Once I heard that the drp rate was MUCH lower on nice items if u go henchmens...Is that really true, and if it's not: Is it ny good idea farming Sorrows furnace with only henchmens?

a hench takes the place of a real person as far as the drops go.

you plus 7 henchies gives you a 1/8 chance at any drop

you plus 2 henchies gives you 1/3 chance at any drop

you by yourself gets it all

drop rate is the same it is just how it is shared

lol. Common misconception. You just don't SEE their drops, so you assume your drops have gotten worse.

I have, so it's definately possible. Just try to go with as few henchmen as possible.

You and two monks is possible if you are the stance tank. For casters you can do 4 man hency runs. You two monks and devona...though she can be kinda annoying.

I've gotten all my drops with henchies...I tend to get dead less often when I know what to expect from the folks I travel with...My experience has been that 1/2 the time I don't get past the first set of ice golems with "real" folk. To date, I have gotten 14 green drops...In and out of furnace (2/3 in footprint)...all have been with henchies. (4 have been Flint's off-hand...bah!)
