mmph... perhaps im jst frustrated so ill complain away here...

ive been farming razorfin axe for 3 days now... at the beginning it was really hard, now i think i drop him in about 10 minytes 9/10 times...

the thing is... ive got 4 levels trying to kill him solo... no drop... (well tons of scrolls which are worth something)

so... jst a thought.. ive killed him so many times already... isnt it time for a somekindor reward for my efforts... he isnt that easy to kill solo u know?

am i the only one who thinks the droprate of green weapons is a bit too low?

Well, to be honest, I wouldn't mind a higher drop rate for greens so they are easier to get and cheaper to buy. People will complain because it supposedly destroys their market presence, but hey, there are golds aka rares you can make your "living" from.

So yes, higher droprates for people who prefer perfect greens (such as razorfin's axe) and don't want to rely too much on virtual gold and the repetitive way of accumulating it.

You probably activated the Anti Farm code.

There are collector items for the ones that want cheap weapons.

Greens are nice the way they are.

Latter.

Some greens are hard to get from a boss. Some bosses are hard to get to. The closer a boss is to an outpost and the fewer things there are between them and the portal, the less their green will drop.

5% Drop Rate it seems (1/20) for greens... Which actually fits in the balance during all my farming runs... (ran 1 boss 100 times (throughout a weekend) on 4 occasions already and got approximately 5% each run)

Golds were 2.5% (1/40)
Purples were 15% (approx 1/7)
Blues were 17.5 % (approx 1/6)
normal white weapons were 20%.... (1/5)

beware theanti farm scp tho... be sure to farm a single boss no more than 2-4 times an hour to help with this. (and take mild breaks every hour doing normal runs)

A bit too low?

Can't say i agree. Kaolin items (well, specifically the Mesmer Construct) have been dropping like candy for me recently. 3 days, 7 Domination Staffs, 2 Accursed, 1 Prot.... and no sodding Blade! The only 1 i want!!!!

Stats are useless because the drops are random..everyone experiences different drop rates/patterns.

Everyone else, there are no set drop rates for each rarity of item.

well.. as said.. the farm takes about 10 minutes each round... and thus gets boring quite fast... ive also helpoed some guildmembers on noob missions in between... thus as i recall the antifarm code goes off? (if i remember correctly it goes off if u complete a mission... + this is why i can say the 4 levels are from boss farming cuz low lvl missions dont give me any xp)

oh well.. time to go back to hunting it... tho i would have already gotten it if i had, ,say farmed trolls for this time and bought the damn thing, no way im going to buy it as ive put all this effort on geting it myself !"#¤&... anyway i guess im jst whining off my frustration
