Drop rates for items ? or pure luck - Guild Wars Forums

Aisius · Jun 17, 2006, 10:13 AM // 10:13

Just wondering if items (greens) dropped from certain bosses have a perticular drop rate ?
I was hoping to farm Chkkr_Ironclaw for that axe, I know that if i went solo (not possible) the drop rate would improve, but if I continue with a hench team there does anyone know if it will ever drop ?

If you use a team of henchmen your chances of getting the green item will drop. They might get the item, but you'd never know. If your doing it with a team it's best to use real people because then you know if someone got it or not.

want to say "luck" first then "drop rate".

1) remember farming the queen in the desert and it droped on 3rd run with one group. next group 10th run. both times it droped never for me.

2) farming the two new greens (6/15)! 1 drops on my frist run of the night right after the update. 4th or 5th run two fans drops for me. Yesterday 4 DANG axes drops! i didn't get one! o m g.

IMO over farming 1 area = no drops green (except Tombs of course)

since its a game we're talking about of course theres a drop rate....Ex. maybe 1/1000 boss deaths will it drop a green...and another 1/5 that the green drops for u...so...define "luck" where does it begin, where does it end?

Well yeah I think luck will always play a part in it , but I was just thinking maybe there was a formula chance to drop etc. You've all helped there and thanks.

Oh I'm in a pvp orientated guild atm but because I play from australia I find grouping difficult

. It's an awesome guild just maybe I need to try stay up later or something. GMT -- me at GMT +8.
