Better drops in Neuron-missi?

So, a friend farms the Neuron missi form Unai with the 4 glowies.
Indoor, pretty small...

He said, he had about 70(!!!) purple drops in about 4 months. He said he got a pruple every 60-140 recipe-drops.

I tried the mission myself and after about 30 runs, I didn't even get one purple, nor a "good" drop (lotg def/end for example)...

In my opinion, the purple drop-rate is based of number of kills you make and is completely independant of the enemy group (not rank).

I'm a fan of the council-empire missi and I had a couple of purples there too. But in the last 2 months maybe 8-10.

So, does anybody of you notice something similar or is it just incredible luck?

Mob drops rates are affected by rank (boss/lt/minion) not type (carnie, council, blue clockwork or warrior clan etc)

Sounds like an over enhanced version of truth there. Either that, or he sent alot of cake to the devs...

Aren't purples approximately 0.5% of all recipes? 1 purples every 140 recipes would be pretty lucky, but possible.

He said he got one purple about every 2-3 runs.

So you also think he's either really lucky or it's simple not true...

Ok, and I thought the us players maybe missed the best farm ever ^^

I get a purple every third year, but I've been on the black list since I told ol' Jack that he was wrong about the vision of the game, and no one remember to remove me from it now that he's gone. j/k

However, somewhere around 3500'ish defeats (not yours, critters) is a number I seem to remember as droprate for purples.

Based on my old Drop listing & analysis thread, the purple drop rate is around 1 every 1500 mobs given a normal mix of Minions and Lts.


Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

There seems to be a tremendous gap between your numbers the others. I farm even con for the speed up and the numbers seem to be closer to the 1/3k level. That would be in the ever popular demon/freak/save warrior clan village farms. The wall also seems to give a similar number but I don't have solid data as it is so hard to book it for private use.

Has anyone checked that the drop rate is invariant with level differential ?

Either way, with 1/1500 or 1/3000 it leaves us with a drop rate way below 0.01%, thus 1/140 should be "unpossible".

It never showed up as variant during the validation testing once they had purportedly fixed the drop level check bug post I16. People were doing their testing in all sorts of different configurations, and none seemed especially variant once the fix went in.

You mixing two different things:

1/1500 - 1/3000: kills
1/140: recipe drops

*facepalm* I should know better than trying to do reading comprehension or maths before first cup of coffee...

Write that one off as a phail on my part. I'll try harder and do better next time.
