    Default Up to 55 w/o a pink?

    I have a guess about these guys who are complaining that they didn't get "a single pink" on their way to 55. I think they leveled to 53 in CtK, and used 3x XP potions for their last 2 levels, which would mean that they only got about 50 chances for a drop. See, you end up clearing about 85 mobs in Hideout, at yellow threat that is 147 xp which tripled is 441. So even if you conservatively round it down to 400, you would only need 20 runs or so per level for levels 54 and 55.

    The drop rate for pinks is low, maybe less than 1%, so ... no wonder they aren't getting pinks.

    Just FYI, running 3x in Hideout will get you about 330-340xp, that is with skipping the 12 on the hall to the Vault. Is 100 mobs total minus those 12, the 88 killed on a normal run (without Blanky) = about 340xp.

    But agreed on the no-pink 54/55 complaints.

    I leveled from 50-53 in CtK, then 53-56 in Sewers. Got 2 pinks from 53-56.

    Then after 56, I did like 500+ more runs just to farm and got about 20 pinks in total.

    My first and only pink was a 2h sword recipe. Epic fail. >.<

    I really don't mind though. I'm fine with using all oranges for now.

    Ya the drop rate in sewers is so low. I have a 56 and found a total of 5 lvl 55 pinks and 4 recipes....some ppl are just luckier than others. I also leveled to 53 in CTK. If you go all the way to 56 with no pinks.....I would give up haha.

    55 on bird/mage, 52 on a bear. 0 xp pots. ~98% leveling in BS (helped some ppl with finishing cyber).

    Off the top of my head, 10 pink items, plus 3 or 4 recipes (all pre-nerf Bank Vault).

    Agree with Arterra. The non-pinks are very usable. My mage was on Adepts + Lowman Shield until getting to L55. My bird still prefers Cave Talon set I'll probably switch once I complete a set (missing leather still).

    Cool... just one difference and that is the yellow threat gives you 150% xp so 340 +170 = 410. It's still only 20 runs if you XP pot.

    340+170=510! If u run hideout with 3x pot and a full party, it will definitely give u 330-340 xp Inc killing boss within pot time. Done it million times.

    Wink not necessarily

    I didn't get my first pink until 55, but it was a fury plate which i promptly traded for mega mage robes, so I'm not complaining nor did I, but I can see other people's frustration. I was too cheap to XP pot initially and even when I did it was only 1 out of 10(maybe) runs where I would pot. It really is just the luck of the draw, since then I have gotten two pinks in one day and none for 2 weeks. I definitely don't mind because all the gold I make, I can use to purchase a mega mage gemstone wand or get lucky and have one drop!

    Don't lose hope folks, they do drop and good luck farming!

    There is not much gold in sewers. If you do not pot not much xp. We jumped around doing diff maps in sewers for quite a few hours. The xp I got after doing several runs was less 500 xp. I just have difficulty believing those xp numbers post here. I rarely pot cause its expensive.

    Where are you getting +170? I have run hundreds of Hideout runs with full parties at 55, and it is 330-340. Charted/tracked, guaranteed. I track by the xp numbers on my avatar page, and I am 99.999% sure it's not more than 340 actual gained.

    What yellow threat exactly do you mean?

    p.s. 340+170 = 510

    (I'm just going off the top of my head.)

    You get yellow threat level if you are level 50-54, I believe. (somewhere lower in level you get red threat levels)
    Check the color of the dot next to any enemy you are targetting. That's the threat level.

    Nevermind Snake's little typo. He's not talking about xp from Level 55-56.
