~JingGM 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2009 Different maps have an increased drop rate, and different monsters also drop things more often than others. For example, in Middleland there is a 9% higher droprate for both towns, but there is no increased droprate for Promiseland. Also, if your town has won the Heldenian, you'll get another 9% increase in drops. Lastly, if you're looking for rare items, the harder the monster is to kill, the better chance you have at getting a drop. For example, you'll have a better chance at getting a Cancellation Manual from killing 100 Beholders rather than killing 100 Cyclops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timma 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2009 the simple way to think of drops is like this. 1st. you kill a monster then the game rolls a die to see if there will be a drop. 2nd. if it is a drop it rolls 1st drop or 2nd drop (2nd drops are the best but have a very low % of droping) 3rd. it rolls a die and the number that come up with corresponds to a particular drop. ie. 1-75 gold, 76-84 esterk, 85-98 armor, 99-100 a stone. then the attributes / amounts are decided. the range of a particular item dropping for some creatures are bettter than others. so say cyc will drop a cancel manual on 2nd drop if and only if a 1,000 is rolled next. beholders will drop a cancel manual on 2nd drop if a number between 997-1,000 is rolled. Just an example but this is the general idea of how it works without getting into the actual programming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
