Insanely Amazing Pinks idea

[demoncrate]

So I had this idea. Idk if it works or not.As I understand the circle beside the boss's name shows its threat level and ultimately its drop level. So a white circle boss would mean that the drop will be no good.How about someone remade monster bash. Then went to the bosses one by one (but ddnt kill them) and checked their threat level. If all bosses have a decent drop level, then buy shamrock and kill bosses, else remake until all bosses have good threat levels.Now this idea is based upon a thread I read and a link that was posted here. I have noted as well that drop rates are considerably better when its a yellow circle boss compared to a white circle boss. (This means that this method might actually work).So all you need are about 4-5 dedicated people and you will probably see pinks if you do it right (assuming that my theory hasn't fallen apart).Please don't hand me a forum ban if this works.

I like the last sentence haha

Actually the title might be misleading. 'Insanely Amazing'..............

Problem is the shamus elixer is a 30 minute elixer, and you can't turn it on and off. In order to get the most out of it, you would want to do 6-8 monster bash runs. If you start going around checking stuff like you suggest, good luck finishing more than 2 or 3 before the elixer runs out.

This shows a complete lack of understanding of both threat level and drop mechanics, but since it is the weekend, I will wait till Monday to explain. Unless of course someone else feels like filing for overtime and doing it before then.

Yes, we've already been through this discussion. The tutorial that explains the threat level has a column called "drop rate" with indicators like "high", "medium", and "low" which vary according to the threat level. According to a bunch of people who posted in a previous thread, this is incorrect. If it is incorrect then I wish someone would change/correct the tutorial then. Because the way it is written you would think the drop rate on rare items would be higher or lower depending on the level threat indicator of the boss.

[FluffNStuff]

It just refers to the boss level, and what level item. Like dark forest 1 witch drops level 10-14 depending on her threat level and your level.

[Energizeric]

If it refers to the level item you get, then why does it say "high" in the "drop rate" column when the threat rate is high? The threat rate is high when you are a lower level, so the level of the item you get would be "low". But it says "high". The tutorial should be corrected.

I feel the same way

The tutorial is correct.

Love your posts fluff. You always leave us with unspeakable anger eveytime you post. I mean the way you do care enough to post, but not enough to post something worthwhile is admirable to say the least. I dare not tread upon the subject of you leaving us in the dark though. I guess some knowledge is best kept in one's head. Won't you agree fluff?

Anyway, thanks for the replies.

@4th post
I meant doing it the first time, Example, finding the yellow circle bosses once and then buying the elixir. After that just continue as normal. (Idk how monster bash works but a friend could find the good monsters and invite you when he found the good spawn, so you could do this again.

[Energizeric]

Now I'm even more confused....

What does the totorial mean when it says higher drop rate happens for a lower level character when fighting a higher level boss?

[demoncrate]

Well I have aways had it like this.
Yellow circles don't normally drop junk. They drop greens or purples. Rare occasion pink.

White's always drop junk,

There is a clear link. I'll post screenies if I can.

What was your level and what board were you on?

[Energizeric]

I did definitely get more pinks in Humania when I was lvl 64 & 65 and was seeing bosses with red circles, than I do now at lvl 67 with bosses having yellow circles. But for one person to judge their own experience is not nearly enough of a sample to get an accurate survey unless you had done tens of thousands of runs. I've only done a couple of hundred at most.

[demoncrate]

What was your level and what board were you on?

L70
Running on Sandbar.

Normally its always white, if its an all 70, 71 party.

Today, had a l70, 71, 68, 69 and 70 and every boss was yellow. I mean literally every boss was yellow. This is how I noted the difference. Every drop we had was green or above.
Dude with the thrasher nearly got a pink.

No correlation. Thought you might be talking level 20 where there are only certain drops in the table depending on threat. Above 50 drop level is decided differently so threat does not matter from sewers on.

Well I guess we'll have to wait for a dev to come and sort this out.

I'll do some more runs and see if my theory holds anyway.

[Energizeric]

A couple of weeks ago I saw a lvl16 twink tag along on a few runs through Sandbar. The rest of the players were lvl66 and up and didn't seem to mind. I think they knew him. Anyway, he got 3 pink drops in only a short time. Don't know if that was just lucky or if his chances were better.

[RioMage]

I've never ever noticed these circles. ..I understand your tutorial though.
