Changes are pretty low you do in hm or nm?

Greens drop the same in NM and HM. Greens do not have a known drop rate, so what ever the chances of the boss dropping the green at all, you have a 1 in 5 chance it will be for you. If the boss has a 1 in 5 chance of dropping the green for anyone, then you have a 1 in 25 chance of him dropping it and you getting it. Its not good, but if you can't farm him solo, take as few heroes/hench as you can, and expect to take time unless you get lucky.

According to the info from ANet given in Silly Warrior's sticked farming guide http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10167772 green items, being unique, are not included in the loot scaling. If one drops at all, it will drop for you.

So, you, like me, will kill the same bosses 50 times and never get the green, or you, like my guildie, will get a green everytime you kill a boss.

So to answer correctly and short - 1/5 the chance in NM/HM.

Exempt from loot scaling does not mean exempt from having the drops assigned to your heroes/henchies. MagmaRed is correct that in your current party setup, if the green has a 1 in 5 chance of dropping(which is absurdly high), you'll have a 1 in 25 chance of getting it.

it's all on luck based
you can farm a boss a few times a day and get his green 5 times in a day
and the other day only farm crap from him

I've been running Dejarin Estate at various times, and ended up getting Dwayna's Scythe within two days of on-off runs, while Lulu's Spear, nearby, hasn't dropped for my Paragon yet. I ended up getting The Darksong, Eye of Argon, and Shagu's Anthem all on runs after skill capping, whereas Shagu's dropped on the first time out, while my fifth Lulu's run last night went nadda. I usually run a 8 H/H party, since I consider my AI buds, additional 'weapons', so to speak.

Saying this, Lulu's will likely drop for me today, since I hate being one upped by a bunch of server math. (Plus the spear looks nice to me, me wants.)

Luck is indeed a cruel whim of Dwayna. =^^=

EDIT: And so I said, within 10 runs. (Think it was six or seven runs.)

Probably between 5 and 1%

Suprisingly enough 1 in 5
