Hey guys. Im an old time player, all the way back now.

I still enjoy looking at the game and the various iterations, but my question is pretty simple.

with those new. "events", and whatever changes paul has made under the table.

how is the Drop rate. Is it anywhere near *likely* that a chap will ever find an item they will get excited about in a reasonable amount of playing?

drops are bad. Event with more eps raise de chance tho. Gl

drop rate was increased. if you explore you will find something sooner or later. this month i have allready earned over 1000 fg from ls. last month like 500+ and the month before 1500+ fg.
several guys found really nice stuff like 160ee lvl 25 wind or 164ee 34str lvl 45axe.

I've done 70 explore climbs this month some solo some full group
Only seen 2 items with over 100ee.
one item with 70 ee
no stat items besides vitality.
rest of the items i saw are shrineables, over all pretty bad item drops from my experiance in the past month.

when i solo i explore at 30+
when in groups we explore 55+

The drop rate has changed a whole lot over the past few years. One thing that I can tell you is that you can no longer easily find items while soloing.

I think it's fairly safe to assume that it's currently impossible to find anything above average while soloing. During my last 48 full explore solo climbs, the highest enhanced effect item I've found is a level 10 sword with 93% EE and I think that the highest stat I've found is 39 int and vita. This is while using a whole lot of magic luck, 16-18 at level 30+ and a bit less before that.

Back in 2012-2013, I used to find pretty close to one 100ee+ item per solo climb, and now I can't find one in 48.

Drops are still bad but I will say more is dropping with events then I'm used too.

drops have been improving for sure

Whistle u will find nothing but GPs, exploring has yielded results for some people though

This has been found in a whistle climb, iam 99.9% sure, because my guildies rarely explore.

So good items can be found without exploring too
