What's the best way to farm for a Bladed Glove?

[Batabii • Suikoden I&II HD]

Do statues work at all? What about Meteor Heads? Does it require hardmode? Or can I just sit above a lava pit and hope enough slimes die to drop it?

EDIT: Don't explain to me what it is, I already checked the wiki.

Statues probbally work.
Meteor heads will work.
it does not.
That works as well, though it is unneffiecnt.

Been trying to figure out where I got mine. I randomly saw it in my inventory and was not sure where the hell it came from.

I find it funny on how fast it hits.

1/2000 drop.
You have killed over 100,000 zombies. K.

How can you farm for zombies?
And the wiki says they drop from LOTS of different monsters, like goodie bags.

[Deadweight]

They drop from literally anything, I think.
Got mine in underground hallow+ice or something.

Pretty sure normal farming techniques should work.

I've gotten 6 or 7 from blood moons, I kept a couple for posterity and I sell them now.

That's not what the wiki says, it says only WEAK enemies drop them.

I haven't gotten a single one since they existed, and I only have one Bloody Machete.

The Bladed Glove is a melee weapon dropped by any weak (<20 defense, <40 damage and <5 silver coins loot) enemy during Halloween with a 1/2000 or 0.05% chance. The Bladed Glove has a very short range but incredibly fast attack speed.

Thats not how % RNG loot-tables work.
You could kill 1 zombie and it could drop.
You could kill 500,000 zombies and never see it drop.

It is just that each and every time you kill a zombie, it has that specific (1 / 2000) chance to drop. The total number killed is not cumulative or involved in any way.

That's statistically impossible. It COULD happen, but that's like the chance of being attacked by a wild bear.....in a library.

Its not statistically impossible. Its very much plausible. Albeit unlikely.
Just because something has a 1/1000 chance does not mean it will automatically drop after you try 1000 times at least once. This is how Gambling thrives on those who do not understand the basic principles of percentages %.

For instance, go try the TF2 Crate Unboxing simulator. Most crates have a 1% chance of giving you an 'Unusual' item when opened, which is what people desire. However, through simulation and real experience, many have had to open hundreds if not thousands of crates to find even one.

Doing something multiple times, such as farming a specific monster for a specific drop, increase the odds of finding the item you want because more occurences for the drop to occur happen, since you are killing more of the monster(s).

As opposed to just randomly killing that monster once and hoping it'll drop.

However, the difference between your cumulative odds of success and the actual % chance to drop is that the % drop chance (1/1000) remains the same.
