so i thought to increase drops players have to be within a screen?
same thing for heralds? so killing a harold on p8 will only matter if all 8 players are within a screen or?

All 8 must tele stomp harold at the same time for max efficiency and chance at sunder

players count as half a player if they arent nearby. this is why /players count in offline only increments on odd numbers (it rounds down).

For drops it's the same map area (eg Chaos Sanctuary). You may be thinking of shared exp, where you need to be within a 53 1/3 yard radius.

no there is an additional +drops for players on the same area too.
so essentially P8 online WITH players in the same area will be better then single player p8 that has no actual players around.

but to OP... u arent gonna be increasing ur odds much more for sunders.
their drop rate is that shit.

just chillax and lvl ur Non Ladder warlock to 99, stock up on statues and wait for ladder to end and they implement a balance update patch (they already said if enough positive feedback aka SALES of ROTW is successful ... they will do further continued patch updates).

They do, you don't get full mf benefits unless they're close by when the mob dies. But you can still get some benefits by them just being in town or whatever.

I do. Average 17 heralds in a game. It's worth the extra minute each time to set up, move them in, then back to town.

It doubles your chance to get a sunder drop.

"How do Heralds work? Herald spawn mechanics, Sunder drop rates, Shard uneven drop ratio and more" on Reddit has some nice pictures.

Won't post the link, I've been temp banned for linking other sites before.

Good luck.
