anyone else noticed this or am i just finally getting lucky.
ive never seen drops like this and ive been doing UW since the original 55. anti farming code removed perhaps?
getting 1-2 ecto drops every run...literally every run and about the same on golds.
Increased ecto/gold drops in UW

You just got tomahawked
I did a run yesterday and got 4 freakin ectos that's 8 total (4 for me, 4 for him).

I see about 1 ecto per run. There is also the bug with enemies dropping two things.

Wasnt there a thread yesterday saying ecto drops were nerfed to nothing? o_O
All luck of the draw it seems.

Must be luck. All I'm getting is the 1k wasted to get to UW. Broken even in 5 runs. Woohoo?
Mikizz
Well I did a few B/P runs in the Tombs today and got 4 Ectos. 
Not bad!

Lets Get to Healing

I have been getting 1 ecto per run (with E/ME). Occasionally I getting nothing, occasionally I get 2 ectos. MY best was 4 (FOUR) ecto on one run.

I've been doing runs for the past three weeks.. get about 1 ecto a run, sometimes more, some times less Gold drops are relatively low, but I blame that on overfarming the area

Aatxes give a 4% chance on ecto drop, smites 2%. You can check wiki for the exact details. Sometimes you will get 4-5 ectos, sometimes zero. It's all luck of the draw. 4% chance.

no ectos here but for the first time ever, one of those annoying dying nightmares dropped a gold :O
Retribution X
I haven't gotten an ecto today. THEY MUST NOT BE DROPPING!!!
Gah. It's just numbers. Computers don't understand the law of averages. you're not going to "Actually" get one ecto for every 25 attaxes killed, or for every 50 smites killed.

Went farming 2 days ago, got 2 ectos from 1 cow and then another one from another cow. My partner also got an ecto. So, that's 4 ectos in 2 runs and we didn't even finish them. Also, when I went to forgemaster last night, I got 4 shards on my way there :O!

Over the past few nights I got four ectos in one smite run for the first time ever in over 50 runs. Besides that, I noticed a lot more 2 ectos per run than usual.
Therefore I think it's likely they did increase the Ecto drop rate a bit.
But it could just be happenstance.

Total for tonight's 3 runs:
-3keys
-1 black dye
-3 ecto
I'd called my luck after 3 ecto and 1 key the first run, then black dye the second, then 2 keys and 2 ecto the last run.
It's all about luck.

We really don't need more threads about drop rates being random, because that's what they are. Closed.
