So apparently loot dropped from bosses is fixed with the spawn

[PaceyLionheart]

Tried reloading again and again from tavern and running over to the wight just to farm for the Ring of Recitation (3% chance of drop)

Killed him 12 times and he always dropped Craos Tine (19% drop chance)

What ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ system is this?! 3% chance and then fixed drop and 7 days to respawn?? Are they ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane or what? Now I have to run to the stupid volcanic island to get the one just to teleport back to where i was. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ system is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The whole anti save scum mechanic is horse crap. Let me play the game I BOUGHT like I WANT and what is FUN TO ME

Edit: I meant the quickspell ring (Ring of Recitation)

you can buy that ring for 10k from a vendor if you DON'T like how the RNG and LOOT drops WORK. BTW even if the loot wasn't fixed (not sure where you got 2% / 19% drop rates from or how those were calculated) you'd have a 78% chance to not see the ring on only 12 kills.

No I meant another ring, that can not be bought. It is really really far away, basically at the other side of the map in late/endgame area. Apparently people made a percentage loot table on various sites already. That is where I have the numbers from. And yes it is fixed. The staff only has a 19% loot chance among two other equipment pieces that have about the same percentage. So it is basically impossible to drop that staff 12 times in a row, without seeing some other equipment drop instead.

UGH. You're killing the wrong mob. LICH drops that ring. (and that ring is found in a cave also).

WIGHT is what drops Craos Tine. WIGHT does not drop ring of recitation. it drops ring of quickening. which is available for 10k from vendor.


Also the drop rates are impacted by THE LEVEL OF THE MOB.

So you could be getting 100% drop rate because everything else has 0 droprate due to level.

Damn. That is true and I have no idea, how I mixed that up. But somehow this makes the RNG of this even worse. There is only one location, maybe two where a lich spawns in non endgame. That is just insane. These Capcom games and their grind..

You can get that ring from a quest line. But yeah man, rare things are rare.

It's an RPG.

Also: Recitation is 25%, the other cast speed ring is 15%. Not a huge difference, and considering the former reduces your HP by 40% I'd just use the cheaper ring anyway.

Why not use both? They stack
