    Sometimes the droprate seems to go down for no reason. It normally picks back up later on. I've had times where I killed 60 monsters and got nothing at all, but I've also had times I made over 100k on the same 60 monsters.

    I find I get worse drop-rate at peak times, and better drop rate when there are few players on. 6 in the morning, if I'm up, I can get crazy-good drops off mobs.

    I find it about the same better at non peak times and depends on what mobs you are going after.

    I did a run of an fb59 few days ago and got over a dozen stamps.
    Next day, I got about 3 stamps.
    Following day, 3 stamps. 4 stamps.
    I dunno, a lot of people in my faction and friend list have been randomly observing decreased drops lately.

    Something's fishy. O wait that's just me. b:surrender

    Personally I wonder if the devs have set drop-rates to be lower when there's a higher concentration of players online, perhaps in order to prevent the game being overloaded with coin.

    I've been testing this a bit lately. 3 dq items and 1 necklace from 100 seaweed thieves at peak time, and dq drops and items every 3-4 mobs off the same 100 early morning. And I've been told thieves have an "amazing drop-rate" so I can't say it's just the mob.
    Same on Deathknights. Usually 80k from a 2 hour grind at peak, 250k off peak. And I've done at least 50 OMA's on those guys so I should know :p

    This is good to know. Makes me want to run my own experiments.

    legend says that dq drops are nerfed after 7x-8x to make ppl buy more golds and exchange them for coins

    this game have one of the crappiest drop rate ever at high level. Most games of this genre have mobs that drop at least one item when killled. here, we have nothing att all 80% of the times. Scheme by the devs to make people cash shop at higher level? maybe

    It's called balance. At low levels the monsters drop a ton but the drops aren't worth much, as you level the drops are worth much, much more so the monsters drop less to make up for it.

    Maybe, but the OP is only lvl 45. And even at level 73 I am still getting awesome drop rates. I have noticed on my lower level chars (35 and 45) that the drop rate is different, different times of the day. Some times it will be super good where I get 3 and 4 things out of almost every mob I kill, other times it will be coins, coins and more coins.. .if I'm lucky.

    I'm still collecting data, but since the last patch, in the 10 bosses (FB51, FB59) I've killed where I've gotten drops (i.e. excluding the coin-only drops), I've only gotten 3 purple (3-star) items and no molds. The rest have been blue (1-star) or white. Previously I would average about 1 purple per boss. A couple of the bosses dropped nothing but white items and a lucky pack.

    Some lucky tabber got 2 molds in a fb69...

    other than that, yes drop rates have been very bad for me in grinding.
