80 solo climbs and only 1 x 100+ ee item. Sure things are not going my way, how would you explain the rest of it?



80 climbs?

https://forums.d2jsp.org/user.php?c=3&i=599814

Looks like maybe 9 climbs? The other 71 on your multi??? Or you just blowing shut out of proportion? We got 2 rewrites recently that tweaked the hell out of the drops. Ignore the past and look forward. Hell your complaining worse than CARTRACK was.

what do you consider a great drop? Is it maxed stats or are you only interested in 100 ee items and above?

For example, since the update, I've been finding LOTS of items like this:

Godly lightning IX
Level Req: 30
Spell Damage: 15 to 155
Mana Cost: 69

+73% Enhanced Effect
+2 Vitality
+2% Experience Gained
+6 Life Regen
+14 Mana Regen
+3 Critical Strike
+1% Parry
+1% Physical Damage Reduction

and this:

Rare runed leather armor
Level Req: 35
Physical Defense: 15 to 46
Magical Defense: 10 to 40

+1 to 2 Mana per Kill
+41% Heal Mastery


technically these are "big ticket items" since they are maxed almost on that stat.


also not to mention all the normal lvl 30 and up that i always sell



Amen brother! Preach it

I've been playing for I think just over a month now. Did about 38 MQ's always with a team, never saw anything good drop except very recently a decent Lightning worth maybe 200-500.
I also solo explored to about lvl 60 a dozen times, rerolling around that level because combat would reaaaally slow down for me. About a week ago I found a dex robe I sold for 2k, and I'm still sitting on an int robe worth 1.5-2k. Both found during solo explores.

Waste to reroll at such a high level (or almost anytime really) if I'm ever around your level and active if u need help I can tank for you

It took me around 6 months before I found my first big item, but the drop rates for everything have gotten much better in the last year. With the updates it remains to be seen whether the drop rates of the big items has gone up, but the rates of decent/usable items that sell for 50 - 500 fg or so has definitely gone up. However, the potential for epic drops has gone up substantially with these recent updates. Those complaining about loot usually are hunting unlocks and guildpoints. That is one goal of the game, but if you really want drops, it’s not whistle climbs, not even 1000 whistle climbs... it’s exploring, finding EPs, welling, mapping, etc.

In the last 6 months or so, I’ve found several 1k+ items exploring and welling. Of course some of those items are worth quite a bit more than 1k :) I’ve only ever found 1 sexy item in whistle climb... and it was lvl 10 :P

Good luck in cata! :thumbsup:

If good items dropped often, all current gear wouldn't have it's value. The idea of the rpg for me is going after those very hard to find items. If everyone had great gear there'd be nothing to work towards.

Solo whistling or whistling in small groups has horrible drop rates. However in full group to 81 (or 101 now) there usually is 1-2 nice items that drop (butctoy gotta be quick and lucky to beat the other players to it).

If you still complain about drops you should just play and explore more. Droprate is really nice now. I have seen several 100+ee drops and sold 1 of them that i got for 1200 fg.

@ creator: i dont know the timeframe anymore but in my profile are all 1000+fg drops that i had so far.

still rng based, i have done several full solo explore climbs, several group explore 55+´s. and tons of whistling. i still have to get anything :) i htink i have made 1500 fg in sellable drops beside skillables since i startet 5 months ago. :) nothin to mention since new update..

no complaining, that is just how RNG works, i am worried a bit tho, 55´s seems to drop very very very rarely, infact i think i can count on one hand the amount of 55´s i have seen since new update, and i play alot more than most!
