    I've seen that the drop rates on this server are increased, and while the full exact experience rates are written out in the main site, I can't find the exact drop rate increases anywhere. Some people say 2x, some people say 10x.

    I know that there aren't exact drop rates for items in diablo 2, but you can calculate that Andariel has a chance of (i dont remember, and dropcalc doesnt work atm) 1:500 to quest drop a Gheed's at 500mf. While ALL the bosses will drop a Gheed's when they drop a grand charm (unless it's been dropped in the game before).

    What is the probability increase that a high-rune will drop from normal monsters? In blizzlike, you can see a lot of el, eld, tir, nef runes. But here they rarely drop, to the point where they're more rare than, let's say, fal runes in Hell.

    What is the probability increase that a monster will drop a unique? What is the probability increase that a boss will drop a unique? Are bosses like Travincal council increased even more than others?

    What is the chance for a no drop? Same as blizzlike or less?

    Thanks

    All runes fall in a balanced order, the most frequent finds drop out at certain locations: hcs (it's the same Diablo star) tower (kill the boss in 5 location) pit, travi, tron and hbr etc. In that case, the chance of a rune falling It is the middle and the higher that is. This applies to Nm or Hell (Hardcore).

    I understand where drops are frequent and how to farm. I've played enough. But I'm asking for some numbers relating to how better the drops are compared to blizzlike, thanks.

    In what order this system works, I do not know. The points are reported directly in the game, within the limits of the shares. I think in the market it's possible.

    I mean that the fallout of runes is not significant, runes fall out accidentally in a balanced manner.
    No matter in what sizes 2x or 10x.

    No such thing as exact drop rates, just play the game and see it for yourself.

    Majority of drop locations are blizzlike but due to many different factors you'll notice they drop a lot more often here compared to bnet. The only noticeable change you'll see right away when farming bosses is that they have a guaranteed drop (100%) of unique items so the unique rates are maxed but so the other items qualities too, however `unique` quality has priority over the other item qualities therefore some of the basic random stats unique items have become starter items. You will still need time and luck to grind for perfect uniques and this also makes the other items to be more tradeable and less useless than they used to be on the regular servers.

    So basically, the drop rates are increased not because of a deliberate increase, but as a side effect of xp increase or something?
    That's why you cant tell exact numbers?

    Drop rates in here are increased as compared to original diablo 2 lod or bnet whatever u may call it.
    the bosses unique and rare drop only feature added in here is not available on original d2 lod or orginial bnet.
    When i kill hell cows normal one they have rare chance to have no drop.

    Couse numbers make you able to apply math. It is crucial for perfect builds to calculate. If you just run around and kill stuff thats fine but there is no reason to dodge questions if there is a well defined one. According to gix " they have a guaranteed drop (100%) of unique items so the unique rates are maxed" -this makes certain items dropp more, however gix told before that there are no numerical changes it feeles like monsters dropp in constant p8 setting considering the amont of items on ground. Also it worths to mention monster TC is blizzike.

    Hehe, sometimes I treat my games like forex
    Exactly, I am sometimes a math junkie and it brings me enjoyment to apply efficiency strategies to games
