Signet Drop Rate

[LadyPhoenix]

No one else has this problem so it must be where you are leveling.

I guess they don't count as people?

Actually this is a fact. There has been a whole group of us collecting these and in 2 days (Of which I grinded for over 12 hours day one and 4 so far today) we still don't have 50 blue, and i've managed to get about 3 in that time. I'm not leveling in any obscene places that no one would possibly go, infact quite the opposite. To blame it on where we are leveling is just silly. Congrats to all the other guilds for achieving guild status in under six hours but the fact is something is wrong. With my experiences the drop rate of signets is pretty messed up as people on this forum have also agreed. But your right, were just making this up because were bored. Clearly.

There's a lot of reasons this could be happening, the least of which is a changed drop rate.

Let's start with the fact that first and foremost, many people have not had this problem (Personally, I had over 10 blue signets in my first few hours of leveling, and that was competing with other people for the drops). There's also a few guilds, and have been a few guilds, open and ready in Yllse.

Even though you have a guilds-worth of people gathering these, you're all leveling together, in the same spots. This means that even if there are 10 of you in a group, you won't be killing that much faster than a group of 5 would (at least as far as respawn timer slows you down does), and you'll be getting the same amount of drops. It'd be different if there were 5 different groups of you leveling at different places. More people =/= more drops, especially if you're all leveling together (and from what I've seen in Yllse... wow, massive groups of people who just want to hump each other).

The reason you notice this more now is because you actually need signets. It's the same as combat skill books. No one cares until a new server comes out, then everyone complains that the drop rate is lower than it usually is (imagine if we didn't get any at 21? There would be massive crying), even though it's always been and will always be the same. It's as simple as 'you're thinking about it' as opposed to 'not thinking about it'.

Well that's true but we aren't always leveling together. If that had been the case, then absolutely your right. But we have been off doing our own things due to levels and personal objectives.

Your third comment makes a hell of a good arguement. Let me say this about that. It could have everything to do with what your talking about and bad luck on my part but In the past I've always had a 1:2 ratio or very close to. This is coming from someone who soloed for signets once upon a time. I can't help but feel its alittle bit of both, your probably right to some extent because yes of course things always feel longer when your desperately trying to push to obtain them (with anything in life, DR aside) I also think there is alittle to do with altered drop rates or even a mistake somewhere from my past experiences with farming these. Honestly it could be anything. Very good points though.

No

[ArabianArrow]

I don't really see it as a problem since it's the same drop rate for everyone. I see a lot of guilds up now too...

[Tensu]

already about 10

LP u made ur guild on vysus?

[Minipp]

Elmy pretty much pointed out the most obvious reason people think the drop rates of signets and combat skill books are too low.

Because everyone wants them!

The drop rates of both of these items weren't changed at all from any previous servers.

Suck it up.. complain about something else.

Thanks,
