% Drop Rate?

[Ludwig-von-Mises-I]

I have a question. What is the Drop Rate from killing creatures?

I think i'v figured it out by doing some calculations on my calculator but i'm not sure how much your level changes your drop rate percent? Or maybe the type of creatures you kill, plus level, plus the type of quest? Quests keep count of your kills so this is way i'm asking maybe the quest changes something too?

Well i think the best people that can answer this are the developers etc so this is really a question to them for the most part.

Thanks for reading.

Few days ago I was grinding my necro off and in 5 minutes dropped 5 items from which 3 were good enough to sell it in AH. Strange, never had that insane drop rate.

I did not calculate the droprates. but from my experience you drop something every 50 mobs or so. On level 50+ that is... droprates on lower levels seem way higher.

The problem I have with the droprates is that it's nearly impossible to drop something over special rarity. You grind your char for days on mobs and all you get are white/special lvl 50 staves... that is really unrewarding in my opinion

I would like to ask you how many epic or legendary items you have dropped so far while leveling one character to level 60.

I recently decided to get the aquantis destroyer achievement and after 500 mobs I dropped 3 staffs. Hows that for drop rate lol

Here's what i did to find out the drop rate: Data is on photo with a photo for each drop. Let me know if you don't understand something or have something to add. :]

My conclusion but not my definitive conclusion is that the drop rate from that specific creature quest at my level 56 knight is 2.7% out of 100, give or take. Meaning that these drops may not drop at your first 100 kills or your first 50 or 60 kills but it will from what i'v seen be gathered up to give you around 15 drops out of 556 creatures killed. So my question is really does your level change how much you drop?

Also notice that almost all of those 15 drops are junk except somewhat that Barb Helmet. Also whats with those level 46 drops from a level 57i think creature? That makes no sense. e.o

As I said earlier the drop rates seem to decrease the higher your level is. When you create a new char and start to kill mobs you will get a drop every 5 mobs or so (atleast it was that way 2 years ago)

I'm not sure if gems count as drops like weapons and armor do.

Lvl 60 mobs dropping lvl 50 gear is just stupid, you are right

But it's good to know that droprates are about 2% for lvl 55+ chars... and that is for normal(white) gear... with the killspeed of a normal regnum char ( +-15sec per mob) that would be 12.5 minutes for one drop... not incuding resting time.

It is obvious that drops decrease the higher you go by the simple fact of creating a new character in starting zone. My question is more precise. What is the drop rate at level 55-60 and at around that level how much does it change and to what %? And if possible to get: What is the precise percentage of drops at all levels? I can find this out by simple tests at each level but that will take time. I prefer to get the answer already. q.q

Also as you can see from the data shown, i'm trying to find out the pattern of how spaced the drops are from one-another. I think with a few more tests i'll have a good understanding of how the pattern is in terms of how spaced drops are dropped from each other.
