All this "flagging" crap people are throwing around is pure speculation and theres no proof to back it up... Why are people still posting this as advice?

Its all random luck. I have noticed no change when i go down. some nights yeild 5 some nights 15 in same time. be thankful you still have a farmer.

After the update, my drop rate go down.

Before 1 per run
After 1 per 3 run

G/rt.

I think they nerfed smite drops rates over a year ago...

..so no troll farming and now no ghail farming where else too make money! =P well good luck

50 in a row getting nothing means you have anti-farm on you...just go do something else for a while. **Yes** we have proof of this. No, we don't have proof that you can be "flagged" by the system. Apparently what just happens is that after farming some place a TON your drops just suck, then after you do something else for a while they go back to normal.

does PvP work for unflagging?
cause it would be great if it does.

So you're saying you do have proof of "this"(being flagged) , but no you don't have proof of being "flagged"?

If you REPEATEDLY kill the first monsters outside of a zone, you will bring up anti-farm code. Anything besides this hint that displays on the screen is pure speculation, and I honestly don't believe in a flagging system.

Because the drops get really better if you've done some missions. I always get a gold drop and the shards/ectos drop earlier. But that's not the point of the discussion.

Damn, it will really take much time to get my FoW now.

Thanas · Nov 09, 2006, 10:22 PM // 22:22

I have now done around 10 runs with no ecto drops on my w/mes. This is unusual since my drops were pretty much constant until recently. I have been doing some missions/quests in case of "flagging", however this has been to no avail. I am farming only smites.

I know this isn't the point of the thread....but what are some solo smite buids you guys use?
I would like to try doing it since the SS/55 dual was nerfed

Hakuin · Nov 11, 2006, 01:06 AM // 01:06

yeah, what are some ways to go into the UW on a smite run now?

Thanas · Nov 11, 2006, 10:33 AM // 10:33

I use W/Mes infinite glads build.

Please then explain my apparent lack of ectos. I have no anti-farm code and I've consistently had no ecto. Up until recently I was averaging 1 ecto per run. Now all I'm gettin is residue drops. I've been trying for a week now.

Saider maul · Nov 11, 2006, 01:25 PM // 13:25

i got 7 lastnight in 4 runs. took 1 hr..... again no real change noticed.

matt the man · Nov 11, 2006, 02:03 PM // 14:03

thanas could u maybe post that build or whisp me ingame or something plz?

ibbo · Nov 11, 2006, 02:17 PM // 14:17

under world is all bout luck, end of story, and if u are soling some times if u take ages in kiling a mob then it will be less licly to drop the slower u are then the less licly they are to drop...i think

but yes it i all bout luck be crap if evry run u got like 5 ectos then every one would be doing it and be stinking rich

And what build are you using for it to take 15 min per run?

It's called random drops. You'll have those no ecto runs and suddenly have 3 ectos in a run.
