So i am about half way through Nightfall.
I am actually taking my time playing through this chapter, savouring every environment, every feature and completing every single quest i can get my hands on apart from the main storyline...
To this day i have yet to find a max dmg weapon of ANY sort except a spear. I have found a multitude of blue items, a few purple, and VERY few golds. White items abound. But still, i have YET to find ANY other max dmg weapon other then that one spear, and that spear was a green!
This trend concerns me, along with the LESS than generous drop rate. Put it this way, ANY single mission in Tyria or Cantha my character would completely fill their inventory EVEN with an all henchy team. In Elona, i haven't even filled just the backpack portion of my inventory. In fact, the last mission i did i got a grand total of 4 drops (apart from gold of course)...
Is this a JOKE? Ya sure lots has changed, like "properly" randomized chests, and... stuff. But the drop RATE has dropped INCREDIBLY low. I know there is probly a few other item posts, but i am posting in regards to several friends too. We have found that as we all play solo, we experience the same situation, hardly (if at all) any max dmg weapons, and an incredibly low rate of drops.
And before you say i'm not far enough in the game... I have been killing lvl 24+ monsters for long while now.
The reason this erks me is if i cannot even get a max dmg WHITE weapon, then there is something terribly wrong. My dervish is still walking around with my crafter weapon, which many new players may not be able to afford (5k and something like 45 iron + wood). I desperatly want a new scythe skin for some variety... ugh.
Anywhoo, this long rantish post has a point, i'd like people input on whether or not i have REALLY bad luck, or if this is a widespread issue... Please leave your input here... its all welcome.
Cheers!
EDIT:: Just in case it was missed, this is in terms of the Nightfall campaign drops only! And....continue!
EDIT 2x:: I have since beaten the game 2x. Even in the Realm of Torment, out of a full inventory of drops in from a mission, i have gotten a grand total of 2 max stat items. As in a max dmg blue scythe and a max dmg white hammer. The gold drop, was non max. ALL the other white drops, non max. .... And this pretty much sums up my experience in all of NF, even through endgame area. Quite sad.

I'm playing a Paragon, and my wife has a Dervish. Together, we have found a real nice gold max spear, and a nice gold max Scythe, modded to perfection. I've got only a purple shield, but it's max, rare-skinned, all that (love the inscriptions with a passion). We've also found a good assortment of other items, like nice off-hands, daggers, a sweet gladius, a couple of axes, etc. - all max.
Again, most of this was from chests, though. We always keep around 5 keys on us when we go questing, so that might be your problem. I know they're expensive in the long run, especially if you keep all the drops, not bothering with the idiotic trade system in place, like us. It tends to be no more expensive than straight up crafting our weapon of choice, though. So it might just pay for itself.

Yes, I have found the same problem. I can't even find a lot of max armor shields. And the only max gold anything I have found so far was the Elemental Sword with my monk. I also find way too many daggers in the game, which is really annoying since you can't even make assassins in Nightfall.
I too have noticed that there just isn't as many drops and I have yet to fill up my invetory (unless I've done a few quests/missions in a row cause I forgot to empty it.) I kind of miss the days of deciding which items to keep for when the mission is over and which to leave behind only to fade away.
Hopefully it's just bad luck that will change soon.
Akisai
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm getting 10x more golds in Nightfall than I am in Prophecies. Not specifically max good golds, but golds nonetheless.
Me and two other friends that often quest together with one healer hero average 3-5 gold a run in a mission, and 1-2 golds in explorable areas while doing quests. Plethora of purples blues and whites to boot.
Also found 6 white dyes, and I wasn't even farming them.

Ulivious The Reaper
Bleh, i know exactly what you mean, only max things i've had have come from chests, and only one of those were gold, everything else i've had drop for me (golds and alike) were either one point off, or low end... actually now that i think about it i've had one max wand, wow, who cares, wand, didn't have any mods either! oh well, Anet will save the day eventually ^.^

ya i have gotten 1 or 2 key drops.
And yes, i am only referring to drops and not chest items. Concerning chests, i have only gotten useless caster offhands so far. Dropwise, its getting a bit discouraging. I just hope that soon it picks up before i get to endgame.
Akisai, you are one lucky sob (meant as a compliment...hehe).
Oh, and Kha is one of those friends i was talking about. Kha you found me! AHHHH... No but seriously, i am glad at least a few others are experiencing the same thing. I am hoping the low replay rate is in reflection of the odd time this was posted, i wanna see more responses to get a better feel for overall concencus.

drops have always suckked for me, my hubby usually gets all the good stuff. But we have noticed that the drop rates have gone down as the chapter number increases (factions drop rate was bad, reallly bad sometimes----did some missions where I got 2 soul stones, and that was it for the whole mission and no henchies either).
On the other hand we have done the starter island together and have had to decide which crap to leave behind, with or without heros/henchies. We get lots of gold, but thats ok. Still think the drop rate for cantha was worse.
Gold items, didnt realize there were any in elona. Thought only purple was in that country. But really dont care about those since most of my characters are tyrian or canthan and have max weapons, my paragon has the ce weapon which is ok--not max but neither is my character yet. And got goty so gave those weapons to the other heros.......and the green weekend helped me flesh out some more weapons too. So I have not really been in the market for good weapons, but havent seen anything worth keeping yet either.
keys--have tons of istani keys, have yet to see any other kind.

i have good drops, today got 4 gold drops, one of them was a major vigor with a survivor insignia, lady luck shined for me today with that drop, as i pulled the two of them, some days before that, i got a white max damage hammer for koss, so no lack of drop issue for me 
-Loki-
I got more random gold drops in the first half of Nightfall than I did in Prophecies and Factions together.
Lyonette
yep, my loot rate has been far from impressive since i've started nightfall. i am at start of the realm of torment and i've gotten less then a handful of golds [chests and drops] and have not rushed the game at all [i took my canthan monk across and have been progressing since release].
i hope my luck increases because it's starting to become discouraging.

I have had great drops 4 greens; a Bow, Hammer, Spear, and a scythe. I had to farm the spear but it took about an hour with three heros. The rest I was in a 8 man grp in the area for the first time. All of which are with my prefered mods. 10 golds but only 1 perfect shield and a near perfect Bow the rest were sold to merch or salvaged for mods. My wife however has no greens and a few more golds than I did but 3 were perfect i think with nice skins. She plays more than I do lol but I have better luck. As far as dyes go she has a horseshoe up her #^$. She gets tons of them, even black.
Batou of Nine
Total of 6 hours of play today, 2 missions completed, new towns found, various quests done...
Drop rate is bad as usual. STILL havent even found a WHITE max dmg scythe.. LMAO!! Nightfall's drop system is screweeeed up.

Hi,
It's not uncommon to see players say they're not getting enough drops. I mean, can there ever be "enough" drops?
Seriously, though, if there are issues, we'd like to know about them and fix them, and to do that we have to replicate the issue, which requires information. This issue could be truth, it could be perception, it could be that things are functioning as planned. Those reporting the issue would help a lot of they provide any facts and figures they might have on hand, or if they would list:

- the Heroes or Henchies you are using

best thing i've found is a perfect Scythe HP mod... that's it, a few max weapons, but nothing good/great.. I agree the drop rate is lacking. Maybe they're trying to keep a balance on the economy *shrug*
Clawdius_Talonious
I think that Elonian monsters tend to drop gold, rather than items, much of the time. It's probably not so much a limit on drop numbers as it is an increase in gold drops. For example in Arborstone explorable area it's easy to fill your inventory, while in an Elonian area, you'll get 2-3k platinum (solo farming) and half of your inventories worth of drops. I prefer to be able to aquire gold, as well as just sellage.
I do know what you mean about the low drops, I haven't had one single max spear drop for me, and the one max scythe I saw I got from a chest (purple, req 12)
Still I think that there isn't a problem, so much as the monsters in Elona seem to drop gold a lot more than items. This has been my experience at least.

Dahl
I never get hammers.
Purple Staves, Purple Staves, and more Purple Staves. Mostly Air, Water, and Death.
No swords, No axes, No hammers, 1 Scythe, No spears, and 1 dagger, out of roughly 35 chests.
The Scythe and Dagger were gold. Each and every other chest was purple. Rigged much? In Tyria and Cantha, anywhere between 1/3 and 2/3 of the chests are gold. In elona, 1/18 chests are gold. What a ripoff, especially since the economy for elonian items is crap. An absolute perfect Spear or Scythe with a rare skin never peaks 100k.
Either drop the keys to 100g or less, or fix the drop ratio!
In terms of the actual DROPS, they're just fine the way they are, they're just a little unbalanced. Some areas of the map give none, but there's a few special maps that I keep secret that can sometimes drop 5 golds just by wandering through it and clearing it.

I've found ONE maxed scythe but i ave the prerelease so i sold it 5k or so. (no mod or anything) I've found a dozen of gold alot of blue/pruple. And like 5 maxed shield.
Sidra
The drop rate is PATHETIC for me. Concurrent w/ most of the stuff people have stated about their rates going to hell. I haven't gotten a single gold drop, 2 purples, tons of blues (mostly 10^50 inscriptions, woohoo! *rolls eyes*) but i HAVE seen a ton of istani key drops and used most all of mine (11 total) and gotten nothing useful. The inscriptions, I will say, from chests, are much better than those usually dropped (for me). Meh.

Olias/MoW/Herta/Cynn/Gehraz/Mhenlo/Kihm
Have cleared 4 SEPERATE areas in the RoT. One purple drop- a 14-21 Fellblade with crap mods. 2 blue drops. and a yellow dye. 21 non-max white weapons. 4 hests opened, one in each zone. 4 purples; 3 offhands and a non-max spiky recurve bow r11
This "endgame" has got to be a gag, right? Please let this be a bug... it's getting irritating.

GAAAAHHHH!
Why are there so many rants about drops?
Why would ANet Nerf the drop rate for a certain campaign?
Why would ANet Nerf the drop rate at all!?
Its luck, pure and simple. You were unlucky. Doesn't mean you have to post all these stupid statistics and complain about drop rates being 'nerfed'.
God...

I'm just thankfull i have a full range of weapons for all my heros (accept the mes). And having the CE bonus items helps with melonni and morghan... Most people i know are using what came with the heros or non-max blues with crappy mods.

I thought drops were totally random, do some professions get more / quality drops than others.
Just wondering.
Thank you

Yeah, once I go through Nightfall and once I get my Spiralling spear, I'm ditching everything elonian. It's not like the skins are any good there. You work for LONGER and waste MORE money than in tyria and cantha, and get next to nothing of any use. And even if you do, just about every other possible skin in the game is better looking.
I think I'm gonna have to go and get Tyrian and Canthan weapons for my heroes. If anything, drops should be higher in elona than in tyria and cantha due to having to supply like 20 heroes per character. Why play here when we can go to Lutgardis conservatory and get all kinds of good skinned items like gothic axes and swords, and have gold items drop considerably more than half the time.
It's really sad actually, chests in Istan are 100x better than all of the advanced ones. Istani ones are easier to get to, cost less, yield more golds, which leads to finding tons of 15^50 and +5 energy items.
To balance things, they should make 3/4 of the chests later on drop golds, but make considerably less chests so we dont waste 200k on keys to finally find a 30k item.

Ok, this is in regards to Gaile's response.
It is not merely "what i say" it is fact. I have compared this to the previous chapters now. Today i have done 2 missions in Tyria (Elonas Reach + Thunderhead Keep) of which i nearly completely filled my inventory with loot from drops only...i got golds, purples, blues and whites of which were ALL max dmg items.
Did 2 missions in Cantha (Tahanakai Temple + Unwaking Waters). Both of which the results were nearly completely the same as the two tyrian missions. Full inventory, max dmg stuff, mix of whites, purples, blues and golds.
The 2 latest missions i have done in Elona were Dzagonur Bastion & i think Rehlon Refuge. Refuge i got about 5 drops. Bastion i got 4 drops. Seriously. And nONE of these items were max stat items, as i fought either lvl 20 foes, and at the Bastion lvl 24+ foes.
Several friends of mine in game are experiencing that same thing. So again i say, Gaile, its NOT simply cause i say it is occuring. I tested it and its fact.
I will submit a report to Anet Support, but i doubt anything can be done. I guess my BIGGEST problem is being THIS far into the game and i still don't get max stat items. Quite silly.
Remember this is not just about bad drop rate, its about non-max items dropping from lvl 24+ monsters... seems to be wrong.
Cheers!

I hope i can get some decent weapons dropped for me. My Paragon and Dervish are both using collector weapons i got from the preorder box. So far, I only seen one gold item dropped for me by a chest. That item turned out to be none max sword (funny, the skin were Falchion).

If you really want max dmg weapons just get keys and open chests. I wouldn't really depend on drops.

Depending on drops isnt the issue. It is the fact that Lvl 24+ 28+ monsters DON'T drop max stat items. This should not be, as ALL high end mobs in previous chapters DID. If this remains, no incentive remains to fight/search for high end mobs.\
Dahl, Ok, admittedly, i guess i have a good amount more to get to end game, however when fighting lvl 24+ monsters already, i would EXPECT at least ONE max stat item of ANY sort to drop from them.
I have honestly not gotten one so far.
(oops, spamming again, ok done.)
cheers. (P.S. Sorry, i'm kind of post spamming. ill stop... hehe)
Dahl
Finding gold items raises the damage though.
The way I understand it, there is almost never max damage white items. A white item drops and the game rolls a die to see if it's blue. If yes: Bump the damage and roll again for purple. If yes: Bump the damage some more and roll again for gold. If yes: bump the damage (which usually brings it to max)
If I'm not mistaken, that's how rarity is decided, though it may be the other way around, starting gold and rolling to go down in value, which is very possible.
Gaile: Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is usually how it is. Being a developer myself for my own mmorpg, that's how I deal with rarity drops.
