Did you make sure that item was turned on in the Inventory window (Evolution? tab)? If you're doing multiple items it takes more, and definitely 4 or 5 or more items would take more than 1 clearing to get 1% on all of them. It seemed liked for the Crystallos Haste belt alone, it took about 20 or more mobs per 1%.
Did you leave it on a while before starting? The delay is pretty significant from what I hear (a few minutes or more).
EDIT: Since you don't get stats from Ammo slot, I doubt it will evolve in that slot either, if you happen to have had it in there.
The AMMO slot *does* grant stats. This was not true a while back but now it does. Perhaps you meant something other than "Ammo", Yther.
Have not had luck getting evolve progress on non-Alaran mobs (ie, beasts, etc.) but haven't done any dedicated testing. Certainly have heard from a couple of the big guilds on my server that it is Alaran-kills only to level this up.
Also, I notice the Lore text states, "Grants a unique power while on Alaris." This would imply that the item only grants stats while in VoA zones, but I see my Defense go up from equipping the Tear in non-VoA zones. Perhaps the Devs mis-worded the text, or perhaps they will make it not function outside VoA in the future. *shrug*
Ammo is what I meant, but was either unaware or had forgotten about the change. I skipped alot of patch notes the past year while I didn't have a subscription, and even the ones I read I may have forgotten without being in-game to investigate the stuff in detail.
That alone makes this a worthwhile item then. I doubt I would of used it with only 10 max (2 levels) difference in defense at the loss of ac, hps, and mana, as well as tons of mod2s.
I also was unaware of any changes to evolution, but it doesn't surprise me. They've been adding alot of unique-ish ways of doing things the past several expansions. I'm just glad someone with first hand or at least more accurate knowledge replied.
