Titan glove won't drop, i'm on my 40th mimic

[SeCor[RU/ENG]]

Am I missing something?
Wiki says all items (hook, dagger, glove, stone, necklace, cloak) have equal chances to drop, but if that is true, then basic math says there's (1 - (1 - 1/6)^40) ~~ 0,00068 ~~ 0.07% chance that I would not get it from 40 mimics and I do not consider myself this lucky.

So far I have seen all items from the loot table, all 40 items are in about equal proportions hooks/daggers/stones/necklaces/cloaks, but no titan gloves at all.

Does it even drop from mimics at all?

Yeah it does drop. I have a spare(I think) if you want one. What mimics are you killing? I think they only drop from normal ones.

[SeCor[RU/ENG]]

I appreciate the offer for the spare, but it's kinda like a personal challenge at this point.

i'd say about 35 of mimics were normal goldens, 5 were shadow. wiki says they have the same loot table and they all did count the same towards mimic banner (looking at it via pda).

Could there be differences between the three basic mimics (wooden/golden/shadow) that are not mentioned on wiki? i e maybe it cant drop from golden mimic specifically, despite the rest of loot table being the same (philosopher stone / star cloak / etc)

I dunno, I just remember I get most of my mimic loot from normal wooden ones.

thanks for the info then. I guess i'll have to rig up a farm somewhere at surface level.

All mimics drop the same loot except for the corrupt mimics. A farm would be more efficient at the cavern layer due to spawn rates, so setting up a farm in a location without hallow or crimson/corruption would also be a good idea because then there's a higher chance that a mimic will spawn rather than a different creature.

you can though, they only require that there's a natural background to spawn, here's the thread i found https://www.reddit.com/r/Terraria/comments/2b3ejl/farming_mimics/ . The difference is that at 'underground' wooden mimics are all replaced by goldens.

i even managed to prototype the farm and spawn a couple of woodens (still no glove), but spawn rate is so low and the farm itself is so ugly that i will move it somewhere underground today

as i understood the reddit thread the idea of surface one is that at surface there can only be either mimic or slime and that somehow helps.
prototype was too slow though, i'll move the farm underground as you say

Same problem SeCor. can't find one and I've killed like 20 or so mimics so far.

Thread is 2 years old, just stop.

given that there's interest in the thread: i did eventually get the glove in several days of farming.
On another playthrough a couple months ago it dropped from second mimic i've found, so there's that.

I got the titan glove on my first mimic. Maybe you're just really unlucky.
