i dunno what kind of luck that is, 3 in a row, wtf? i rarely get 1 per run, sometimes none.

Maybe you shouldnt farm 24/7 and you would get drops like yoda.

Or maybe he was lucky
Or maybe he killed them all at once
Or maybe he killed them one at a time
Or maybe he zoned in at just the right time
Or maybe he waited 10 minutes before he started killing things
Or maybe he plays with his left hand
Or maybe Yoda is an evil alien cyborg who has been sent from the future to destroy the Guild Wars econemy with his insane ecto drops, causing the game to go out of flux, bothering tens of thousands of GW players enough where they'll go out and buy new games; and then, he'll strike with his evil cyborg army and take over the minds of all the gamers, taking control of the internet and, eventually, all forms of media and the spread of knowledge, shaping the future world to meet exactly their needs as cyborgs.

haha u are guys pretty lucky. usually i get one ecto for 4 runs -.-. about 1 year ago i got 2 ectos

.my record is 32 Dry run

blurmedia · May 07, 2008, 01:19 PM // 13:19

I got 5 ectos and a white dye in one smite run yesterday. I like this nerf!

Thierry2 · May 07, 2008, 01:23 PM // 13:23

Don't think something is nerfed because you don't get drops. Maybe you're just overfarmed? Go do some quests or whatever and try again later.

okashii · May 07, 2008, 01:58 PM // 13:58

proof of "overfarming" plz

kdz · May 08, 2008, 08:07 AM // 08:07

after seeing Yodas luck, I went down again with my VwK warrior, and got 3 ectos from smites

- I ran to the mindblades, and they were totally dry, while, for my ele, they always drop at least 3 ecto :S

WTS common sense. No one cares if you make things up.

Trader of Secrets · May 09, 2008, 07:01 PM // 19:01

whiny ecto hunters there r much more than smites in UW.

Kaleban · May 09, 2008, 07:06 PM // 19:06

Does no one understand how it actually works? Come on people!

It says 2% for smites, 4% for aatxes. In simple terms, you could do a billion runs, and if you're terribly unlucky, never get one ecto.

Conversely, you could do ONE run, and every single enemy would drop an ecto.

However, things like this tend to even out, giving statistically verifiable averages. Rather than try to explain it with a wall of text, here:

Monk In The Box · May 09, 2008, 11:52 PM // 23:52

Okay after doing +100 Uw 55/SS Runs after my last post I conclude that I am terribly unlucky.

kev read · May 09, 2008, 11:58 PM // 23:58

I do one or two runs a day or so (thats about an hour for me O_o), and I usually get at least two a run

Maybe I'm just lucky, but theres only about 40-50 smites, it should be about 1/4 ecto a run or so...

ccruzp · May 10, 2008, 12:06 AM // 00:06

Its just randon, after 2 ectoless runs i got 6 ectos on one smite run being teh first 4 drops coming in pairs form the first 2 groups, crazy right?
Using w/me build.

Paul thy god · May 10, 2008, 12:45 AM // 00:45

Kinda off topic, but does anyone else seem to get most of their ectos from the same mob of smites (i.e you get one ecto from a particular smite mob, then in your next run you get one from the same mob) i dont know about you, but most of my ectos come from the first mob of smites which makes me think *yay i broke even* without having to worry about getting ectos from another mob or the infamous dry run

CE Devilman · May 10, 2008, 04:49 PM // 16:49

1 dry 3 ecto 2 ecto..in 3 runs
