Green drop rate NMvsHM - Guild Wars Forums

What's the difference in rate?
Also, why does it seem prophecies bosses drop their greens more? Some drop 2 at a time.

Couldn't tell you specific statistical #'s but for one example, killed Xuekao the Deceptive 35 times in a row solo in nm with no daggers. First time in hm got the daggers, 15 more hm kills resulted in 3 more sets of daggers.

The only bosses I've ever seen drop more than one green at a time would be the darkness at the end of ToPk. In hm they will drop 2-3 greens per boss everytime.

The Scarab boss, Kekhpet or something like that will sometimes drop its green in a double dose.

Yeah for example I kill Kephet in NM and sometimes it drops 2 greens. Also in Sorrows Furnace NM, sometimes 2 greens in NM. Then do something in factions/nightfall/eotn and never get a green in NM. Seems weird?

Back when the was "Queen Farming" the scrab boss drop 2 greens almot every time and it was good money to cause they were like 7.5k each

retracted

Now that you mention it I have seen double greens from a boss in the furnace

lol I guess Kephet just nvr loved me that much, I have gotten back to back greens from her while re-zoning just not 2 at once.

Greens are bad anyways. I'd take a gold weapon that I can mod up to my liking over a green any day.

I don't think Loot Scaling affects greens.

From my experience there's no difference in greens drop rates in HM and NM.

And a Sorrow's Furnace boss can drop even all 3 greens at once (I've seen that myself and screenshoted), but chance for that happening is approx 0.1% - chances for every green to drop are calculated separately and most regular bosses have a green droprate of ~10-11%

I have better luck in NM than I do in HM. Sadly.

Came on to just beat the hell out of something for a few mins and got this. The spear is actually pretty good and just what I needed for Hayda lol.
