Must admit one of the great things about mir is the small possibility of getting a rare item from normal mobs if you spend a long time grinding them. So far at lvl 33 I have had 0 added stat items drop(not even a crap stat) and nothing better than a lvl 25 item which wouldn't be bad if it was just luck but everyone is saying them same thing.

Im not wanting rares dropped on a plate but I dont have time to hunt bosses all the time and I feel like there is 0 chance of getting a good item from grinding normal mobs over a few weeks which has always been my fun in mir so have hung up my coat for now.

Did 2 different people do the exp/drop rates as they are not in anyway synced its like a boss fight in Deus Ex: Human Evolution.

Maybe towards the end... you certainly couldn't at the beginning. I was a L39 Wizard aiming for 40 more than a year (prob much more) into the server and there were only a handful of people above me. I don't have screenshots anymore so I can't say "on this date it was this hard" and I'm sure it did get progressively easy so no point arguing it.

Anyway, point is it took many many years before seeing everyone with their J Mace or DSS was commonplace.

yea back when the highest level content was RedMoonValley... You can't keep that rate and add 1.5 Content + and expect it to work.

EXP Rate is Far too high for the Drop rate... (Or the Drop Rate is far too low for the EXP)

These words exactly. We are 2x Euro exp yet the drop rates are probably harder than Euro. It simply doesn't work.

I have to agree with this, the exp rate does seem higher than the drop rate, perhaps I didn't take this into account... I've always been one of the ones who wears the shop crap

I told you this server was garbage 2 weeks back. Since I left your all still in coral rings and gr8 axes.

This is a godam private server, I have no idea why you all want to run around in shop kit on a PRIVATE server!?! If it was official I could possibly understand...even then it boggles my mind with all the amazing current games you could be playing why you would want to play a slow non drop server LOL

Well done.


Now you can spend time hunting for kit instead of wanting it all free whilst grinding the levels.

PS: how much :D

Wouldn't surprise if they was using something as he got banned on euro for using cheats ;) then again most people have used them at some point.

PI guess there is a fine line in between drops.
one side is you get everything handed to you
other side is nothing drops dsword is rare boss drop .

Cant people find something in between?
like every 50 times a major boss dies it shud drop a 30 weap , every 150 a 36 every 750 a 40 and every 3000 a 43 weapon.
counting mtk,zt,yimoogi,foxboss,oaks,dd
spawn every 3 hrs that's a pure maximum of 48 bosses a day
thats an average of 1 30 a day, 1 36 each 3 days ,1 40 each 15 days and 1 43 each 2 months
so the drop rate of the weapons should be five times as low as I said cause of 5 classes weapons
30: 200 36: 600 40: 3000 43: 12000
these drops are even low as **** but probably better then they are right now.

you need to x5 since there are 5 Weapons. but this is the correct way to do drops, not just guestimations.

From what i have seen mobs can only drop minor rares and very very rare chance of books. All the good drops are boss only, and respawn timers on boss's seem to be low to encorage killing them. Leveling and getting kit from mobs doesnt work on here, unless some of the high end maps drop kit from mobs, orcs or JP maybe.

Past Bichon oma's I know drops Soul Necklaces (we had one)
BugCave mobs dropped a couple of Magic Shields / UE etc back when they were very rare.
WG / WT also were a good source for 26 weapons.
Ghouls in DeadMines can also drop well.
Also the first mass heal we had in Apex came from leveling hunt in a normal cave.

and that's just from my experience.

I wouldn't worry about drops too much yet, So far I've been very impressed by the amount of rares coming from normal mobs ..... really gives the impression you can get lucky just by leveling in a cave by yourself, especially last week when bosses didn't drop anything of use it felt like caves were maybe the better place to be.

This week however, some bosses do seem to be dropping better & unfortunately general mobs don't seem to have been changed much.

Anyway, back on topic & I do agree PB is truly dire for drops and I don't mean for epic rares... I mean you can't even extend a hunt by 10 minutes with the crappy pot drops or gold that drops.

OmaKing is killed on respawn, has been for 2-3 weeks.

ZT is probably killed every couple hours, has been for 3 or 4 weeks, probably more.

Fox has maybe been killed twice, yims never.
