Drop Rates

In short: exactly what falls, how often, and from what — every rate on this page is read out of the live server rather than written down by hand.

Nothing here is a guess: each number is queried from the running game's own tables or computed with the very formula the server uses, so a retune moves this page with it.

Several different things can fall from ONE kill, and they are rolled separately — the monster's own loot, the rare stream, and a piece of gear are three independent rolls.

1. What the monster itself carries

Silver, and its own potion. Almost every monster in the world drops silver (60-100% of kills, the amount scaling with its level) and a healing or mana potion of the tier that suits its level (4-6%). Nothing about this depends on where you stand — a monster carries what its own kind carries, on any map.

A short list of monsters carries something you actually want. This is all of them:

2. The rare stream — every monster, everywhere

Meteors and DragonBalls can drop from anything you kill. There is no special monster and no special map for them: one roll per kill, at most one of the two drops, and the chance rises in a straight line with the monster's level. A level-110 monster is twice as likely to pay as a level-55 one.

A DragonBall is 32 times rarer than a Meteor, on every map and at every level — the two bands scale together, so the ratio never changes. Where you find one you will have found about a dozen of the other.

Lucky Time adds a little on top -- and it is the only way to a +N stone. While your blessing is draining, every kill rolls the stream a second time at 3% strength, so the columns above are worth 1.03 times as much: a pinch, not a different game. What a blessing really buys is section 4 -- the PlusStones fall from no monster at all unless your Lucky Time is running.

The one exception is the Meteor Zone. It is named after them for a reason: the whole rare stream there is 50% richer than its monsters' levels alone would give.

The gold: SuperMeteor and SuperDragonBall. The rarest things in the game fall from the same kills, on their own roll: at the level-55 anchor a SuperMeteor once in 200,000 kills and a SuperDragonBall once in 400,000, scaling with monster level like the rest (Bird Island about once in 119,565 and 239,130). No blessing, boost or event multiplies them. Each OPENS A SOCKET, always, in the Artisan Wind window: put the item in with a SuperMeteor and it gets its FIRST socket; with a SuperDragonBall its SECOND (the first must be there). No roll, no change to level or quality -- and the whole realm is told when one falls, and when one is spent.

3. Gear

About 10% of kills drop a piece of equipment (at most 2 from one monster), and its level is drawn around the monster's own, so better monsters drop better gear. Most of it is ordinary. When a piece does drop, its quality is rolled:

Counted in monsters rather than in drops -- which is how it feels while you are hunting:

These odds are the same everywhere. A monster's level decides what TIER of item drops, never its quality -- so hunting higher ground earns you a better Elite, not a likelier one. An Elite is a long evening's find and a Super is a story; if a session gives you neither, that is the ordinary way of it, not bad luck worth reporting.

A good drop tells you. When a monster you slew drops an Elite or Super piece, any gear with an open socket or already at +1, a +N stone or a DragonBall, a line appears in the middle of your screen and a gold copy lands in your chat log -- so a Super blade lying among ten plain ones is never overlooked. Ordinary loot stays quiet.

Sockets

A dropped weapon can come with empty sockets already in it -- which matters, because opening the first one otherwise costs twelve DragonBalls at the Weapon Smith. One socket is rare, two is a story to tell. Nothing else falls socketed: armour, helmets, necklaces, rings, boots and shields drop with no socket, ever -- theirs are drilled at BlacksmithLee.

At the endgame a socketed weapon is worth a long night of hunting and a two-socket weapon a few weeks of them.

Gear that falls already at +1

A dropped piece can arrive already enhanced to +1 — any slot, weapons included, all at the same rate. There is nothing to do to it: pick it up and it is +1.

Like everything else here the chance rises with the monster's level, so the enhanced pieces come from the ground you can barely hold — not from the easiest thing you can farm.

4. Lucky Time — the only source of +N stones in the field

While your Lucky Time is running, every kill rolls the rare stream in section 2 a second time at 3% strength — a blessing is worth 1.03 times the ordinary Meteor and DragonBall rate, an extra, not a booster. The part that matters: that second roll is the only one in the game that can drop a PlusStone. Without a blessing no monster carries one, on any map. Only the +1 and +2 stones fall today — the +3 and +4 have been taken out of the field for now, and the way to a high +N is the compose window, fed by these and by gear that falls already at +1. It follows the same rule as everything else here — the chance rises with the monster's level — so a blessing spent on the strongest thing you can kill is worth many times the same blessing spent on the weakest.

If you need +N, the compose window is the road: two equal stones raise a piece one rung, and the lottery sells +1/+2 stones for anyone who would rather not wait on a blessing.

A message names the item when it lands, because it falls among the ordinary loot where you would never spot it otherwise.

5. Mining

Gems do not drop from monsters at all — they are mined. Equip a PickAxe, stand in the Mine Cave and swing; the server rolls once every few seconds for as long as you keep at it. Each swing rolls one item from the rules of that mine:

The seven quest gems are what the CelestialStone needs, and at those odds collecting all seven is a long job by design. The ores are the bulk that pays for the trip — and EuxeniteOre is what your level-40 promotion costs.

Why your ore says "Rate 7"

Iron, copper, silver and gold each come in ten grades, and the grade is rolled fresh for every lump you dig. Each grade is half as likely as the one below it, and a high-grade lump sells for many times a low one — so the ore that pays for the evening is the rare lump, not the pile:

EuxeniteOre has no grades — it is the same lump every time, because it is a promotion ingredient rather than something you sell.

6. The two world bosses

Ganoderma and Titan are the only monsters in the game with GUARANTEED valuable loot, and the server announces both when they rise and when they fall. They come back about an hour after they are killed — an hour after they fall, not after they appeared, so camping the spot is the whole trick. See world bosses for where they stand.

Ganoderma

Titan

Everything in section 2 rolls on a boss as well, and their level makes those odds the best in their zone — so the Meteor above is the floor, not the ceiling.

7. What a fallen player leaves behind

Dying to anything — a monster or another player — scatters 10% of the silver you carry and 1 to 5 items out of your bag on the ground around your body. Worn equipment is safe, and so is anything bound. The pieces land on separate cells so nothing is hidden under anything else, and they are free for anyone to pick up — a corpse is not owned the way a monster's loot is.

A red or black name pays more. A player carrying PK points also drops one worn piece — the risk that makes the PK system cost something. Keep valuables in the warehouse before a fight you might lose.

Two floors take nothing. In the arena a death costs nothing at all, and in the prison no item is dropped either — those are the places to settle something without risking gear.

What is not a drop at all

• MoonBox — the reward of the Eight-Diagram Tactics quest.
• CelestialStone — refined by Celestine from seven gems and a CleanWater.
• +3 and +4 PlusStones — out of the field for now, at any blessing.
• Sockets on anything but a weapon — armour, helmets, necklaces, rings, boots and shields never fall socketed; theirs are drilled at BlacksmithLee.
• Anything from a guard, a training dummy, a companion pet or an event creature — they carry nothing, by design. A stake that dropped loot would be an endless farm.
• +N PlusStones without a blessing — the lottery sells +1/+2; in the field they fall only while Lucky Time runs (section 4).
• +10, +11 and +12 — bought from the Cloud Saint on the Market; no monster carries them.
