Do Heroes effect the drop rate? - Guild Wars Forums

I was farming last night in southern shiverpeaks with a full compliment of Heroes. All 3 that is.

I must have killed everything in the area, yet I only had about 10 drops. Most of which were scrawl headgear or some other scrawl thing.

Hardly any gold, or armor or blue or purple items.

I think I killed close to 75-100 creatures.

From experience that drop rate is remarkably small.

Ive had better drops in nightfall, like a few golds for instance, but I would still say the rate was worse then usual when using henches.

Plus ive played almost through the entire nightfall compaign with just two missions left and I havent had a green drop yet.

When I played through factions with henches the first time around, I had about 3 or 4 green drops by the time I reached the end.

The same goes for Tyria. I had found atleast 2 or 3 greens by the end. With just using henches.

I cant help but think Heroes do effect the drop rate.

all you have to do is A go with a full team of pugs, no hency/heros, or if ur soling a nboss take ur hencys+ heros and kill the badias around him then send them off so there names are grayed out then solo kill him and u shoudl get the drop

Not having someone in range of a kill has not affected the drops for me previously as I've seen drops for people way out of range. So unless there has been a update recently that changed this I don't think it works.

yea thats why going into UW and Fissure with heroes and henchies, while a lot easier because you don't get people leaving all the time on you, its a pain cause the drops are no where near as good as with a full player party.

I suppose thats the balance of it after all. Anet rewards better those that play well with others.
