Drop rate bugged?

[Dandelion]

I'm trying to get a final venison for hunter quest and started farming the first enemy in the beastiary with venison drop in first slot. Kobold spearman.

I have double jade rings in acc slots which brings my Lck up to 27. I have now killed over 150 of them without a single monster drop. wtf?

How is this possible? Does level differance have an impact on drop rates?
Is it that Kobold spearmen drops have abysmal rate?
NOT EVEN A SPEAR!?

Somebody please explain. I'm falling apart here.

[Dandelion]

got one after 200 kills, and a spear right after. Jesus christ. That was an ordeal!

Get the magic necklace from the bounty hunter sidequest. It boosts luck more than the Jade ring.

Something worked for me: I farmed venison 2-3 minutes from armored kobolds, saved, exited the game, and went back in the same spot, venison dropped again in maximum 3 minutes. Hope it helps.

Drop rates in this game are total crap.

[Kai]

I think the drop rate is set to a low low 1% or something, with higher tier enemies dropping 2 and then 3%.

Maybe the luck is determined out of 99 point, so 1% of 99 point means 1 luck is 0.01%?

Drop rate is like 1 apple per hour.

I have had great luck with drop, got 7 platinum with 1 hour. But I used is.... I dont know how to link a pic. I am a noob. So I will just tell you just here:


Magic Charm Accesory + 10 luck from town quest
Headdress Helmet +4 luck
Onyx Ring +3 luck
Platinum Armor +1 luck
Total of 45 Luck

I did all my heavy farming last night in 4 hours with only 41 luck, that means, 6 venison(I was falling sleep and did not noticed I already had 4), 7 platinum ingots, 8 meteorite ingots.

TIP: use a spear when going back and forth when hunting kobolds, makes it super easy, and look for one map you like and go back and forth quickly

for platinum ingots, I dont know if my luck was on fire or the game bugged on my favor but I got 7 in 1 hours just killing this dude: Temple Guard(in Temple map). pick one close to a exit of a map so you can go in and out. Jump into him and stay 3 bodys apart and slash him quickly he will shoot upwards and you can jump up to avoid it when the weapon comes back in a boomerang style and keep killing him. I got 2 mithryl armor too in the process.

For Meteorite Ingot I used Royal Guard, but i abused magic, magic knife level 3, he wont block all the shoots. I think I killed like 13 then I had to go back to town for more magic and repeated the process. this was longer due to have to go to town. it was like 2 hours and 30 minutes. Maybe I picked the wroing spot.

Now I have marked ion my map when i hunte platinum meteorite and Gold ingots(from skeleton archer in the keep, I used gold armor before I have platinum)

I hope this helps someone.

EDIT: english is not my language so sorry any typo or mistake.

It was way harder to farm venison from kobolds than metiorite ore from end-game enemies.

Maybe drop rate is split by how many enemies of that type there is in your game?

That would explain the ease of farming end game enemies of which there are a few and the tedium of farming cannon fodder like kobolds.

Or it might be that I just had way higher luck stat at the end (50).

What is your game gear to reach 50 luck?

[Dandelion]

Travelers cape, dropped by undead archers.
+3 all

emerald ring, found in chest... I think. Can't recall. (maybe magic hidden chest)
+6 lck

Magic charm, bounty hunter quest reward.
+10 lck

I'm lv 37 and I rolled luck once with roulette wheel.

I could go higher with helmet though I like the sword familiar.

I would otherwise use Headdress, dropped by Ladori Warrior
+1 def
+3 str
+4 int
+4 con
+4 lck

[Dandelion]

it took me 400 kills to get the rock troll second drop with 54 luck. This is not fun. Drop rates are too low on fodder enemies especially.

Hmm...
I fought another mob to get those Venison (Armored Kobold).
(my game is in French).
My luck was at 35 at this point.
I got quickly the 4 venison asked by Hunter quest.
I think the drop rate was improved because of the strengthening mob that those Armored Kobold was (for me at that precise moment).
I encountered them in a part of catacomb sunken in darkness.
(EDIT : whoops 🤭 sorry, confused.. I encountered them in a part of the Mine where the WALL JUMP ability (climb equipment) artefact was required to jump to next side of the map!)
That path gave me some time to deal with without losing important health.
So the game rewarded me my "Risk-taking" I think ?
