Talk:Drop

From Guild Wars Wiki

Now...i do not understand the droprate for players. In party's i get white, blue and purples while others get black dye's and three to four gold drops. In (vanquish)hard mode not having much trouble at all i get lousy white Raven & Bo staffs? three or four at a time?

More people are collecting evidence to make their grievance know. Some players feel there is some kind of "Unlucky" jinx at work.

So... how does it work? How to de-jinx?

It's all random. Just bad luck, unfortunately. -- br12 • (talk) • 17:05, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I do not believe so. More players cannot have a continuous stream of bad luck. This game is balanced for the most part.

Yes, they can. Just because you have some bad luck does not mean there is a conspiracy against you. Drops do not need balancing, because they are random. Ale_Jrb (talk) 17:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I didn't mention a conspiracy or anything. Not that paranoid. I simple want to understand the drop rate. For more than one player that's seems to have "lower-than-usual" drop chance.

[edit] NPCs

Do NPCs affect the drop rate? I have been solo farming Strongroots Tanglebranch. He is located just outside of the Kurzick Unwaking waters. There is a Rez shrine there with the Kurz guards, priest and Merch. I have been getting almost no drops from any of the 10 or so creatures I kill. I never get far enough away for the NPCs to leave my compass map. Has anyone noticed this? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Mamertine (talk).

I doubt they contribute to loot scaling. — Why 21:40, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
