Insanely low red drop rate on sacrifice.

[CastleGuy]

I noticed sacrifice has a low red drop rate and I decided to see how bad it actually was by doing what any logical person would do: a multi hour afk fest. I've gotten one red over the past 3 hours. Greens seem to have like a 1/3-1/5 droprate. Which seems like a lot to me.

From the wiki:

• Drop rates for item rarity are: 63% common, 27% uncommon, 0.9% legendary, 9% equipment
  
• Drop chance is based on the exp earned from killing the monster, (see the Drop Chance section)
  
• Drop chance is not affected by 57 Leaf Clover
  
• Killed players also have a chance to drop items
  
• Likewise drones may drop items, and the Engineer's turrets can drop items when moved or destroyed
  
• Chests such as the Legendary Chest on Abyssal Depths and the Chests on Gilded Coast do still spawn with this Artifact active.

So the main difference is that the drop chance of red is always 0,9% (I assume it doesn't matter if the mob is normal, elite or a boss), while large chests have 20% chance of dropping a red item. Even considering "amount of enemies dropping items" vs "amount of large chest in the stage", the 0,9% make red barely drop (from my own experience)
Also note that since the drop chance for each enemy is tied to the exp they give, using Sacrifice+Swarm would cut your drop chances by half (since each mob with Swarm only gives half exp)

Last game I played I got 4 reds in the first 3 stages... Lucky I guess.

You are bad, just git gud.
There are like 2 stages that give you guarantee red item(Abyssal Depth, Siren Call). The void also offer you one time red item.
Or you know, just visit Blue portal that exist on every stage.(Insert 999999 Lunar coins txt joke here)
If you are playing "Sacrifice", you should have plenty of items to exchange in the Blue portal shop.
I play for 2 hrs and the amount of red items I get is close to 50.
Sacrifice has low Red drop items due to it being too powerful for items drop fest. If it get any higher, I can imagine my run hoarding over 50 red items with ease.

"You are bad, just git gud."
Ok thanks for the advice, but what was the point of typing that.

The guy who post this topic need to git gud but you sir, need a brain.
The guy who made this post either has no idea about how to play the game or he is stupid. I assumed the first and tell him to "Git gud". Why else would anyone state an obvious fact with no follow up?
Like, ye, Red Items drop rate are rare... And?

Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is bad. Some runs get several reds kind of quickly and some runs, your first red is from legendary chest and you don't see your second until nearly the first celestial portal. But usually, you can get a drop before the chest and another after. Three is my low for first loop while using sacrifice. Average about five.
