its all random, some are extremely lucky, others are unlucky such as myself and it seems you as well

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.

but you can kill more than 100 cyclops in the time it would take to kill 100 beholders...

so i wonder which monster would be a better choice, kill 200 cyclops and only 100 beholders.... you get x2 the chance?

That's always the question, now isn't it? :D

I think you shouldn't think about getting a cancel drop from cycs at all.

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.
