Drop system changed quietly? - Page 2

might be yet another quiet "promotion" of lucky boxes - I grinded my knight from 46 to 50 without getting a single usable drop for any class.

I grind my warlock - level 45 atm. Last 2 days i grinded it from 44 to 45. From all my grind experience i see this - you have no drops or very few till drop break happen(i mean something happens with drop rate it starts to work - bug or anything else). If this happens you get lots of drops in short time. If you sell drops and loot you return to starting state.

And one more thing i see - i get more drops or chance is bigger from mobs that drop more loot. Some mobs drop 2-3 loot pieces, some give only xp. I do not know exactly what mobs do this - maybe it is because of your level compared to mob level or mobs on several areas drop more loot.

I do not know if I'm right, but this is what i see when i grinded my conjurer to 50 and my warlock now.

There is something strange in RO drop system.

I think it's the random function affecting drops, evades and resists that is strange.
Hell I think NGD wanted real random and the cheapest way was to hire a midget to roll a dice in the server room - but that poor guy can't keep up rolling his dice with all requests and the same values are used over and over

Re #16 I might have to start letting items break....

Had you tried searching drops in groups or alone ??

Usually gruops get more drops.

Anyways is the bigest secret hold by NGD the drops line code.

I think for higher levels, the drop chance is totally random, sometimes i get lots, sometimes nada all day. But for some reason lower levels get more drops. I started a conj character and got around 15 drops in 1 hour, so dunno how it works out.
