Aether now have an 18-hour cool-down to reward on the same character.

My guess, Scrapyard, and he was talking about the first patch, so pre-fix.

 

The drop rate does seem low, but I don't have near the number to be statistically certain.  (And I need to figure out how to toss my stats delve into my log to throw out beta results)

The patch that released the recipes. Yes, a bunch were Scrapeyard before the patch, but even after the drop of Aether and Merits shouldn't effect Recipes. Also, actively hunting can get you quite a few GM fights per day, especially playing multiple toons.  

 

I'm now over 500 and still just one drop.
