in the past posts, ive read that the drop rate has been nerfed a lot, and a lot of people have given up on hunting for it. well, there is this one store in dunby that keeps selling them a lot, by one person. i also see in current posts that people are actively hunting for them?? i've spent more than
2 mil on burst knight burns so far. one i haven't burned yet; the rest failed save one, which gave me a suckie +1 explosion resist. i burned 1 at a rank 1 enchanter, another at a rank 2 enchanter, and 3 at a rank 3 enchanter (1 was succeeded by him). im thinking this is just too much money gone down the drains yo. and i'm not a rich person >.< so its like a thousand daggers in my heart lol. should i keep spending my little money on these burns? whenever i have like 350k i spend it all on one burn. then im broke and work to 350k again, and spend it all again. i really need this enchant but im wondering if its better for me to hunt for them or spend on it? seeing other people hunting for them, it makes me feel like it's maybe do-able?

Endless Dreams: If you can't afford to buy, just hunt for them. With service, you don't get camping penalty, so the experience adds up. If you have a skill that needs prof to get title or something, work on that as well if you are trying to collect titles.
Scontro: If you are willing to spend time hunting for it then you should.
bebepanales: where is it better to hunt? the wolves or the boars??
MrRime: It depends on your cp. High cp players, like me, are forced to hunt at boars or else weapon prof will be wasted. If you're low on cp and/or don't care about weapon proficiency, then I suggest killing wolves since they're much weaker.
Tarvos: I'd say go hunting also. I spent 1 and a 1/2 hours there, and I got like 6 warhammers. Prof and exp make the grind worth it, since it's multitasking.

Is burst knight worth it?

i believe so. right now i have 3 equips burst knighted:
*2/9 dragon crest
*3/2 dustin vambrace
*3/9 valencia boots
just wearing those give me explosion resistance (vamb already has 2 explode), and they can be applied on good armor equips. they dont require bridging, and you dont need to overwrite a good suffix on your armor (imp on mine) just to get explosion resist. the strength boost is a plus~ see i have added 20 strength, when my original intent was to just make an explosion set without having to use a dustin / fish gaunts / bbfh. i tried that combo and i looked FUGLY!! thats why i was so desperate to get burst knight on my other equips. id rather use a helmet than a bbfh for rabbie adv. fish gaunts are just ugly. dustin did not suit me as a female so i was able to sell it and buy a val instead.
i dont think ill be burst knighting any more things, since the whole point of it was to complete the explosion combo. if i get a val gaunt i think i'd just giant it for the strength. its more affordable and is a guaranteed 5 strength.

Holy crap 1.5 hours and you got 6 burst knights????? I spent 4 hours and got 0 of them. Before that took 3 hours for 2 of them. I have cp gear does it make them drop more if I go down till they are boss level?

i dont think so. wiki only mentions that weak/weakest drops less. the other cp levels should have the same drop rates.

I would much rather hunt for them. I saw some guy hunting with high crit weapons and 1 hit wming. It was pretty efficient. Too bad Im too lazy to actually go hunting. > <
