Well, epic bosses are something that exist in all MMOs I believe. But certainly, GM events are a lot less common I think. Anyway, in this short video, you see some of the Darkfall epic bosses, like the fire dragon:

Yea, spawn the strongest boss monster in the middle of a town in another game and you get 10000 people rushing it for lols. Spawn corp in the middle of varrock and you get 10000 people on the forums whining about how they are going to quit. Well, in Darkfall Online where that video is taken from, you lose all your inventory when you die, so... And why would runescape people go whine on the forum really?

This would be the kind of events where GMs (Game Masters) take control of several monsters to attack cities. Those monsters would drop awesome loot of course! Events, just like those one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dd4TcOdO5A&hd=1 http://www.own3d.tv/video/44773/Undead_Raid I think this would be just great! What do you think?

This was meant to be a general discussion, but was wrongly moved to this forum.

All right, 6 days later..... I think I am starting to get an idea of how to get corrupt stuff now. Anyone else willing to share their story here? Thanks in advance.

All right.... Given that I have not been able to get a corrupt thingy on my lvl 70 pker, I have decided to create a new one. Pure Str, level 37 right now. I am training woodcutting in Varrock with 25k in my invent for a while, several hours for sure. And then this guy comes and try to kill me with mage! And suddenly, just after the beginning of the fight, the guy drops ! And look at what I got : Wooooot !! :thumbsup:

Skiro, Those are really interesting details! Anybody else ever got a corrupt drop? if so, where? what was wearing the victim? Thanks

Skiro, Thanks a lot for sharing your own experience with much details. I understand you got corrupted pieces with your 2 pkers. Do you remember if that was on some special cir[bleep]ances? Thanks again

Lydiian, I have read the official website article: http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarti ... id=815#faq But although the general rules are discribed, it is less than precise to me. For example, in my experimentation, I have never been able to get more than 2 rune items, even by killing people with full rune on. What is your best drop in f2p? And what is everyone best drop in f2p? and in which conditions you got it?

Totalpwnage, It seems you know quite a lot about drop potential. Have you done some experimentation yourselves? I have been trying to do some in f2p for a couple of weeks: See: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=777500 But still cannot be sure of what are all the parameters to take into account? My end goal would be to know what would help getting a Corrupt piece drop in f2p for example. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

So, I made the test today as you can see added to the log. Basically 3 hours training in a hot spot zone, and I got a little better drop in my next kill, but not really anything outstanding.... Anyone has any idea if there is some other factors I am missing?

Ferveo, thanks for the details. Well, as you see above, I am almost at 40 kills and no corrupt stuff only basic rune weapon or armor, or some druidic or combat robes... Again, I think I am going to try with like 3 or 4 hours training in the next couple of days.

Ferveo, congrats on the drop ! Could you please confirm this was on a f2p world? I guess it was but just to be sure. And what was that guy wearing? Also, how long have you been training without killing anyone before that kill? I think I will try to make a new test where I would be training for at least 3 hours in hotspot, and then kill full rune. I will let you know in a couple of days.

So, really noone has an idea of how works the drop mechanism on PvP worlds?

Actually, I have one question: Does anyone know if the drops are somewhat linked to what the guy you killed was wearing or not at all? Meaning it is enough that the guy had 25k+ worth of items dropped, and you can get anything from a random drop list.

Sorry, should that be moved to a more appropriate forum then?

This topic is to try to understand how PvP worlds drop works. It looks like when you train, you raise your drop potential. When you get a kill, you get something ramdom but linked with the level of your drop potential I think. But how it is linked? Is it linked also with what the victim is wearing when dying? To try to find out, I am recording below all my training / kills: Note1: the names of the avatars killed are blurred on purpose Note2: Most of the kills were full rune or full addy with rune weapon. Note3: They have all been killed around lumbridge with magic (level 82) 18-dec, hot spot 30min, Range 1 to 20 18-dec-08,w21, As???68,rune battleaxe, druidic top, amulet of power 18-dec-08,w21, Da???ro,adamant chainmail, adamant mace, amulet of magic 18-dec, hot spot 1h, Range 20 to 27 18-dec-08,w80, DB???am, rune mace, adamant platebody, adamant fullhelm, 328 steel arrows, amulet of strenght 18-dec-08,w21, Le???ke, rune scimitar, adamant platebody 18-dec-08,w31, Fi???un, rubbish 18-dec, hot spot 30min, Range 27 to 30 19-dec, w21, Da???ge, rune full helm, green d'hide chaps, mithril battleaxe, mithril longsword, amulet of defense 19-dec, hot spot 1h, Range 30 to 34 19-dec, w21, Na???66, Rune scimitar, rune full helm, green d'hide coif 0, adamant dagger, 39 adamant arrows, amulet of power 19-dec, hot spot 30min, range 34 to 36 19-dec, w123, Dj???ie, Rune 2hander, rune chainbody, amulet of strength 28-dec, w21, Co???en, Druidic mage top 0, amulet of power, 30 nature runes 28-dec, hot spot 45min, range 36 to 39 29-dec, w123, Am???r5, Rune berseker shield 0, rune warhammer, amulet of strength, 200 fire runes 29-dec, w123, Ar???100, Rune scimitar, rune pickaxe, adamant kiteshield, amulet of power 29-dec, w123, Ju???ue, adamant pickaxe, mithril pickaxe, amulet of power 29-dec, hot spot 1h15min, range 39 to 42 29-dec, w80, Nh???37, rune battleaxe, rune full helm, rune legs, rune [bleep]eshield 0 29-dec, w80, Ci???24, adamant chainmail, amulet of power 29-dec, hot spot 30min, range 42 to 43 29-dec, w80, Mo???15, Rune 2hander sword, adamant full helm, worn-out adamant gauntlet 30-dec, w80, Tu???ta (< 25k ?), amulet of power 31-dec, w80, Af???ar, (< 25k ?), apple pies 1-jan, w80, De???05, combat robe top 0, adamant 2h sword, Adamant sq shield, Adamant full helm 2-jan, hot spot 1h15min, range 43 to 45 2-jan, w123, Bo???63 ( < 25k ), rubbish 2-jan, w32, xxxse???maxx, rune warhammer, rune full helm, worn-out adamant gauntlets, 34 adamant arrows 2-jan, w80, 666is???is666, rubbish 3-jan, hot spot 30min, range 45 to 46 3-jan, w32, Sm???11, rune warhammer,druidic mage hood 0, amulet of strength 3-jan, w123, Za???in, rune sword, Adamant legs, amulet of strength 3-jan, w32, Su???862, rubbish 3-jan, hot spot 30min, range 46 to 47 3-jan, w80, he???lu7 (wearing full rune but no kill message) bones 3-jan, w80, ju???ba102, Rune berseker shield 0, rune longsword, amulet of strenght 3-jan, w80, si???a37, worn-out steel gauntlets 3-jan, w80, ki???er08, worn-out mithril gauntlets, adamant dagger, amulet of defense 3-jan, hot spot 30min, range 47 to 48 4-jan, w21, Pu???na, rune full helm, amulet of strength 4-jan, w80, De???ra99, adamant kite shield, amulet of strength 4-jan, w80, Pl???um338, mithril chainmail, trouts 4-jan, hot spot 45min, range 48 to 49 4-jan, w80, lu???um5, Rune 2hander, Rune kite shield, Rune sword, amulet of strength 5-jan, hot spot, 45min, range 49 to 50 5-jan, w80, vi???an2, Rune battleaxe, rune axe, adamant full helm, amulet of strenght 5-jan, hot spot, 45min, range 50 to 51 5-jan, w80, Jo???2915, Rune [bleep]eshield 0, rune pickaxe, mithril axe, amulet of power 5-jan, hot spot, 45min, range 51 to 52 5-jan, w80, To???m258, Rune chainmail, amulet of strength 6-jan, hot spot, 1h, range 52 to 53 6-jan, w80, Wh???io4, Rune warhammer, Rune full helm, adamant worn-out gauntlets 6-jan, w80, St???er (wearing full rune), adamant shield, some half pizza 8-jan, hot spot, 3h, range 53 to 56 8-jan, w123, Ed???xx, (lvl 58 wearing full rune skulled), Rune kiteshield, rune scimmy, mithril squareshield, 38 chaos, amulet of strength 8-jan, w32, Dj???p1 (protected weapon, so < 25k), vial, bones, TO BE CONTINUED
