Bug with SRoV

[Void]

I have a bug to report

I can't for certain say that it's a bug or not, but I really hope it is.

I have killed 5500 Plaguestrider masters and recived 6 VSHs. The only problem is that I haven't gotten a single Srov.It's killing me.

Have anyone else managed to get an Srov on 0.71?

I don't think it's a bug....it is just a matter of luck, or bad luck in case. I got one of each on version 0.7.1, but I've seen where many others get multiples of one item, before getting the other.
Gotta keep grinding!

The bug with Srov isn't a bug. It is a game about chance. 1 in 1000 chance does not mean that you get 1 per 1000. It is chance. After killing 1000 you have a 63 percent chance to have gotten it in your 1000 killings.

63 percent is what rjackson said, to be honest I don't know the probabilities.

I doubt it's a bug, but you have been very unlucky. With 5500 kills you have (or had ) a 99.6% chance of getting one.

The 63% figure is correct for 1000 kills.

Very very unlucky...

Try killing more. It will help you in your chances of 1 in 1000.

Ps. I feel VERY bad for you. Empathy.

Thank you for all your kind messages. I am actually happy to know that it's "only" a severe case of bad luck. Was almost ready to give up. But will continue with killing at least 2000 PSMs more before I decide to go on.

Just wanted to know that it's not hopeless. Thanks.

Edit : Killed 100 more PSM. Got my 7th VSH. Still no SRoV.

I tried the method of kill then reload until desired item is dropped, however when killing plaguestrider masters I have noticed that the first plaguestrider master(going to remgard) drops SRoV, the middle drops VSH. About the thrid one(near the plaguestrider master "boss") I don't know since I already acquired the desired item. Then I remember reading in the forum that what if specific monsters drop specific items. That was my observation about the drop. Version 0.7.1.

Happy first post! *airhorn*

There is no difference between the plaguestrider masters. They have the same statistics and drop the same things. The masters dropping differnt things is probably a fluke in your game. It's all chance.
