Drop rates - Guild Wars Forums

I am certain this has been asked before - but is there any drop rate % - calculator for drops for this game?

I'm trying to collect 1 Iboga Petal, i have killed nearly 20 Iboga fangs but no cigar.

No, there is no calculator. ArenaNet does not release their program setup for the drops.

I can give you one if you want to meet now at Kamadan Int district 1.

I can wait about 15 mins.

Every mob has a fixed droprate for it's trophy drops, but the rate isn't revealed to the public. For most mobs like ibogas it's quite common, surely above 20%. Just one very important factor - if you want to get some, go SOLO as henchmen or heroes reduce your chance greatly. With just 1 hench in your team your hance is cut by half, with 2 it's just 1/3 of solo chance, and in a party of 4 you get only 1/4 of what you'd get
I'm not mentioning the "loot scaling" mechanism here, while very important normally, it's almost irrelevant in the low level areas if you kill slowly (no more than 3 mobs per 30 seconds)

so if the chances are one in 20 and you have 4 people in your party you are now looking at killing over 80 of them just to maybe get one.

Just wait until you need something that is rare and you have 8 in your party. If it is a 1 in 100 chance and it takes 2 minutes to kill the thing - like a boss.. then you have to kill it 800 times or more just for the drop. That will take you 26 hours of playing just to get one...maybe...

Solution. Farm you but off for GOLD. Then buy the thing.
