The Sewers have become the Shadow caves as far as pink drops go.

[Riccits]

drop rate is fine, low but ok. maps like cockroach ones can be cleared so fast, u can make so many tries in one hour...
grinding to 56 and farming equip keeps ppl playing, if this werent so many ppl would stop playing since a while...

[Genes]

I like the current drop rate because it makes me want to play when I'm skiving, when I'm working, when I'm having my meals, when I'm in the toilet and when I'm sleeping...

Best of all, the sense of satisfaction after you get a pink drop that you want.

[MAGICAL POCKET LEGEND]

I never get pinks in sewers i havent even looted one!Except i looted a recipe thats all. ;(

The only real problem prices are rediculous. If we could keep the same drop rate and lower prices than great. I am lvling 56 slowly. It gets really boring grinding. I have about 55k experience to go. I refuse to XP all day and night. Getting pink keeps you going long droughts make want to do something else.

Prices will drop, eventually. Prices are still high and very slowly decreasing because there are still loads of players that still want to buy them. When those people are done, less and less people would be wanting the item, resulting in intense price competition. Supply and demand.

prices will sink in genrally in the future, global money is sinking fast by the whole amount of pots using.

Until last week I never got any pink drop in Sewers. Last week I got 6 lv 55 pink drops in two days:
- 2x mega mage gemstone robe (within 4 runs of eachother after 7 runs)
- 2x raid roach gemstone leather (within 1 run after 12 runs)
- 1x mega mage gemstone cowl (after 10 runs)
- 1x sewer queen robes (after 5 runs)
Guess the game balances itself out eventually. On the other hand it was right after I gave about 40 pinks away to lower level players the week before. Guess it's true that when you give, eventually you receive!

Saw 4 pinks yesterday, after about 2 weeks dry. Gemstone helm, sword, sewer plate, and raid helm (last one mine)

Are you using big luck? Also make sure to swap to big love at the bandit queen it raises the chances of a good drop by roughly 50%.

[Baked-Potato]

I finally got my very first BS pink last night. Got the Sewer Kings Scarab Bow thingy or whatever its called. Only took till April d:

[FluffNStuff]

Got 5 pinks from the sewers, all pretty close to each other. That's just the way luck happens.

[RedRyder]

Lol I've still only gotten one pink, and it was only a gemshard wand, and one other pink drop

[Kindread]

I think its all relative to how hard people hit farming. I was farming like a maniac for a good time and got about a total of 15 pink drops in BS. I don't farm as much anymore and am waiting for the anniversary party to start.

Ebb and flow. Some days/weeks nothing. Some days 5 valuable pinks. Play for the fun of it, pot minimally and it is icing on the cake if we get pinks. It wouldn't be fun if it was the rule instead of the exception!

Practice good karma.....get good karma

That's the exact frame of mind I have when I go into the game. If I were to play it simply to farm pinks, the anticipation would leave me with disappointment and dejection when it doesn't happen. Why wouldn't I if pinks were the first and only thing on my mind? I see people running maps with yellow elixirs and then throwing profanities when it doesn't reroll, and especially if they die at the boss and losing everything.

If it happens, awesome. If it doesn't let's hope the next run will prove otherwise. I'm like karmakali: I play for the fun of it, gain XP, try to improve my K/D ratio, and if a pink drops, woot, if not, repeat.

Another way to put it is that I keep my expectations low. I've gone through dozens and dozens of games without a pink, and pink streaks that have embarrassed me and probably ticked off others. Law of Averages? Maybe, but keeping the anticipation low makes that next pink that much more worthwhile.

I don't know about the drop rates being nerfed. Every time I hit a dry spell I think the same thing. I didn't get anything but a Raid Cap this weekend and I was pretty bummed. But then I hear people on here say they go weeks without a pink. And Mits tells me he saw a good number of high value pink drops to others this weekend, so it is probably just my luck for the time being. I may be one of the luckiest people in the game since I rarely go longer than two days without one. I just don't know. Maybe it would be a better measure if checked hours of play between pinks, because I suspect I also play more than most. I'll give that a shot.

And Neko -- congrats on getting your second toon to 56 last night. Now you have to work on your bear. lol.

[Riccits]

i think i got ca. 15 total, but some was crap like dagger, recipe or battle swords...
at least it was about 1500 boss runs or more..

[Echelong]

I was on a dry run too for about two weeks and then on this weekend I get two recipes and a FF armor in a few runs. Its just more luck than anything but perseverance wins all the time. I find it I get more pinks when I stick with one group of farming for at least one or two hours. And this weekend I saw 2 FF shields drop 1 MM bracer two MM robes and like 4 recipes including mine. And that is not counting and RR cap I got and a few sewer and MM cowls.

But I did get almost 30k exp this weekend using only 2x pots and that wasn't always so it was a long farming time.

[superglut2]

i played 30 min and saw 2 in a row

[Jinlac]

until lvl 55 i didnt get single pink in bs, between 55-56 i got ~20 (10 of them in three days, including the whole sk set in 8 runs!) i was so excited and though my personal drop rate had to be bugged lol, but since then i only had 2-3 crappy pinks....
What makes it look so unfair is the low chance... If u do 10k runs the amount of pinks you get will be pretty close to the estimated drop rate. If u do 100-1000 runs u might end up with 0-xx pinks, which seems unfair, but if u keep going, you will eventually get your share^^

I've been running sewers for months now and I'm halfway to 56 but have only had 1 pink drop (sewer helm), and 1 recipe (custom gemstone leather). I think the drops are really unfair. I've got friends that are low 50's and get 2 or 3 pinks a night, and then today everyone died playing gold fever didn't respawn to help just watched while I beat him and a dead guy gets the pink. Now tell me there's not something wrong with that
