How exactly do the recipes drop? |

However, the drop rate is extra-ordinarily low... so it might seem like they don't drop in one zone or another.

If this IS how the system works, then I don't think there's a timer to reset.
If I'm wrong, somebody will no doubt be along shortly with the correct information.

PvP IOs have a small chance to drop from any rep-valid kill (that is, any kill against a player that would earn you rep would give you a chance at a drop). The rep timer is a static 5-minute timer - being damaged or damaging your opponent doesn't reset that timer.

Okay... I gotcha. So they do drop (very small chance) from all PvP area zones and Arena on a valid defeat.
What about that timer thing? I would hate to defeat a person and then because I run into them 4mins later and defeat them again just before the 5min timer I have to wait another 5mins vs just defeating them when they appear again. Does that make any sense?
I know that the farmers would just sit in arena and set a match for 30mins and just afk kill. I want to maximize my chances without afk killing.
I can farm and do that alot but I would prefer to not spend 2bil inf per recipe or enhance.
Is there a website or someplace online that I can go to see what the actual odds of drops are?
That is, does anybody know approx. how many times on average I'd have to kill a villain to get a drop? Just curious.

The timer was already discussed. It is a flat 5 mins regardless of what you do.|

2Billion is a lot, but in terms of time spent you can easily earn that much before you'll get them from drops pvp'ing. Unless you are a proverbial lottery winner.
