Waaaaay back in earlier versions of the game it used to be the first person to click on it got the item.
But then there were problems with people camping the item drop box instead of actually clicking to kill the monsters — basically letting the "others" kill while they were ready to snag the drops.
So now, it's supposed to be randomized. Clicking on it puts a countdown on the item and whoever clicks on it gets a chance to win it.
But nobody knows for certain how it's generated. During some climbs it feels like it's fair, and in other instances it seems like the same person gets the majority of the clicked on items.
There's some climbs where it seems a certain person has their magnets turned on!
Vouch. Remember though guys, that random does not mean equal or even distribution. When you roll dice, sometimes you roll a bunch of 6s. Sometimes it seems almost impossible to roll a 6... but if you roll enough dice, your distribution of numbers rolled will eventually become approximately equal
