CoF Prophecy triggers are confusing? Or bugged?

I just picked up a Prophecy:
Event: Deaths of rare enemy (7)
Condition: Monolith
Reward: Unique Armor (8 Weavers Will)

I went into a monolith and starting killing things. Shortly into it, I hear a ding and see a message saying words to the affect of ‘Prophecy in progress’.

I check my prophecy and see fulfilled 1/8 times, but nothing dropped.
I keep going and shortly afterwards I have a Unique drop, which has Weavers Will. I check the prophecy and it now says 2/8 times fulfilled.

How is it meant to work? Is there a chance the fulfilment won’t drop an item? And does the 7 next to the even mean 7 rare enemies have to be killed before 1 fulfilment is triggered? I don’t feel that I killed 14 in such a short time. Or perhaps there was a bug a the first rare enemy killed triggered the ‘prophecy in progress’ message, but also incremented the fulfilment counter?

I’ve had the same issues with killing exiled mages. I killed 2 got nothing still said 0/3. Killed another and a unique dropped. It said 1/3. I killed two more and got no credit. So I have no idea what’s going on.

The “1/8 times” etc. means you have to kill 8 times and you have done it 1 time so far, once you get 8/8 times then you have completed the whole prophecy and you will get the reward.

I got a reward from 2/8. So not sure what is going on there then. What does the 7 next to the ‘Deaths of rare enemy’ mean?

That means you have to kill 7 rare enemies.

Did you get a “reward” from the prophecy or did you just happen to get a drop based on the regular RND? When you get the prophecy reward it will tell you the prophecy has been completed.

I thought you initially said the 1/8 means I have to kill 8 times?
Or do you mean I’m expected to kill 7 rare enemy to fulfil once and I need to fulfil it 8 times before getting a reward (i.e. kill 56 (7x8) rare enemy)?

I have 2 Weaver Wills items in my inventory now, which when dropped had ‘prophecy’ related text show up on the screen. Funny thing is, the prophecy said Weaver Will 8, but they are both 11 and have the CoF Rank 2 required stat. Perhaps the Weaver Will 8 is the minimum they can drop?

I checked my prophecy and it showed 5/8 fulfilled. I just had another Weavers Will drop (14) and prophecy now says 6/8 fulfilled. Something seems a little janky with how it works.

The prophecy just finished/removed from my list once it completed 8/8 and it was incrementing 1 every 7 rares killed. Although I was expecting 8 Weaver Will items to drop, I only received 4 from the prophecy.

The 1/8 Fulfilled means you can get the same reward 8 times, not that you have to complete it 8 times.
Unless EHG have the same terminology for two different Prophecy types.

I had a Prophecy that rewarded Exalted Axes when killing a Diamond Matron & had 3 Fulfills. I killed one 3 times & got the reward 3 times.
On the other hand I have a Prophecy to kill Orobyss for a 16 Weavers Will Armour, Killed him 3/8 fullfills with no reward.

Maybe you have one that I haven’t seen yet. I know there is a type that you have to complete the objective that many times to complete the prophecy, that’s normally what 1/8 means.

Thanks guys. Perhaps they are still ironing out how it all works. I wish it was consistent with how it worked.

The way it read to me, for my prophecy made sense.
Death of enemy-y (x-times) was what was needed to trigger the item to drop. Then the fulfilment part, being 1/8 meant I could do it 8 times i.e. instead of having the same prophecy spilt up 8 times for single use only, they just put it as one and gave me 8 shots at doing it.

When I started counting the number of times I killed a rare (looking out for their auras/name bar) ,sure enough, every 7th killed and the fulfilment counter went up 1. But I didn’t get a drop every fulfilment, only every second fulfilment.

I had the Exiled Mages prophecy too. There’s a large number in a circle to the top left (I think) that indicates how many enemies you have to kill. In my case, I had to kill 3 exiled mages to fulfil the prophecy once and get the reward. At that point, the prophecy showed 1/3 fulfilled.

I could then repeat this 2 more times, killing a total of 9 exiled mages to get 3 rewards.

Hope that helps.

Update:
Just killed Orobyss & got a 16 Weavers Gloves, this was 4/8. Prophecy is still in my Prophecy tab.
Another Orobyss kill & a 16 Weavers Boots.
5/8 still in prophecy tab.
Looks like the first 3 were bugged.
