Are drops (especially special, magical, epic) and gem drops completely random?

For example, am I more likely to get more and better drops in wz vs inner realm?

Does killing different mobs/creatures more likely to give better drops? For example, is killing Giant Troll better than Aquantis Elite (they're both level 50)?

Thanks.

drop system is random pretty much

Unless you're lvl 50.

It is random but you get less drops the higher the level is and it seems that using boosters increases the chances of drops although that is just a hunch unless someone made some stats about that.

try to grind in diff. places. like.............if u get a drop for example at Imp beach, stop and go to ignean orc camp.

i tried that stuff, works for me. i get normal drops most of time. special very rare (mag/epic is impossible for me to get from mobs lol)

In my years in RO, I can say that it is completely random.
There were days in which I got several drops. Days in which I got none...
You just have to be lucky!

Just like that.
But I feel like the drop rate was decreased over the last time...

yes it was decreased.

earlier, when i wasn't lvl50, i could make over 100k gold 4-5hours grinding at efe beach. now i can make only max 60k in 6hours.

I think the % chance is changed vry slightly by the lvl of the mob - compaired to your lvl. but this is only based on my conj being able to kill orange mobs easily with a summon. It appears im getting more drops, but it maybe down to the fact i can allways fill to my max load b4 going to a shop, having zero to <500 repair costs. It is therefore easy to note i get 3-5 drops for every 1-2 hours or so of grinding.

If it is totally random, then if you want to increase your drop rate you just need to kill - unchanleging mobs - vry fast to kill so lots more chances for a drop. This should apply even if the higher your lvl the lower your chance..Might give this a go when i nxt log on.

EDIT: 2 hrs of unchalenging kills...no drops.....30 mins of easy/very easy 4 drops each 10 lvls below mine.

More arrows for the archers is needed in the drop lists..hardly ever get them, and i dont mean 'special' arrows.....just a good selection of what you can buy.

Also the drops from the mob bosses is imho crazy for the amount of effort needed to kill them. You get about 3 times the xp/gp, and prob the same drop chance of an item, as from the normal mob. As it can take 2,3 or more players to kill them....or solo for ages, it makes them generally not worth the effort..An increase of xp + gp is needed for these.

What id like to know is.... where are the "epic" drops that have +7% cast speed and +5% cast speed and +28 dmg... all on same item? Ive seen this before, but am told that it is a "grandfathered" item, and that these are no longer available. Is this true, are they still available, and where can we actually get DECENT epic items?

I have before now, on Arathael, spent five hours killing exclusively Ignean Orc Warriors, Giant Stone Golems, and Cyclops Warrior Masters. These mobs are “Very hard” to a level 50 player. Drop return has been abysmal: Best I managed was a level 37 special staff from the Orcs. Gold return was quite bad too. Loot was reasonable if golem sand, war signets, and cyclops body parts (read: cheap loot) is your thing. I only just managed to profit after item repair costs for each session.

If it is totally random, then if you want to increase your drop rate you just need to kill - unchanleging mobs - vry fast to kill so lots more chances for a drop. This should apply even if the higher your lvl the lower your chance..Might give this a go when i nxt log on.

Arrow drops are definitely in short supply

As it can take 2,3 or more players to kill them....or solo for ages, it makes them generally not worth the effort..An increase of xp + gp is needed for these.

And actual drops as well. I have only once received a drop from a generic leader mob. Admittedly, it was epic. It was also for a level 7 warrior. This was from an "Adult Igneo" (level ~20 mob) leader.

Actually, I don't really agree. I'd prefer to get some random drop that I can sell for gold and then buy the arrows I want. It's better than getting some low-level arrows or even some you can't use until you've leveled up to their level.

I seem to be getting a lot of gear for other classes. Is that normal? And what's the rationale behind this? I got level 50 barb, knight, and conj gear but only 1 level 47 bow.
