Well, there's your problem!! Nobody grinds in Heaven for drops! Just go out into the normal world and grind on mid-90-something's there!

You guys must tell me which mobs drop X2 becauz I tried many lvl 81 to 86 and i didnt see any of those dropped a lot like before ... I remember when i was 6x fox dropped more. So if anyone know which mob I must kill at lvl 84 tell me because for me right now its not double drop. Give me Coord if you have it thanks.

I think...the butterflies...in the air around...oh, I forget...Sanctuary, I think. Mothran Dazzlewings are their name. I believe they are around your level. It's been so long since I was 8X.

Um - what? Kill stuff. Great wodging big PILES of drops result.

Sure, sometimes you get unlucky and nothing drops, but I'm very much willing to believe that 2x is in effect.

84... Are demonic rogueknights only 83? I guess you need to move on to firefoxies.


Edit:
To clarify - yes, I am getting double drops. It's not what I'd LIKE to be doing with my time during this week, but it works well enough.

Best place for you to grind is in Burning Heart. Now to have a say on the question of double drops, sometimes I feel like it's not double drops either because one day I was getting tons of drops in Burning Heart but then the next day, I was barely even getting a coin drop. If it's double drops then wouldn't you think EVERYTHING would be dropping double? That's just my opinion.

Yeah, I think 2x drops are working.

Yeah, boss x2 drop but for grind not really. I have more coins than stuff from mobs.

What kind of worthwhile money are you getting out of double event ? I still make more farming herbs/mats per hour in Momaganon b:surrender I tried grinding just for money and it was worse than in my 80's...

I like to grind just because it's something that I'm used to in an MMO. Repetitive, yes; but it's something that I enjoy. I know there are much more profitable things I could be doing (BH, FF's, maybe even a RB or two)...but unfortunately, thanks to college and whatnot, I can't dedicate too much time to this game.

Grinding won't ever make me super-ultra-hyper-rich...but it won't leave me dirt-poor, either. Especially now, with 2x drops (which still work perfectly for me).

Jus' my two yen.

So i guess I can forget Rogue 78% 0 drop...

I've been grindin on Lvl88 Ultrafin Supreme in Sea of Isolation. They drop pretty good to me but Magic Mobs so you probably dont like them.

What people seem to fail to understand about double drops is that it's not a guaranteed "you will get double drops" thing. This is probably associated with the poor wording when it comes to double drops in the first place.

When we say double drops, what is meant is double the drop rate.

Not guaranteed double drops and not even double an item's drop chance. Nope, none of that. But instead, double the rate.

For instance, many mobs have the chance to drop 0-3 items. Let's simplify this however.

When you kill a mob, let's pretend it rolls a four-sided object with the numbers 0, 1, 2 and 3. (Don't get technical about shapes and ****, please. xD ) The number it lands on is the number of drops you get.
In double drops, sticking with this example, two objects are rolled. One object could turn up 2 and the other 3 - meaning you end up with five drops.

The important thing to realise is the chance for a certain drop does not change. A mold with 3% to drop remains at a 3% drop chance - it doesn't increase to 6%. However, because you have the potential ability to get anywhere up to 3 more items than usual, there's a greater chance a special item will drop simply because of the extra chances.

For this very reason, if you only grind one three or four mobs, you won't see a big difference. You need a sample size of at least a good 100 to truly see any difference and even then there is nothing to say you won't get unlucky and have poor chances with your drops. Remember, the more mobs you kill, the more you will notice double drops is in effect.

The problem is everyone saying they making a lot of money and after like 20 mobs I have2-3 dq mats the rest is coins... u call that double drop im the unlucky one ... Ill go grind in a few, I will see what pwi offer me today. Probably coins again.

During only 1 day (at weekend) my Wizard lvl 66 got more than 1 mln. coins grinding solo (including AOE grinding).

This is really double drop without any limits.

Even when after few hours of bh I got about 50 points of reputation I see it.

Edit:
To calculate statistical data we must count drop from thousands , not from 20 mobs.

The proper treatment of error in data is critical in any experimental science. The mere reporting of numbers without any indication of how reliable the numbers are is useless. The application of any of the statistical procedures described in this laboratory exercise depends, first of all, on acquiring multiple data for any process or phenomenon measured. Without at least three trials for each result, error analysis is reduced to a tedious and often phony recitation of possible error sources that is boring to write and even more boring to read. In order to perform a scientifically valid error analysis, you must make your measurements at least three times.

If mold drop once per more than 100000... common mobs you can't expect it to be in first few of them, for example.

I'm in TT60 right now (solo) and I am lucky if the mobs even drop gold!!! Chientien did not drop his TT mat either. What's up with that? Last night I got tons of drops.

At this rate I won't even make enough to pay for the sub I used to enter.... Does this typically happen? Is part of the risk of entering?

Thank you for your thoughts.

Please, remember your squad TT.

If one got, then other not.

Here same situation.
