There are two ultra rare items I would gladly trade all of my 5* awakening mats for, and in a heartbeat. They are 1* yellow and 2* green evolution runes.
I played 350 BNW runs to earn my new Tali set (mmm, delicious), all Life, mostly X. I saw rainbows drop in spades. I saw 1* greens, and 2* yellows, and so many 3* thingymabobs of all shades of color that I will never, ever be able to spend them. Care to guess how many 1* yellow and 2* green runes I received for my efforts? Not a one.
For months (unfortunately I cannot claim “years...” too green) I have been getting my 2* Green Evo Runes from Kingdom of the Sands - Madness. Or I have not been getting them. I have been getting my 1* Yellow Evo Runes from Underworld - Normal. Or I have gone without. Brave New World is supposed to be a one-stop-shop for ALL my tali needs. Imagine if I bought my groceries at a store that didn’t sell milk or eggs.
The point is, there are workarounds but we (the player base) shouldn’t have to bend over backwards for “common” materials (which we need for every delicious new Talisman set, like this one). I have more 5* colorless awakening shards than 1* yellow runes. I have more Onyx of Ruin. And Sacred Crowns. And Starlight. I could go on. BNW droprates should be fixed.
That is all, and thank you for your time.
