Default 0 gold drops while troll farming

Havent played the game for a while, know some things done changed etc Anyway i want to ask U guys if its normal to not get even one gold drop after 50 runs? The only golds re these dumb scrolls from krogg smush boss and thats it. Its still kinda profitable farmin them- about 1k a run + troll tusks/collector items income but still they should drop some better items

Yeah, that's a VERY normal thing. They nerfed troll drops forever ago. Most you'll ever get is probably a decent mod on a Purple or Blue.

Well, for Gold DROPS, none that I can think of. For Merchant Gold and a decent amount of time for a 5k run it's Hydras.

I've had my fair share of gold drops in the past while troll farming (wether it was power leveling or what ever)
I did get a 10/10 req 9 fire magic raven staff, still have it actually, looking to sell it lol.
I've had quite a lot of crappy golds, like a few fellblades and stuff.
Got a black dye once too =D

Imo the best and quickest farm is Shro'ken farming, done by a mo/me or a me/mo

Yeah troll farming isn't supposed to be about gold drops. It's supposed to be about the sheer amount of items (in which case, gold) you can amount in an hour compaired to another type of farming.

It's not really about gold drops. When I do my troll runs, 3/4's of the time if there's a gold drop it's from an avicara/tundra giant not a troll.

You could take out the word gold in the thread title and I still wouldn't be suprised.

Trolls have always and will always drop crap. The golds they drop, have always and will always be 99% crap. I've been farming them on and off for a long time, and I mostly do it to test solo builds now, never thought it was any good to make some decent $$... Just go solo UW or FoW, you'll make more money...
