Ok i dont know if any has noticed this but i think theres a "trick" to underworld. And i came up with a theory, well you see Since VwK rits can solo underworld and having ecto drops at random. Yes they are random but look at these screenshots. Iv'e gotten a lot of ectos because that run was hard.

Ok you proabably dont know what im tlkinga bout so basically When you get a hard run in UW, there's a 20-5% chance you get an ecto drop!! Because today i did a UW run and it was so frikin hard i had like 3 Hp left miracle and gotten lots of ectos while a "very easy" run like with no encountered nightmares is very easy and you less likely get ectos.

Omg i dont know what im saying but basically if you get a hard run in UW, go for the smites, theres a high chance you get an ecto.

Note: This is not a troll, just my theory/opinion/wtver and this happened today because america have favor tonight. Sorry for the grammar, im working on being a nerd.

Not sure about the 20%, but something is happening with it lately because I had 5 the other night and that was before I got done with the smite crawlers.

First off, since when is using proper grammar being nerdy? So what you are proposing is that if we get close to death our chances of getting ecto increase? Just because you made a slip up does not mean that the run was "frikin hard". Your theory makes very little sense on the whole and it was very had to try to understand how the pictures helped your case at all.

You are right...

I think he's trying to say that the difficulty of the spawn is somehow tied to the drop rate of ectos. However, I don't really see what good that theory, even if true, would do.

It's human nature to attempt to impose a pattern or explanation on "random" behavior (although I doubt drops are truly random in the fullest sense of the word).

Sentience · Dec 16, 2006, 05:34 AM // 05:34

Difficulty is relative, and I have no idea what you are going on about.

Archon Calran · Dec 16, 2006, 05:42 AM // 05:42

Well actually this happened to me today too... O.O I kept trying to solo UW (my first time) and i went in about 10 times not being able to the smites because of the Aaxtaxe. I stopped because we had no favor and farmed Vermin a few times but then went back. This time i was sucessful got to the smites and killed all of them and got 2 ectos.

bored-.-bored · Dec 16, 2006, 04:36 PM // 16:36

hmm could be true this will casue every1 to get there hp down to 1 then kill the enermys so they get better drops:P

RebelHero · Dec 16, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

I had ectos drop on my first runs with my Rit... always playing safe. When I got more comfortable with using the build I could take more chances, actually several times balancing on 1 hp before VwK kicking in (once even twice in the same run). But I started getting less and less ectos.

Wow... my story implies the exact opposite of your story. I agree with previous posters. Human nature is always searching (non-existance) ways to control random events.

Crazyvietguy · Dec 16, 2006, 07:05 PM // 19:05

Well, I think its all still random, however I see what you mean. I once had 2 groups of smites that were stacked upon each other (total of 9). I got 2 globs out of that group, and one from the first group i pulled. However, i contributed this to the fact that I hadn't farmed in the UW in a while.

A sample of one isn't exactly enough to go on. Otherwise it's just coincidence. Try it out in a controlled environment, dozens of times, and post the results.

Ownageking · Dec 16, 2006, 09:42 PM // 21:42

i jave a rts and the skils but have never tryed bcoz i though everything runs from the Rts Elite skill now, has anyone got a recent Video of how to do the run, would be great

Since this thread is 100% spec. and 0% fact I'm going to close it.
