They can, but the drop rate is so pathetic its likely to never happenb:cry
Take this mob for instance -> http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/mob/1773
Only a .0015% chance.

Lower than that, first you must hit the additionnal item drop table : Probability of additiolan items

of 0.5525%

Then on this table you must hit the mold drop : probability of 0.0015%

b:chuckle

roffles. so technically by killing 100k of the same mobs...(correct calculations if wrong)

A = 0.5525% for additional items, B = 0.0015% for mould given additional items.

P(B|A) = 0.005525*0.000015/0.005525 = 1.5E-5 = 1.5E-3% <-- chance for a mould on a single drop

1-(1-P)^100,000 = 0.77687 = 77.687% --> chance for getting mould drop in 100,000 kills

realistically, i can see myself grinding like that at some higher lvls. if those percentages are indeed true, then i may well come on here one day and talk about normal mobs dropping me a mould hahaha

good luck

I have gotten a mold from a normal mob.

I got a Cudgel of the Barbarian Lord, lvl 87 Polehammer from the Dazzlewings above Peach Blossom Grove. I got it when I was in the low 80's.

I could not believe my eyes when I saw the color of the drop. I almost fell off my chair when I saw it was a weapon I could use. b:pleased

I have been wondering this for the longest time myself.

Its good to know that atleast one person has gotten the extremely rare mold drop off a mob. b:victory

Assuming that A and B have independant probabilities... the effective droprate is just P(A,B) = P(A)*P(B) = 0.005525*0.000015 = 0.000000082875

The expected number of molds is 1 for every 12,066,365 mobs. On a given server and for a specific lvl80ish mold, if you assume there are lets say 500 lvl 80+ players who kill 200 mobs a day on the average then that's 100,000 mobs / day that are killed. You can then expect for that mold to drop once every 4 months. I'm not too sure about the numbers for the active players in an appropriate level range and how many mobs they kill so the real range may be once every 2-6 months.
