TheFray91 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Ok i was ecstatic when i first got 85 slayer, and i headed on over to abbys. 2k kills later, i felt like puking, and just as i was about to give up, lo and behold, my first whip. However, my friend who was also killing them got 8 by the time i got my first 1. Whats the average drop rate, and why is it that i get them extremely slowly? Will i get whips more often in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacoste Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Known people with dry streaks which have lasted over 4k demons, drop rate is what, off teh top of my head, maybe 300-400kills? maybe im wrong, who knows..... btw the fray are awesome =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inuashakent Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Do you wear ring of wealth? If not you may want to start. That makes a what? 5% difference? Not 800%. Your just unlucky.

Italian5kamikaze Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Do you wear ring of wealth? If not you may want to start. Or if you are take it off. To be honest some people are just luckier and you could go 3K demons with one whip then get 4 or 5 the next 3k you kill. Quit. PM me if you play The Conduit to exchange friend codes.

SythenRs Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I don't have 85 Slayer, but I reckon if you just killed Abby demons when you weere assigned to, you wouldn't feel so bad about the drop rate as you wouldn't be there solely for that elusive whip.

Blizaga57 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'd like to believe the drop rate is 1/1000 or less, although it's probably more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumpta Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 As been said time and again, the drop rate has been confirmed by many slayers to be somewhere between 1/400 and 1/500. I've kept track of my kills/whips and I've killed a little over 10k demons for 23 whip drops. All on assignment, but I doubt that makes a difference, aside from a psychological one. You've obviously been having bad luck, but once you start killing more demons, the drops will even out to that rate. Dry streaks happen, but usually don't last.

D Jay99 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 There's a thread in Rate This from Abyssal_Whip, he's got 100 whips drops now and said the droprate was ~1/700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegel Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Using a RoW I average around 1 every 500 kills Have had over 35 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know how you came about a number. The way the ring works gives you a better chance of getting a better rare drop if you get a rare drop. So, every rune chain he got would have had a better chance of being a whip. Theres no percentages here. It could be infinitely helpful. Need assistance in any of these skills?

Berrakus Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Some people have drop luck and some people don't. Or some people seem to have luck with certain drops and not with others. Like you, I started camping at 85. While I was not getting any whips, my friend was getting them all the time. Made me really mad at the time, but it got me back in Slayer instead of camping and now I have 99 Slayer :thumbup:.

brunokiller Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I got 3 whips in 4k kills. Call it bad luck :x two of them were in the same task lol My blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klankaos Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 As Sumpta said, it's confirmed at anywhere between 1/400-1/500. That's been studied SO many times its unbelievable. Kinda sucks that you only got one whip... but hey, I don't even have 85 slayer yet. Count yourself lucky. :lol: Being immature is a part of being mature.

lordkafei Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 They drop for me every 2nd or 3rd assignment - so the 1/500 number seems pretty accurate. Go for the crimson charms, stay for the whips, you'll be less disappointed.
