December 7, 201114 yr This is probably futile but does anyone know a general drop rate for the boots? Rswiki doesn't seem to have any info and people estimated seem to vary pretty wildly. I've almost made two Armadyl staffs without seeing a single boots drop so I've easily killed in excess of 1k of them.
December 7, 201114 yr What I've heard from others and experienced, I think each boot is around 1/1000 (1/1024, would be my guess) The chance of getting a boot drop at all would then of course be three times as high. I wouldn't be too surprised if the average drop was even lower, but a 1500 dry streak (or how many you've killed) wouldn't be that unlikely with these rates.
December 7, 201114 yr Since I started logging them (330~ Kills) I've had 1 Boot drop (Ragefire). However I estimate i killed around 100 before logging and had a pair of glaivens.
December 7, 201114 yr I believe we had a thread a while ago in H&A that estimated it at ~350 kills. I personally have killed around 150 with no boot drop.
December 7, 201114 yr 217 shards, 2 boot drops. They're not common. 99+ all 23rd March 2012 - 2496 total 13th June 2012.9000+ dragon drops! Including draconic visage, d chains, d spears, d2h, d claws, d meds, d legs, d skirts... d bones, d hides :)?I want jagex to put resource dungeons and dungeoneering skill doors to dungeoneering floors so I can dungeon and get dungeoneering xp while I dg so I don't have to dg to get dg exp, but I can dg while I dg :)?
December 7, 201114 yr 26 shards 2 boot drops. Last time we had a topic on this there was 1/400-500? for boots or thereabouts.

December 7, 201114 yr Aren't special drops often dropped in powers of two. (whips are 1/512 for example, which is 1:2^9, and a lot of stuff is 1:2^8) that's why I'm guessing boots are 1:1024 each. They could of course be 1:2048, making the chance of any boot about 1:680 isntead of 1:340.

They could of course be 1:2048, making the chance of any boot about 1:680 isntead of 1:340.If glacors are actually considered a boss, that would be different. Nex drops are around 1/35 (we've been told it is on a rare wheel), corp drops are on a scale of 3's (1/50 ss, 1/150 elixir, 1/450 sigil wheel - 2:1 spec/arc:ely/div), TDs drop claws around 1/175, which isn't anywhere near a power of 2 Also, using a colon is not the same as using a slash. A colon denotes odds (the compared likelihood of event occuring vs not occuring), and a slash denotes the probability. So 2:1 odds are the same as a 2/3 probability. OT: If anybody wants to ask Heur/Ish from XPW, he has killed a few thousand and has good numbers - I just can't pull them off the top of my head.
December 7, 201114 yr I don't think this helps much but I have gotten 2 ragefire boots in approximately 250 kills
December 8, 201114 yr Personally i've killed about 5k Glacors and i've had 4x Glaiven and 5x Steadfast, 2x Ragefire.So that's ~450. I was on a 2.6k drystreak which was broken by 3 Boots drops in under 100 kills (2 of which were about 30 kills apart).
December 8, 201114 yr Someone posted a droplog w/ sample size of 5k kills... Boots were ~1/500 (or 1/512) I'm at 54 shards w/o boots
December 8, 201114 yr Since I've started logging my kills this is the data I've collected. I estimate I killed ~1k before this with 1 ragefire drop, changing the average to ~1/538: Glacors Killed: 1,150/10,000Effigy Drops: 16Effigy Ratio: 1/72Ragefire Drops: 3Glaiven Drops: 0Steadfast Drops: 0Boot Ratio: 1/384Shard Drops: 123Shard Ratio: 1/9.3Elite Clues: 5Blue Charms: 1,464Crimson Charms: 1,248Green Charms: 252Fire Surges Used: 14,994Surges per Glacor: 13.04Trips Made: 36Kills per trip: 32Deaths: 0
December 8, 201114 yr 2932 Glacor kills and 9 pairs of boots - 1/326. 5 Glaivens, 3 Steadfasts, 1 Ragefire.
December 9, 201114 yr I guess drop in game has "memories". based on my experience of hunting effigies, multiple drops usually happened after a long dry, vice versa. well, just a guess. p.s. "multiple drops" refer to the case of extremely lucky, like the guy have 3 boots in 100 kills.

December 9, 201114 yr That's assuming the RNG is truly random. No reason to assume it isn't and every reason to assume it is. Please don't tell me this is amitoz on a new account trying to revive his bogus drops theory...

December 9, 201114 yr Something's wrong, the combined log has less effigies than your own log?

December 9, 201114 yr He mixed up his own and the combined with each other so the 25 should be combined and 9 is what he got. Ratios seem to be correct though.

December 10, 201114 yr http://pastebin.com/KecLBMJX You can use this to log kills. There might be a few typos/missing drops. If you see any, just tell me and I'll fix.
