Remember 66% is the ones counted out of your total actions that aren't zeros or heals. 4k actions would be about 2640 points which would give you almost two full ranks.  this number shrinks of course as you gain ranks reducing the amount you'd get per climb.  It's pretty dead on.  I'm rank 24 earth so I don't start gaining till lvl25; I'm only gong to get about 2600 actions I'll take the low number and it would give me about 1716 points.  I'd then have to reduce the difference I'd get at lvl60,65,70.  Get roughly 285 actions with this example so lvl60 1 tier difference = 44% - 125, 65 2 tier difference = 22%- 62, lvl70 3 tier difference ~20% -57.  Comes out to 1105~.  to get rank 25 it's 25,000 points. I usually get 4% a climb.  4% of 25,000 = 1,000.  So the only number that's off is that diminishing return number starting at the 3 tier difference.  I could test those to get it exact also.  But it's pretty set on the %'s vs the amount of actions, the gain always comes out the same in all the climbs we've done.

DONE

Results were 333 casts of wind and only ended with 88 prof
Main slot vs Acc slot seemed to not matter at all.(not that it was in question)

Waaay lower than 66% it seems. If you see any mistakes let me know and I'll test again.

Since we know there is a cap on tiers to your prof gain, how does this apply past level 71 mobs?  I would imagine you would still get the same amount of prof gain since there are no higher tiers monsters can use (unless Paul programmed it in a way that they do but we don't).  Although I do not think the risk of trying to get more prof this way would be worthwhile.

I found a 246 ee lvl 55 longsword in a td. a 210 ee lvl 50 focus in a td. a 189 ee lvl 45 sword with 15 mana syphon in a td. a 172 ee 50 axe in a td.. The best in game spear 260 ee dropped in a td.. so did the 234 ee spear. I was in game for both


Please bold the part that is not good Rick.

Your experiences/luck does not mean TDs yield more drops.

I could flip a coin 5 times a day for a week. And just because I got 5 heads on Thursday doesn't mean Thursday has a higher chance to land a coin on heads.

TDs could affect drops, but to determine it you either need an extremely large sample size with multiple people or proof from Paul it does.

In theory, monster toughness increases drops. Tds make the monsters tougher. It's suppose to work like that and Paul has confirmed that monster toughness equates to more drops or better drops I forget. Not sure if it actually works though, probably does in the slightest bit.
