Metal Dragon Drops?

[sessie]

Never ever kill monsters without a ring of wealth and dont come up with this bull about: but i killed 1 dragon without row and ive found teh dragon legs!!11one, cause that is not how maths work.

 

 

 

Lets say that iron dragons legs have 1 out of 10^9 dropchance and lets say you kill exact that amount of dragons without row:1-(1-1/512)^512 = 63% chance of getting legs, which is less that two thirds

 

 

 

Now you wear ring of wealth which lets say add 20% chance of getting those rare items: 512*0.8=410. 1-(1-1/410)^512 = 71%. You just added about 12.5% chance of getting rare items((71-63)/63)

 

 

 

It's still a matter of luck, but its also about perseverance and not complaining ever 10 dragons without rare item drops.

First of all, your giving us random numbers (where the hell'd u get 20% increase?, and all those other numbers for that matter?) with no proof that the ring of wealth even helps anyone at all. Also, I've killed over 500 Steels and Irons, burning about 2mil in runes, and I havn't goten 1 dragon drop yet. A lot of these guys have done even more without a rare drop, so I'm pretty sure we have the right to be mad after waiting forever and spending who knows how much cash just trying to get 1 rare drop.

[sessie]

ive got 5 drag legs and 5 drag skirts from about 5000 iron dragons, it probably your own anoyance and your own lack of patience which result in being mad at nothing

 

 

 

the funny thing about chancecalculation is that its never random and it always gives an good estimate about the real numbers

[ice_mage192]

just a question but didn't someone prove that the ring of wealth only helps on the gem, coin, halfkey, dsheild cycle?

i always seem to do ok over there (just breaking even with free magic xp) :oops:

[drgnslyer_15]

i don't like killin the metal dragons.. I rarely get anything good there... I've gotten 2 pair of legs and a skirt in like 200 irons..

 

If you wanna mage why not just kill greaters in yanille.. You get clues and rune larges so you can make money.. thats where i mage usually

[Pyroton]

lol, you have bad luck, i spent about 200k on chaos runes, and got a rune battle, rune sq, and dragon legs. in about an hours time.

I've been thinking that do u got better chance of getting something good if u are on assigment?

Just finished another trip, killed about 100 of them, and I didn't get a Dragon drop. So that totals 500+ (50/50 Irons and Steels), I guess I'm just not a lucky person :? .

[Liquid_Harem]

Just spent 500k on fires...(25k) and 6k chaos... got nothing good...it happens....

[Rebdragon]

From now on I'm just going to recycle Barrows runes when I go there. It costs too much just buy runes and go, but I really want to get my first Dragon drop 8) .

[Lobby2004]

I went from 85 mage to 96 at steels, lost count on how many drag drops i got. Its all about luck, dont worry about it, you get good drops when you least expect it, just stick with it. :wink:
