MF boss drops steady low ?

Recently I have noticed that the drops (unique and set) have declined hugely while playing with a high level character. Have a Sorc lvl 95 and two Pala’s lvl 90.

While I started playing with characters, 3 months ago, drops from bosses were expected. As time goes by, good drops are very low. Like they are steady low after some period of time playing. My mf is over 300.

I am also pretty sure that drop rates from Nihlathak, Summoner and Countess are not accurate as they claim. I get much more keys from Nihlathak then from the rest.

clvl doesnt affect item drop rates

although first kill drops have much better chances to be rare, set, and unitue

andy can be bugged to always give first kill drops

Everything that you have posted I already knew.

My "theory" goes that for the 1st month I had OK drops, but recently (far the past month or two) it's steady low. As like when I peaked lvl 95 and played over a month it's steady low, before that was regular.

A nice quote (forgot from where exactly, might be from these forums) that fits here:

'random is not fair, random is random'

I wish you steady highs for the coming month!

in the beginning, there were simply many more items you appreciated, so the drops were actually "better" for you. start one or two new chars in different classes and widen your needs, drops will get better for a while.

When you kill Andy for the quest the first time, talk to warriv in the same game. That's it. From that point on, she will always drop her 1st kill drop.

Don't forget you also need to talk to that assassinchick in act III, then kill Izual and talk to his spirit, then finally create a normal game and let a Fallen kill you.

Don't you usually talk to Warriv when you take the Carravan east? So everyone bugs their Andy drops? So then is it a bug or a feature?


 
Re: MF boss drops steady low ?

all you really need to do is skip talking to cain in act 1 after killing andy

kill andy -> tp to town -> talk to warriv -> take caravan to Lut Gholein -> save/exit

Basically but if you talk to anyone else it won't be bugged anymore. He didn't say that part.

He didn't say that part because it's not true.

All you need to do is to talk to Warriv after killing Andy for the first time. Whatever you do besides, before or after that has no effect on the bug at all.

Are you guys serious? if so I'm sorry for making fun of this discussion earlier. It just seems too unlikely that whether you talk to Warriv or not affects Andys drops.

It is a bug in the game. I assume it has to do with mistakes made in coding up how the quest is completed. There's a massive thread on the topic in the Statistics Forum.



 
Re: MF boss drops steady low ?

It's possible that you are getting more "nonexisting" drops now than you used to. Several item types don't have set or unique versions of them, so if the game rolls a set/unique for that item type, you instead get a double-durability magic item (for failed set) or triple-durability rare item (for failed unique).

Make sure to check durability of your blues and yellows if you want accurate statistics for what "good" items drop in your games :)

Wow... bugs sure work in mysterious ways. That´s a nice thread also, Hrus finding seems accurate. Too bad I didn't know this earlier :shocked:

i have a question, i do it exactly as you told me in game one:

kill andy -> tp to town -> talk to warriv -> take caravan to Lut Gholein -> save/exit

game two, kill andy, talk cain, what happens? 1st kill bug drop still exist in the comming games?

oh, another question:

can i be the rushee to do so? meaning someone kill andy for me



 
Re: MF boss drops steady low ?

1. once andy is bugged for that char, she is bugged forever (in that difficulty)

2. yes, just dont talk to a1 cain after andy dies, talk to warriv and travel to act2
 
Re: MF boss drops steady low ?

Would you have complained if your drops were unusually high this month :rolleyes: ? I don't think there's a glitch of some sort related to the cLvL. It's just a bad luck streak IMHO :grin:. You never know when the next drop will grant you a SoJ, a Mara 30 and a perfect Zakarum at the same time :evil: !

Again, there is no reason to not talk to cain. The bug still happens even when talking with all other NPCs before talking to Warriv.
