monster drops

Post by PK17 »

I dont know if this has been answerd elsewhere but as i was grinding for my elyr and second rols i began to think. When you kill a monster it could have a drop, or not. Is the drop determined when the monster spawns or is it determined when you kill the monster? It kills me when im leaving a room as the monster spawns, and i have to go back to get him just in case he was the one who had the drop im looking for.

Each mob has a droplist and what actually drops out of the list is determined on kill.

best possible answer, right?

:D

that means even if you die fighting,
the drop isn't lost...

and, even if a bag drops during battle,
it will be there upon your return...

it's one small comfort in what may end up being a long grind.

Exactly the answer i was looking for thanks dude.

Also i got my first rols at 155 rocks and my elyr at 249 wp, both of which were a good deal under so im expecting a long grind for second rols, 1700 rocks and counting

Almost all of my RoLS were dropped right when I flipped on my screen - not after waiting for respawns...

I suggest the reload tactic, clear all the mobs & if it didn't drop = reload.

Make sure to save when all possible mobs have spawned & you will kill more enemies in 3 minutes.

Thus having higher odds of finding the rare drop.

What do you mean by "flipped" like u turned your phone to landscape or you just turned it on.

Also ive thought about the save and reload teqnique, i feel like i still could use the xp, although i have way more money than i need. Ive done everything in the game besides the rare/legenderys, but im getting ready for the next update, well whenever it may come. So im building my guy up...

getting my dude bulky
