Drop rate on some items.

[Realism51]

I am wondering if we know the exact drop rate of some of items, because I am pretty sure they are not right on the wiki..
I have been farming for the iceclimber boots from wish in Lamordia for about 4 months now.. I have made about 114 runs, and they have not dropped once, and that is even with some of those runs being done with a full group to help

Icewalkers are on the the rare loot list. It's not unexepected that they could take many many runs before you see them.

define many runs, cuz im hearing from others, that they legit drop often enough for htem. I know I can be unlucky but 115 runs and not a single one even in groups and on high reapers?

Most of the modern "rare" loot is on a table with multiple items on it (3 in the case of Myth Drannor are loot), and getting on that table itself is a pain.

When I bothered with farming rare items (I never will again, screw that whole system), I averaged one rare item every 50 lootings, but that was not necessarily the one I wanted. I've had farms go up to 250-ish lootings before the item I actually wanted dropped. I'd expect most to end up around the 150 lootings area (which imo sucks majorly especially for loot that is imo arbitrarily rare).

The luck of others means nothing. Someone could get it on their 1st run or their 1000th. Percent wise, on elite, you've got a 33% chance to get a named item. Then I believe it's ~5% chance for it to then roll on the rare list. And there's 3 rares in the wish (2 items & 1 solar augments). So maybe .54% chance to get them in any given chest.

Let's put it this way, rare loot has such a small drop chance, nobody knows the official numbers for them, we just speculate based off what we've been told and anecdotal evidence.

It has caused some friction.

My friend and I together opened maybe....70-80 chests in the Mushroom demogorgon quest before we got a catalyst. Not sure if it's the exact same drop rate as other rares, but I assume/hope so. With maybe half of those having a discovery pot on, and some rerolls lol.

Are you hunting solo? Throwing up a lfg and asking for help multiplies your chances. Plenty of people will tag along for free xp and other loot, and uuuuuuuusually only people that are willing to pass the item will join.

Rare loot does not exist.
Do not farm it.
Certainly do not reroll for it.
And never forget to tell SSG and shareholders where they can insert that loot.

hey OP I know you probably have them and those uber rare boots are part of your gear tetris, but there are the goggles out of MD (meditative mind) that have similar stats and are easy to get with an inquisitive in the party.

It seems like a fair estimate.

I wonder if the.Elemental Victory from ToEE might be a similar magnitude of rare .

I am only at 130ish chest pulls so far so nowhere near feeling unlucky yet.

And i ofcourse ditched my old copies i got from doing zgutmoy on EE when it was new.
And people wonder why everyone on DDO is a hoarder.

So did I. I let several of those rot.

As far as I know there is no official publishing of their drop rates that can be validated by a 3rd party or community comparison. All we know is we run on the hamster wheel and get treats.

They've confirmed the drop rate in the chill of ravenloft expansion is 33% for normal items. I've heard rare items used to be 3% of those items, was bumped up to 5% after complains and then was increased to 6% in chill of ravenloft. The increase was a big selling point, even though they did not tell us the exact number.

Drop rate assuming the above numbers are correct that's about 2% overall. Assuming ~150 runs, you would have around a 1/8(12.5%) chance to be that dry.


As a reminder there is a suggestion to make drop rates transparent if anyone wishes to upvote or bump that thread.

They will NEVER EVER EVER release any official data with droprates. Them claiming 33% and 5%+ is the most official we ever got any info. They don't mind breaking gambling laws, noone is ever gonna sue.

Trying to get the neck from the wish think i saw 2 or 3 of those boots + some deadly augments before the neck. Think i did like 300 pulls (horrible counting pugs helps) but tooks me a couple of months anyway. So let's say 1 rare every 50/60 pulls , most of them on Elite or R4 mostly depending on which toon i was farming and using djinn boost + discovery pot i trashed no idea when.

So sadly, you'll prob need over 150-200 pulls at least unless you hit the right jackpot very fast. Take in mind that i still see people farming necklace there that will have no issue sharing boots if you pug, not a lot of places with insightful spell dc +4

That consumes most if not all of my will to farm Heartshard
