Is there any explanation as to why some Elites drop every time (Darmov, Eribor), and others only rarely (Telovien, Nightshade, Burning Hellion)? Just wondering.

i noticed as u lvl up and fight more high lvl monsters their drop rate is lower than the low lvl monsters. my guess is because u need to kill same monster over and over to lvl up their drop rates become a little low... my guess is there is a formula about drop rate change with creature lvl in it ( i think devs will not bother themselves for making every creature a new drop rate.. :shock: ) All i know it is probably higher than 1% at minimum (probably 2% minimum drop rate) no way to work it out however not enough data.. sometimes u get a drop every monster u kill in a 10 kill row sometimes u get nothing in a thousand kill row :?)
off topic : Hey Hoof lvled up to 16 :shock: i guess it is from xp per hour :) has he even moved around in the last week? :lol: *closing of topic* sorry if i didn' t say that i'd feel bad for days to come :)

I figure you're right about generic monsters. I get FAR more common drops than I could ever use and end up burning most of it. However, speaking specifically to the question of ELITES, I just wondered if there was any method to the madness when it comes to how often a given Elite drops. I have noticed as I level that the Elites stopped dropping every time, but I was just trying to figure out how often they dropped. Surely they don't drop as slowly as generic creatures, do they? I noticed on whichever guy drops Majestic Elven stuff that I got like one drop in 10 kills maybe, but I killed many more Telovien Elites than that and got nothing. Now, the Telovien isn't in his own playground like Darmov, Eribor, Nightshade, and the Burning Hellion, so I wrote it off to that fact. However, I've killed Burning Hellions eight times now and got nothing. I probably killed the Nightshade guy twice that and got nothing. Just wondered if anyone was clued in to the drop rates of specifically the Elites versus other creatures.

what u say is nearly impossible to do i killed a total of 10.000 lost souls and stopped looking their drops... they're drop rate is quite slow compared to low lvl monsters however when u kill that much u don't even notice it. when it comes to elites and champs their drop rate is about the same as commons as far as i can tell however i didn't kill that much of them so i can't even give u a probablity on that one. drop rate simply becomes more noticeble for this creatures because there aren't much to hunt
