Edit: This has been solved. It is indeed once a week on 34 and 35, with an apparent showing factor of needing at least one Skolas completion.
-
Skolas is 100% first time, random afterwords 34 is random You need a treasure key for both though.
-
100% drop rate the first time a character kills skolas.
-
I got an elder cypher on my first skolas. One on a 34 after two skolas completions and my 3rd on my 3rd skolas completion
-
My friend got two at once from the 35
-
Edited by GoatBoy2407: 7/16/2015 2:51:35 PMI got one one from my first ever level 34 PoE, so it can't be that rare. But sadly I can't confirm the drop rate.

COME BACK TO LIFE!

Edited by DukeMonty: 8/28/2015 5:14:54 PMOn a per attempt basis One Skolas down, no Cipher. 18 completed 34 PoE, 1 Cipher. By week: 10 total weeks doing 34: 1 drop. 1 week trying (and beating) Skolas: 0 drops.
-
I got 3 elder ciphers from 4 runs on skolas
-
Again everyone, this is solved. No need to continue to reply. Once per week, 34 or 35. That's it.
-
Make sure you check Variks I didn't know I had one and it had an alert above Variks and boom he had the bounty for me
-
Just ran the 34 ob Monday and pick up my second bounty. First one picked Lord of wolves, think I'll go for Queenbreakers bow this time.
-
Edited by AnonPig: 8/11/2015 8:46:07 PMIt's near guaranteed on 35, but you can't receive it if you already have one
-
I finished the level 35 PoE and there was 4 elder cipher drops.
-
Did 2 POE35 and got 2ciphers. Did like 16 POE34 and got 2 ciphers there so the droprate (for me) was like: 100% on POE 35 12.5% on POE 34
-
I've gotten them about 8 times so far on 17 competitions of 35 PoE. Never got one from a 34 PoE.
-
Exotic bounties are estimated to be 2% drop, so my guess is its the same for elder cipher
-
I've only beaten skolas twice and both times I got an elder cipher. One on my warlock and Titan. I'll run my hunter but I kinda want an elemental primary.
-
Just got my first elder cipher on my third poe 34 run of the week.
-
You guys may accuse me of lying since I don't have video proof, but a friend, someone off the forums, and I did skolas today and after we killed him every single one of us got the elder cipher. That's right, it dropped for all of us. I don't know if that is extremely lucky or not or if it always happens like that but we were really happy
-
It drops pretty frequently I'm 35.
-
Has to be at least 10% of not even 25%
-
Its drop rate is high enough that everyone of my friends has at least one. The majority have all three
-
I got all 3 guns in 6 runs its pretty common and I got them all on 34
-
1. It is once-a-week, like Crux of Crota. 2. Its drop rate: REALLY -blam!-ING LOW
-
In skola's revenge is common, on my first.run i got 2 chiper and a partner got one, so if you keep doing skola's, you can easly get it
-
I'm not sure but it seems like quite a common drop on lv35 PoE. I gotten one Elder Cipher on my first run last week. On my second and third Skolas run three other people got the Elder Cipher. This week, I've gotten two Elder Ciphers out of three Skolas runs. During one of them the entire Fireteam got the Elder Cipher.
