Unique item drop rates
Muk Utep
Are they really, really low or am I just very unlucky? From playing through NF I estimate I've killed at least 3-400 bosses, and I've found one unique item ever (some low-level crap from Istan). That's such a tiny chance. Do you need to farm specific areas for decent odds of a unique drop?

Henchies and Heroes get drops as well.

If you are solo farming then you just have bad luck.

I love it when people pull random numbers out of their assess and use those numbers to complain...
Just playing through the story without taking time to do extensive exploring, you've probably only killed 30 bosses tops...(aside from mission bosses). There isn't even 200 bosses in Elona let alone 3-4 hundred... so unless you killed every boss you could possibly find multiple times, you're full of crap.
Given that you're full of crap, bosses don't drop their green everytime, and when they do, it's assigned to a random member of the party. If that member was a henchmen, you don't see the drop.

Unique items drop very rare. It took me ages to farm orosens staff and kaolin wand on my rit, even with only 3 hench. While its true that hench take drops, the chances of you getting the drop are still the same as with a group of people.

Yes, there's a tiny chance. Considering you get a max damage, max inscription, max mod item, it's fair.

I usually have a party of either 4 or 8 depending on the difficulty of the area, so let's say an average of 6 party members. The reason I asked (not complained) if I needed to go through specific areas is that I hear about a lot of people farming bosses and getting several uniques a day, so I wondered what was up. I'm fully aware that heroes and henchmen take items, but even with my estimate of, let's say, 350 bosses and an average of 6 party members, it still seemed like a low percentage to me.
There's no need to be offensive like that and it's really such a shame that your way of posting is becoming fairly common on these forums. Do you get some kind of kick out of insulting people?

I agree the flaming and bashing of those not as experienced in these forums seems to have gotten worse. It is also happens when people dont agree. If you dont agree with the OP or another reply state why, what your view is and leave it at that. I know 2 people that dont post here anymore because of this very fact. Mods please give these guys a little break from the forums when it happens more often. Maybe a little note when posting saying that unacceptable behavior will result in a temp ban and after 3 strikes if you cant behave a permanent ban.
About your green problem. I have one char that went through the whole game with out a green (nightfall). Then in the desolation i got the purifier and ulwis bow (i believe thats right) back to back. Its just a luck thing. I suggest finding a specific green you like and farm it till it drops also take advantage of the green weekends. Thats where i got most of mine.

Aside from the recent green drop weekend, I have gotten 2 greens off bosses, with a 5 to 6-hench party. Yep it's luck...there are certain greens I really want, but never get them off the particular bosses I want them from.
But at least I've gotten them in Nightfall...in Prophecies and Factions I have never gotten a green while farming with henchies. :shrug:

ive gotten greens with full parties of henchment. ive gotten greens solo.
I once went ghial farming, expecting to do 20-30 runs. First kill, green staff. Second kill, green staff again.
Two in a row. So i decided, lets call it a day ;P

I used to get around 2 greens a SF run using a full party of henchies. Thats not to say I always got greens that were worth a damn. And there is always the times you get nothing. Though the best is the time I took full party of henchies and got 5 greens from one run :P, though I usually kill around 13 bosses per run (counting footprint too). Generally kill 3 from outside SF and then 10 inside...its a pain involves high dp but meh, I'll have to try it with heroes probably do better.

They are a rare drop. `RARE`, ok some people are lucky and some are not. For every guy that got the drop on first turn many others didn`t get the drop the few times they killed the boss. In fact if they were close to getting the drop they were teased by getting a gold scroll or even a blue scroll, the green is three to four times harder to be awarded and then some greens drop even less chance than others.
I thought everyone knew heroes and henchies got drops but then I forget that there are always new players (welcome and enjoy).
I play a lot, too much truth be known, my green drops are few but I reckon I got my share. Seemed too few to begin with, just a couple of max and too many non max from starter island after playing many hours on all chars. Then about a month ago and not during a green weekend obtained 5 max greens within 3 days over 2 campaigns. I had to double check it wasn`t still green weekend!
Anyway I prefer a good gold myself and will be chest raiding this weekend. gl all.

Really really unlucky if your estimate of 3-4 hundred bosses is near accurate. For greens that are popular, it's likely rarer, since the game takes farming into account when factoring in drops.

To continue this discussion I believe we must answer the quest "Is a green a blessing from God or a right to all?".

Just as an added comment, when Nightfall came out, I was at 180 elite skills.
I got all of the rest fairly quickly.
In killing an extra 111 bosses, as well as many incidental ones on the way, I got 1 green drop, and that was on the very last skill cap boss I killed (well, last but one; Ebon Dust Aura wasn't available back then
).
BUT, I did kill these bosses with a full group of heroes and henchies, and didn't think to send them away before the bosses died.
Let alone which, I was only killing these bosses once in general, in order to get their elite skill.
