I'm a physics major, so if my ability at math counts for anything, 3 * 0 is still 0.

The only ones that are getting buffed in drops are the ones that we couldn't farm or weren't in huge demand to begin with.

Although funny, it's also kinda negative reaction. Does it mean that you never got a green drop? I'm quite sure that with Mathematics as major you are capable of counting.

My experiences with green drops are strange at least. This afternoon (the triple green drop weekend didn't start yet) i got two Chkkr's Pincers in a row. This never happened to me earlier. Sometimes one slays a boss over 30 times and never gets it's green.

There are a few things that one can do to increase the chance for a green drop:
- don't target the same boss to often in a row, 1-5 (10 max) per day
- change between bosses, have more than one boss on your hitlist
- if drops become so poor do something else, for example kill Shiro for another fun time or run a mission
- in general when lotta people are asleep and the servers are quite empty it's pretty good farming time (i got the most drops at night)

Maybe others have some good suggestions as well...

A really small number times three is still a really small number.

I highly doubt there is any way to acurately determine drop rates, there are just too many factors involved including that big one called "random".

Green odds seem very good for me so 3x sounds like a lot =/

Also, seeing as I'm getting ready for some big farming, can someone suggest some Factions greens worth farming?

Also, please write the closest town/city/ect.

Thanks in advance.

Is it just factions greens, or does it include tyria as well?

I believe that this event effects only the drop rates in Cantha.

I farmed Nandet this morning for a bit and didn't get a green drop. Of course it was on my monk so since she's a little farmer she's probably flagged. Anyway... I did get a nice gold bow with a 20/20 sundering string which did salvage off.

So that made up for all my consternation.


P.S. I know sundering sucks, but the market doesn't.
