Ecto Drop

Umm i always thought if you kill a large amount in 1 go then only normal drops such as golds and purples will drop less per monster. But ectos are unaffected. Matterials nor gold items are effected by mass kills.

Mass kill = Less drops (ecto and gold weapons unaffected).

By my reckoning.

~A Leprechaun~ Conspiring is bad.

Mass killing does not decrease drops. There was a thread somewhere here in the farming forum comparing the drops of a SV vs SS 55hp necro farming. Search for it. They were the same drops.

What should have been the /endthread was the link to lootscaling.

Everything else in this thread is purely based on experience and not what the official word of the mechanics of the drop system is. Wiki is based on the word of the community. Anyone can edit it. Which means it's also based on user experience.

/endthread Try it out yourself, mass killing = less drops.

Try it out yourself, mass killing = less drops. Only for the drops affected by loot scaling. It appears to me that golds and rare material drops stay the same whether I mass kill or not.

Try it out yourself, mass killing = less drops. Which was proven wrong by someone on this forum (search for it, I'm too lazy to link it). He and his brother both entered the same instance (different PCs, solo, same connection) one of them went in as a 55 monk with SoJ, and another went SV 55 Necro, and they got the EXACT same drops.

Drop rate is determined when you walk into the instance, it makes no difference on how you kill them.
When you walk into an instance?!
