Just noticed this yesterday when i was doing Captive Audience Runs. I never did quests on Lawgiver and Diablerie, explains the Drops i get. Lets get to the point: yesterday we did the Runs with a few friends and two of my friends, who completed all Quests got Wraith, OL Rift and Vibra in 5 Rounds. Please leave your comments here, I'd like to know if this is true.

P/s: Lawgiver is currently on a Quest Rush, completed Fathom so far, anyone Interested, level not important, may join me :) Condition: Must be at appropriate levels for quests.

I doubt it effects it.

I think people are always trying to find reasons behind drops, when it's all just luck/coincidence. I hear so many crazy things about getting loot. Just accept that it's all luck!

I love the recent rumor that if you get a pink from a miniboss, you get nothing later on...

Luck huh? So i think I should give up farming and PvP whole day. I have friends who have completed all quests and their "luck" is crazy! At least a Pink every round.

FYI, qwertyson completed all quests :) and any of the Sets improve your luck.

Some of my friends I farm with, I love em but they come up with all these crazy things like killing with megablaster in a certain corner makes them drop the loot. Or that bonus sets increase your luck. (and if they're reading this, love you guys! :) )

The only 'pattern' I've seen is that one day we can get 4-5 drops jus between the two of us, and other days we might not see a single rare drop among the entire party. So the only pattern I see is luck and coincidence.

Again with this. Has it been proven? I don't see how it can be. Unless a dev comes out and tells us this, it could still be luck. I run around in bonus sets all the time and I notice no difference in my luck.

I have no idea about this, but i noticed rare drops mostly go to Paladins? I think its got something to do about how good a team player you are. (Said in the previous few updates) I have no idea to, its just a random observation. I never got any rares ever since my last Force Kite.

And what if, after quests, you start getting drops? Try proving yourself wrong then :)

Arterra, we'll do it together, speeds quests up by a ton. Btw, Tomes & Snowball are easier now, finished my tomes yesterday within 1 hour :)

They made the tomes quests much easier, but I'm pretty sure they kept the snowballs one the same (makes no diff to me bc I don't have frozen nightmares).

I have no idea, never did LE quests before.

Oops I just tried but it said I can only have 4 lines? I already have three, so didn't work. Might have to play with it a bit.

Edit: Arterra, yours is more than 4 lines. How'd you do it?

You should put together a thread dedicated just to "What affects loot drops", Here's a starting list:

1. The more damage you (personally) do the boss the more likely you (personally, again) are to get the rare drop.
2. If you use the "party" emote during the fight a rare will drop.
3. The less people in your party, the greater the chance of a rare drop.
4. If you don't use pots, the greater your chance of a rare drop.
5. If you complete all the quests, the greater your chance of a rare loot drop. (credit to TheLaw)

There's 5, post them and start a thread Alterra, I'm not good at this type of stuff.

I got a Void Wraith drop when I was lounging around in only my underwear, so I figure that is the key. Problem is, I am now banned from riding the bus.

Lol Fluff. Yep, the bosses like when you're vulnerable, so they reward you.

I got a vyxnaar before vyxnaar spawned. *dramatic pause*

Lesrider
12-03-2010, 11:07 PM
Oh oh! Got a good one for you! I was just hunting vyxnaar. Just as I'm about to take a break, someone loots a pink avian helm. Then another dude says we have to go somewhere else now bc a pink dropped and the chance is back down to 0 lol. I tell him it's nonsense, and the next (and last) vyxnar drops a pink helm for him. Even if I didn't get a pink, at least it set someone straight on this nonsense lol.

Some dude told me "Don't use spells, they lower your drop chance".

I can't wait to play with that one paranoid OCD guy who has to spin around three times, only take one chest then hit the boss once then hit another chest then take all your gear off then slap the boss put all your gear back on then hit the last chest then do a rain dance in real life and then let the boss heal and repeat the process four times over until he thinks he has it perfect.

Lesrider

Lol bet there's someone out there who read this and now believes he has to do all that.
