Galkas count as drops?

**Karah** · 2012-10-12 13:29

While not (technically) a drop, I found it crazy that I got all 4 possible (drops) in order, in a row
3 fish, 2 fish, 1 fish, boots, 1-2-3-4 neato!

Maybe I should try a different gob than Sweepstox outside Upper Jeuno. All he gives me is potions, ethers and pies.

Came back in april after stopping late 2009, have exhausted every last one of my voidstones and then some, and have ogiers body, porthos and dilarams to show for it. Zero pulse items.

I believe it is safe to say he is lucky:

1500+ voidstones, no pulsables, only Porthos body and Dilaram to show for, I feel ya.

**Guitarman** · 2012-10-14 20:48

Have the ogier's only in that list. Is it sad the only item i'm jealous of in that SS is the mala? Doesn't exist. Fucking Hahava.

Didn't know the DB was accumulating Voidwatch drops, interesting. Looks like on Rex (and Morta), riftcinder is significantly more common than riftdross, and vice versa on Ig-Alima (and Bismarck).

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-10-15 10:22

It was added yesterday and gives an unfortunate set of drop rates for everything people actually want from Voidwatch. 3% drop rate on Ogier's Helm? Awesome. 0.06% drop rate on Coruscanti? Wow.

I wonder if drop rates in Voidwatch can be divided into reciprocals of powers of 2.
1/8 for the common drops
1/16 for the less uncommon drops (like Pouches)
1/32 for Riftcinder/dross on a monster that has that as the "high" drop
1/64 for Riftcinder/dross on the "low" dropper, or for something like Lux
1/128 for Pulse bodies
1/1024 for Pulse weapons

As of this morning, Pulse Weapons:
Morta : 2/988
Bismarck : 0/232
Botulus : 0/545 (unless you count the scepter, which is just weird)
Aello : 0/206
Qilin : 3/5429
Ig-Alima : 4/2142

Total: 9/9542 = 0.094% drop rate (1/1060).

I thought I was being pessimistic before when I estimated a 0.5% drop rate. Apparently I was optimistic by a factor of 5!

Pulse Bodies as of this morning:
Pil : 11/1434
Celaeno : 6/1125
Hahava : 9/671
Akvan : 7/866
Voidwrought : 1/131
Kaggen : 12/1513

Total : 46/5740 = 0.8% drop rate (1/124)

**Jem** · 2012-10-15 10:29

Yeah some of those droprates seem ludicrous given how SE originally span their droprate jargon with VW. 1 Coru drop every 92-93 Qilin kills across 18 people? Seems balanced to me!

I can only imagine what the drop rate would be without cells / capped lights / bonus to lights from KI's. It almost seems like they've gone '1 in 10000 drop rate? Yeah, that seems about fair to me since we'll be letting their boost their drop rate later!'

I'm actually amazed that the HMP pouch drop rate is as high as 5.5-6%. I know I'm not the only one in my LS who has seen runs of 150+ kills at times without seeing one.

**Slycer** · 2012-10-15 10:31

I thought that classifying them as "extremely rare" (<2% drop rate) on the wiki was enough, but I really didn't think we were dealing with such small fractions of a percent. Like you guys, I was thinking more along the lines of 0.4-0.5%. Makes quite a huge difference when you're down to 0.1% or lower (1/200 vs. 1/1000), so I think they deserve their own rarity category.
