Irregular drop (?)

[dion032]

Hello, I am a new player, currently level 35, and I am farming for equipment. This is my 9th day on the server and I am extremely discouraged for one reason.
I mean the drop rate. I will allow myself to describe my tests briefly, and I would like someone to explain to me what is going on here.

Day 1

1h Glove ❌

Day 6

1x Book of Curses / Hour


I would like to know why the drop rate is so irregular. With a 150% drop bonus, I managed to obtain only 1 Book of Curses, while in another hour, having only a 70% drop bonus, I obtained 13 Orc Teeth in two hours. With a 150% drop bonus, I managed to drop 11 Orc Teeth, and in another hour, with a 130% drop bonus, only 4 pieces.
This is extremely discouraging, because each of these tests was done using Courage Capes, which are expensive for me given my income. Additionally, in some tests I used a glove, which also has a cost, and it happened that after an hour I was at a loss instead of earning, because only 1 upgrade item dropped.
Can someone explain to me how all of this works? I like this server, but this drop system discourages me a lot, especially since I only have one hour a day and I would like to earn something to save up for equipment, but instead I keep hitting a wall.
Best regards,
I am waiting for a response.

i did not test gloves etc but this server's drop rate is really crap.

2 days after destroying 500-600 lvl 65-75 and 80 metins got 0 soul stone really this is interesting. sometimes metins drop only 2-3 items ( garbage ) sometimes too many items ( also garbage )

success and drop rates are at 0.00000000000000001 or lower maybe. i cant upgrade any item i cant drop ss or changers i cant read ss or skill books ( including poly and leader ) chests give and what is this a pvp server ?

some will run and say no this is a hard server ; no hard is not this something wrong with the server rates. in offical shity servers i have more chance how can it be?

luck: sometimes you re lucky smts not and sometimes it s just normal ; i have never been lucky yet!

ice marble : i have never got that honor to drop one ice marble tried with 1 hr gloves ( 3 times ) +10% daildy buff + site glove and %40 item drop i am at levet 61 and the biolog task is for lvl 60. i bought all from market ( 10-13 kk ) biolog tasks are tooo tooo hard to drop.

i have 7 days site glove + daily buff-10% item + %40 item drop result: garbage on the ground..

2 days before i was farming with main ,40% dd from item ,7days ,10% vit stone,no buffer on team and cors never found xD

Well i guess its just the rng. You shouldnt really pay that much attention to those numbers imo, same as the refine chance. Even if its 99% chance to succeed and it fails, it does not make you any happier that the chance was 99%

From previous chats regarding drop of specific items I understood that behind of this chance to drop it's also a another mechanic which counts the number of specific dropped + how many are on the server at current times and based on that, drop will be increased or decreased. That's why sometimes the prices for some random things will sky rocket for no reason best example it's what happens with bravery capes regularly.

So the inconsistencies of dropping some things aren't dependent on how much drop you have or not, personally it's a nice gimmick because otherwise the market would've collapsed.

 

[dion032]

Well, I've already considered the possibility that there is a mechanic responsible for stabilizing drops, but then what's the point of these drop bonuses if you can just shove it all up your ass anyway?

Is there anywhere that describes how this works?

Tonight, at 3:15 a.m., I got 5 Books of Curses, including one Metin, and I got 3 books, and then for an hour, not a single one -.- It's terribly demotivating because you spend your time improving your character and spend (for me) huge amounts of money on equipment with a drop bonus + gloves, and then the only thing you get is a massive amount of RIBs, which even if you upgrade to +9, will take you a week to sell due to lack of demand.

What about the other upgrades I have a ton of and can't do anything with? Is there a system here that absorbs them, or are they useless because no one needs to buy them?

 

[CXG14]

Valid point, yet the system it's made in a sense where you gonna need that drop regardless, because are some items which aren't included in that mechanic and the drop it's a necessity(changers, ss, books, stones, cor, extra loot from different dungeons and so on).

My advice, is to focus on what makes you the most income ,with lowest investment and in the shortest period of time and with that you can cover your expenses for biologist or upgrades, otherwise you will get stuck in loophole.

Better to be good or extraordinary at 1 or 2 things than mediocre on everything.
