Mine is "Murphy" (slightly different to the actual concept of Murphy's Law).

Woot... found a 35 Padded Robe with 42 Vitality... yup, that is Murphy for you, had to be Vitality.

I use to think that using Abilities like Retribution, Powershot etc for final blow on monsters gave me 0 drops or just Tier I or IIs... well I have used Retribution, got 4 drops from kill and TierIII to TierV... all junk of course.

I use to think you get more side drop welling items around your character level... well last Bufcore climb I put in a level 30 Ice @ level 70 and got 8 side drops... omfg... 8 side drops... well so much for that theory, mind you it was during this event of 52% MD

So what is yours?

wells down TD's yield better drops.
Vitality drops at 20+ more often than any of the other 3 stats.
Max EES at level 15+ no longer drop
Paul hates us

not sure this one is superstition, there's randomness, but it seems consistent:
I would agree that fighting wells around your level yield more side drops.

Welling below the items level DOES give more drops. Just because a big drop happens above the item level doesnt change that fact...

I didn't say it was a theory... this is a "Superstition" thread.

During bufcore climb @ level 28 vs 3 Normal Monsters I kill the first one off using Retribution with Longsword and this drops (3 minutes ago)

Mystical bronze plate mail III
Physical Defense: 10 to 32
Magical Defense: 0 to 4
+174 Max Life
+1 to 6 Life per Kill
-2% Mana Consumption

May not be great, but at least it isn't a tier I / II, and for bufcore that is a decent TierIII item.

Nice comments from all others... keep the "Superstition" coming, I did think of an older one.

Killing Well mobs without exiting while near level (i.e. 5-8 levels below) increases the amount of MODS you get on either 1 or 2 items from drops... I just did this and got a +7 level 20 item and +5 level 15 item on HC MP now (if not already bought... and yes... junk items none the less)
