Hasnt happened to me yet... but its all a matter of luck per drop. Each drop is calculated separately.

On a side note. For who are you calling targets if you are soloing?

The real question is: why would you pick up the claw? only worth 35g and market is flooded with them.

My personal best is 4 drops (one was green) from one of the bosses in Grenth's Footprint near Sorrow's Furnace. I believe it was the Ranger boss, but it's been a while since that day.

I have a screenshot somewhere of me getting 4 golds + 2 blue scrolls from a boss. Might be on my old laptop. I should dig it up. I got it from Exuro Flatus when nightfall first came out, and I was farming the fire staves and selling them to scrubs in Kaineng for 30k a pop.

Max I've ever seen is 4. I always used to think that 4 was the max and the boss could drop 1 green, 1 weapon of any color, 1 scroll, and one collectible item or crafting material. Guess I was wrong.
