Whats the go with fb drops?

Can someone please explain to me and confused others as to how fb drops work?

Why is it that on some runs you get a floor covered in 3* gear and a mold but on others you simply get coins???

Help is appreciated :)

    It is simply a matter of chance. coins are the most common drop and i hear they drop more the higher levels you have with you.
    Molds of course are rare.

    For the best chance for good drops on an FB, do it with a full squad of players close to the level of the quest. Contrary to popular beleif, it's actually possible.

    Eg: FB19 done with players 19-21. Got alot of 3stars from that.

    There's a whole lot of theories about ways to improve drop rates in FBs.

    The best, sure-fire way that will work every single time is to do the entire FB with people of around that FB level, as Reikara said. That's a proven. Having even one highbie in your party will completely **** the drop rate.

    And then there's a few theories.. like getting a lowbie to get in the first hit, or having a lowbie get in the last hit, or killing the boss with a DoT, or having a lowbie do most of the damage, or not using pets, or using pets, or not killing the boss with a DoT...

    That's the ones I've heard.. and for each theory, I've had someone swear upside down and back to front that it works.

    From what I've seen.. all those theories are complete bollocks except for lowbie last hitting. That actually seems to work. I didn't think it would, but it hasn't let me down yet. It really does seem to consistently improve the FB boss drops.
    Everyone here is ridiculously oversensitive.

    My friends and i have tried something recently when we are doing tabbed runs for our guild lowbies. When the boss is at about 5% health all of us drop party, i still hold aggro, the lowbie gets the kill credit. It only works if you have two people close to the bosses lvl tho, because if everyone drops party the party dissapears and all the drops are forfeit im pretty sure. Then they just re-invite us!

    We've dont it about 5 times, so far it hasn't failed.
