Is it just me or has the amount of drops been dramatically reduced? like i said, i could be having bad luck but the wife also hasn't recieved much either.
in the past few months, i have not recieved 1 single scroll and i have had around 3 oranges in total.
Most of the money these days have been from dismantleing and leveling new characters up.
Is this normal for NA for hte drop rate to be so low? Eu was pretty good for drop rates.

  1. Has the drop rate changed or is this NA drop rate?25 votes
    1. NA Drop rate always like this
       56% (14 votes)
    2. Everyone has changed.
       44% (11 votes)

    Sadly rng is rng, just like infusing like to get an +2 crit infusion on a non crit base accessory it is 0.3%, a person may get it in the first try or others after 500

    I don't mean to sound rude but it isn't possible to check if nexon changed the rates of the drops it's all speculation

    What raids do you do per day and how many? Rushing all of S3 per day usually yields an ES every 2-3 days on average. Going dry to me is just having bad luck on which scrolls you get. Sometimes you get The Dead ES, other days it's just an Exped.

    I've had days where I've profited 100m+ from raids, and other times I've gone a week without getting an ES at all. If you're going 3 months with 3 total OJ's, it sounds like you just aren't doing very many raids per day.

    Special battles can also be good money, especially with this event currently running. Being able to do 10 battles per reset, I've been getting an average of one OJ every other day or so.

    Well this game gives you like periods of luck and periods which make you want to quit. Apparently you are having the latter one, and so do I.
    Before the maintenance last Thursday, I got 1 Scattered Essence Box per day, not counting scrolls from other Raids or even the Enchant Pouch. However, After the maint, I haven't got any, which has been happing for almost a week...

    The drop rate on a particular items does drop. Because they've put alot of crappy items to mess up the loot table thus reducing the %. Crappy items would be temporal box key,ergs,magic powder and so on.

    Honestly it's RNG, if life hates you, you may not get drops in years.

    I usually play with VIP+Badge+Luck offering+ Campfire guild and i get around 3-5 Rank under7 scrolls every week.

    I know everyone has a different way to play the game but for me the key to make money are those maps where you make money from the junk. For example each item that you can dismantle from Enzo yields 40-50k, which you can stack to hundreds before dropping a single ES from a raid. Another would be donegal dailies, where even normal monsters and trees can drop high-profit junk. I did this for years, back in the days my maps were CiF, gauntlets and later muir, and never ran out of money. If you hate RNG, evade it.

    thats just it. you can either farm the crap out of s2 raids and dismantle or try your luck and get quick gold. sometimes it just pays to be random and hope for the best lol
