Drop rate on level 50

[Recoil]

Dear NGD, why is drop rate on lvl 50 so small? I can find maybe 1 special item in 2 days of grinding, and I't won't even be of my subclass.

This is very depressing, being forced to buy xim boxes......

There's your answer!

You are not forced to buy anything.....

This game has a great community and I am sure if you tell your friends you need something they will help you obtain it.

What realm are you in?
What items do you need?

Drop rates are fine....

Hmmm, lately playing, I'm not so sure the drop rates have been messed with. I think they are as they have always been...which is to say they are horrendously random/sporatic. Sometimes, I can grind for ages, and not even see a single defective item. However the other night when I was grinding, I got 2 special bows (1 short, 1 long), and a +3 hit bonus gem. (minor adventurite I think) All within the space of about an hour. So, drops can happen more often, but it's not very common at all for that to happen I think.

I feel like there is just a blanket random-number generator/percentage or whatever that affects the chance for all weapon/armor drop possibilities regardless of quality.

If that's the case, then maybe the generation should be changed around so that you have common drops, uncommon, and then just down-right rare. So maybe regular weapons (or defective/broken items) could be more common, Specials being uncommon, magic being very rare, and then epics maybe only drop from leaders or from the named bosses. That way there's the same rarity of finding something good, but at least we feel like we're getting something while grinding so we can sell things for repairs.

Also, on the drops issue, and I know it's been discussed a thousand times already, but it's the truth. And that is that generic mob loot just does not sell for enough to compensate for the cost of repairs on equipment (or replenishing arrows)

Having more common item drops (even if they're just defective) would go a long way toward solving that issue. I mean, even if the weapons that drop are crap or defective, at least they're worth something to a merchant so we can grind for repair money. As it is right now, it is needlessly sparse.

Lumi, I don't know if you're grinding for repair money, or for usable gear, but you can always ask if one of our clan-banks is around. I've done it once or twice to get a decent bow for my level...not so much for armor though. But usually the banks have some pretty decent stuff in them. You may have already checked though, I dunno.

That's my 2 cents at any rate.

Barb stuff :/ I only see staves, bows and conju armor/gloves in drop, for like 2 weeks.

Before level 50 I could get 3-5-10 special items in a day, at level 50 I'm lucky if I get one.

In case of regular mobs, item drop rate depends on their level. The higher mob's level, the smaller drop rate. For mobs level 50 item drop rate is ~1.5%, so you have to kill ~60 mobs on average to loot an item.

He doesn't, he's making it up . There isn't a % chance, it is just totally random, but usually i get at least 5 or so drops (both special and non special) per day.

Either way 60 mobs is not a lot.
