Dragon Liver drop rate?

[TotaledCow.cR]

I'm pretty far into the game, have done ED1, ED2, and ED3. I've spent months grinding, and I've finally got 1 Dragon liver to drop... I need at least 5 for one of the equipment items. The second just doesn't want to happen. I've been in Ancient Ruins now for about 4 days with nothing dropping, with drop+ and all sorts of drop rate boosters. What's the typical time-to-drop for Dragon Liver?

Take your Silver Scale Dragon to the Demon King and farm its summons.
2% drop chance plus bonus. Pretty good chance to get it that way.

Does Demon King summon the same creatures that you also have in your party?

Yes, unless it's a summon from a guardian, or someone such as Norn/Iari etc.

At least the first version does. The following ones do have their own cycles.

Currently the demon king is by far the preferred farming spot for... well, anything, that is dropped by creatures. I am half worried, they will change it at some point; I cannot imagine, it was planned this way.

This answer was a life saver. I spent almost two weeks farming as a tamer, and didn't get a single dragon liver. I used the demon king method, and got all five livers in an hour. Now I just need to farm stats enough to open other areas so I can get more gold to farm crystals.

most farming activity can be done at the first DK, runes, dragon liver from silver scale dragon, rare metal from golden slime, and take a look what other summons drop in the bestiary, sometimes you can get stuff faster from DK then elsewhere (brain domination is your friend, it hits at the same time as the demon kings summon and instakills every thing if the DK goes down)
only boss mobs dont drop anything from DK sadly, but you can farm them fast anyway

wait with crystal farming untill you have at least the 3. guardian summons and a softcapped envy level in crystal converter (4. guardian has another summon that helps with conversion, so wait until there if you arent in an absolute hurry)
it improves the gold conversion rate a LOT
with quests and stuff i have a multiplyer of 10 or so at DR for gold to crystals
an wait a bit with shard to mana crystal until you get at least 3, better 5 crystals per conversation
