Title: Item drops
Post by DanPaladin on 12/31/03 at 11:45:37
Well i'm tired of killing Elshira to get spider staff and get nothing, can't JLH up the chances of droping for some bosses to 30-50% ?? (heard its about 10%)

What u guys think, it's fair, isn't it?

What about other bosses? Never tried them...

Elshira is a bish, i killed a good 20-30 times in the span of a few weeks to no avail.
Jimmy killed her twice, dropped both times.

The Captain is a bastid.  I killed him 37 times in 5 days w/o the slightest hint of a drop.  Jen and Chris went 2 hours after the last time I had killed him.  He dropped.  I haven't gone since. (I got ring or misteltoe that hour though so i can cry...too much)

You've just got to get lucky.  Him posting the drop %s wouldn't hurt anyone, I don't think.  However, I don't see the need to make the whole game a big math orgy.

gah don't whine or i'll start telling again on how many kills it took me to get my second spyglass :P

it's fine just bad luck.

wait my spyglass story might be interesting.

my second spyglass took me around 78 kills. my third one took me 1 kill my 4th took me around 30ish and my 5th took me 2 kills.

the captain has a drop chance of 2% it's all luck. and i've been lucky cuz in theory captain should drop around the enxt 200 kills i get on him lol (10 spyglasses and around 300 kills (prolly a few less but it's a nice round number)

2% suggests 2 out of each 100 kills.  1:50.  Right?  Or is playing nightmist honestly making me this nutsty at math? (you cannot blame Jurian if his math is pos, he's a dyslexic dutchman)

let's c if it drops once every 50 times and i got 10 i should be at 500 kills right? now as i said i'm somewhere around 300 kills. mean captain shouldn't drop the next 200 times to get back to the 2% drop chance.

don't blame everlast for making a weird post. he's jsut not really bright :P

I re-read your post thourougly and see where i got confused.  I find some of your sentences hard to understand, my mistake.  Ya, he drops more than 2% it would seem.
