Watcher's Eye Drop Rate -- Official Drop Chance?

I'm 0/20+ yellow/red elders and 0/3 on uber elder.

This is sorta why I want some official response. Seems like the drop chance is so low compared to 3.1. Really makes doing the whole process of spreading influence and everything much less rewarding and feels like a huge waste of time.

I agree with the others who said 10% or so. I did 50 uber elders in std and got 5. Abyss league (I didnt play this league) I did ~100 red elders and got 9.

Could be as high as 20% and I just had bad RNG. Either way - dont expect it.

This is why I don't waste my time or by giving them money. Reward vs. death is ridiculous.

1/6th was my mental thought from what i'd read + my own experience, which also fits in with what people are saying here getting 0/20 isn't that unlikely sadly :/

Having strictly farmed nothing but Elder and Friends as well as Uber Elder since they come to the game.. im pretty confident in saying its around 20-25% Chance for a Watchers Eye to drop from Either Uber or Normal Elder. "Currently!!!" (Very Important...) Im leaning more towards the 20% side.. Could possibly be less even now.. ill get to that though.

And the reason ive did this since they released?????
Second elder kill i ever got first in Red Maps.. 25-30ex Jewel Drops.. It was like people say Crack is.. i had to have MORE!!!!
Whats funny though im almost certain the first League they had the shit it was closer to 50% Chance to Drop.. Seeing as how that League i made close to 100ex or more on JUST Watchers Eyes they dropped so often. I had 3 or 4 drop in a row.. Never even went more than 1 kill without a drop in Abyss in fact.. if it didnt drop this fight it was almost certain the next. And multiples in a row was common.. But i dont guess many people was farming it as they are now. Which makes sense considering back then it was SO fucking much harder to get the spawns as well.. So theres that too to consider.

Ever since though? Im lucky to have one drop 1 in 4-5 now.. with stretches as high as 10-12 runs with nothing at all.. And best case seeing two jewels drop in a row is insane now. They did absolutely Tweek the drop from the first league there's no doubt in my mind the difference in drop chances are very noticeable from Abyss compared to ANY League since Abyss.... And again this is the content i target every league as well. Gotten pretty good at it too with me being capable of up to 3-4 spawns per day if im pushing hard and focusing on just Elder Farming. Abyss? Yeah one spawn a day was good. Getting a second was very tough.. So maybe they tweeked it just because of that fact? IDK..

And just in case.. all this feedback is based primarily on Normal Red Tier Elder.. With Uber Elder kills about 8-10 or so in between all those normal kills across ALL leagues played. Which only make up a very very small fraction of my farming. but the only difference really is a much tougher fight and a jewel that rolls 3 mods instead of 2. However ive only had 2 out of all those Uber Fights to NOT drop a Jewel so if i went by that it would look like Uber has a better Drop Chance but i do not believe this to be the case.. i think that's just RNG poking its head in there to fuck with me..
