Bounties reducing drops??? - Guild Wars Forums

Mary Maiden · Jan 09, 2008, 05:49 AM // 05:49

I just started soloing lvl 20 areas where i can still get bounties for xp and ss points, but it seems like when I have bountties on, that the monsters I kill don't drop gold/items nearly as frequently

i never really noticed it when in a party of 8 but by myself a group of lvl 20 monsters drop something or gold almost everytime, but with the bounties on i might have to kill 2 groups to get 2 drops.

sorry if this was discussed in the past but I couldn't find it on a search.

does anyone else think bounties affect their farming as well?

I have noticed it when doing ss/lb farming---the only things that drop stuff for me are the mandragors! And its even worse in eton ----with my h/h party I always have took me 44 kills before I got ANY kind of drop (coins or item).
Guess they figure we need points not stuff

Obvious answer, you're being effected by loot scaling.
