Can someone please explain drop potential please

[fireside8]

For instance if I hunt flesh crawlers in SOS and I fight them with 100k in my inventory, I will get more ranarr drops?

 

Or what,

 

What is the cutoff and how much wealth do I need to risk and does it only work on dragons and such.

[fireside8]

Oh yeah and do coins count or does it have to be money in items?

Just edit your first post, you don't need to make another one.

 

 

 

OT: I was unaware that it worked with monsters too, I thought it was just other players?

Your welcome!

drop potential has to do with pvp. If you have +25k (f2p) or +75k (p2p) then your drop potential will increase every half hour in a hot zone; outside of a safe zone. It has nothing to do with monsters and their drops.

Thx yeah I heard of this before and Im curious how to maximize my potential.

 

I think it may only work in the wilderness. ANy info?

[fireside8]

DOes drop potential only work if the player actually has any good items.. right?

Does not work with monsters.

Well since we're on the subject I can confirm ring of wealth works in the SOS verse flesh crawlers.

 

I get 5-6 ranarrs to the 1-2 w/o it. GL Pays for itself

Drop potential is a term most often used in PvP not in PvM.

Drop potential does nothing if the other guy only wears 3 items and has crap food, right? I mean big deal,

 

Pking for money is hardly a common payoff

The answer to your question can be found here.

It does something if the guy loses at least 25k.

If you are risking 75k outside of a safezone in p2p (25k in f2p), a timer starts for raising drop potential. It goes by minutes (so if you are out of safezone for 40 seconds, it doesn't count). The actual potential does not raise until you have gained 30 minutes of hotzone on that timer (it apparently also works for non-hotzone, 1 hour at a time, but I'm not sure)

 

 

 

Say you're pking and you have mid potential, but 20 minutes built up in a hotzone. You won't lose any of that 20 minutes that you built up, so don't worry about that.

 

 

 

Once you hit 30 minutes of buildup, it is applied to your potential and the timer is reset to 0.

 

 

 

Also, when you die, the more you die for, the more it raises your potential as compensation.

 

 

 

Getting a ton of potential won't affect your drops, just the number of kills you can get with higher drops.

 

 

 

There IS more to it... but I really can't be bothered to explain cause I don't have the time. I'll have to write a text file up to copy-paste for these questions, lol. actually I'm working on something for things all about pvp worlds... so yeah...
