    If it is 2x drops, explain why 3 gold mats dropped from one TT boss. 2x drops would mean always an even number. It's not cause you can get 1 or 2 or 3... haven't seen 4 yet. Same with last boss in nirvana, you dont always get 4 raps. Sometimes its a mirage, sometimes 4 unc, sometimes a good mix like 2 raps and a mirage and an unc.

    Not an archer but I believe it to be drop rate.

    4 raps
    There is your answer. Normal would get you 2 drops. If it were drop rate, you would only get 2 regardless of drop multiplier. It doesn't multiply your actual drops, only the amount of items the boss would drop. A side effect of it is items seem like they have higher rate since you basically killed the same mob twice.

    Multiple gold mats can still drop without 2x on. You probably could have gotten 3 anyways without 2x.
    /quit.

    How do you explain getting 3 items or any odd amount of items from a mob/boss then?

    Instead of 2 dice rolls, there are 4. Each dice roll still has the same probability as during normal server status (or so we assume).

    Right but that would go with 2x drop rate and not 2x drops. Which was my point. If it were 2x drops everything would drop an even amount and it doesn't. right?

    ok .. all those that think that Drop rate increase = 2x items dropped well it is true and untrue ..



    Truth of the story is .. 2x drops = a inacease in normal drop rate .. IE .. as someone said .. 100% drop rate x2 = 200% so instead of getting 2 items form a normal 100% ya get 4 ...


    .. ya wnat to go do your math and study it up .. and stop thinking you know everything abotu PWI .. then go here.. http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/drop

    2x drops means you are rolling the dice twice as often. It's as if you are killing two copies of the mob at once. There is no implied guarantee those two copies of the mob will drop the same things or even drop at all. That's why you can throw away any notion of getting an even amount of drops from mobs (even GMs make this mistake).
