Manastone Drop Rate

[Swyftfingers]

What is the actual drop rate for manastone? Any official word, evidence? Is it all just made up?

When i was camping jboots i was threatening to hang the dwarf from the meat hooks like his brothers in the other torture chambers.

All I'm seeing is that the drop rate was eventually lowered to about 2-3%, but this is speculative and a topic of much controversy, at least back in 2000.

[Pyrocat]

5% or less

[Wallicker]

Suuper rare but every 35+ cleric/Druid/wizard/mage you see has one

[douglas1999]

Lol if you want a manastone to use and not sell.

The drop rates for the legacy items are worse than they should be. The guise is a common drop and yet dirks drop like candy... It's not just RNG being bad, drop rates obviously were tampered with.

There's been one jboots drop over the past 15 hours.

This.

We're getting 1 manastone every 20 hours here on teal - These drop rates are much closer to post-nerf drop rates than classic drop rates.

[Swyftfingers]

We have to show evidence of a more common drop rate, but is there evidence of the current drop rate? Or is the current drop rate just conjecture?

Thanks Swish, this gif is my new favorite thing.

How do we know it's classic? What evidence is there for the current drop rate? Is there any? Or did the devs just make up whatever % they deemed appropriate?

I think they look at a couple of factors. Best estimate of classic drop rates with available info and how will the drop rate affect the way the game is played?

Along with the fact Green was split into two servers that will eventually remerge, with the camp on 24/7 farm across both of them.

None of the legacy items are classic drop rates. Jboots has gotten as bad as manastone. Only one that drops semi regular is guise

[unleashedd]

after server split, the drop rate halved. duh

[Roth]

"Classic"... as in leave in anything that makes the experience worse for the player, and nerf anything that could remotely make the game any easier

[Fammaden]

I approve.

I'm just here waiting for the guy complaining about his casino ban.

Im not that high lvl yet is it really that common to see people with manastone? Imo it should be very rare drop, its a good item and one of those things you rarely saw on live.

I will admit this made me laugh. Including the last option. I think it's pretty spot on in demonstrating the manastone drop rate.

It's beyond rare...Bad enough it's a 28 min spawn timer. The fact that it's likely 5% or less drop rate is terrible. People are camping it for 50-60 hours on average to get 1 stone...Any more rare and it wouldn't drop at all!

they have obviously been tuned to be way larger time sinks than they where regularly. That i am sure of. lol. 22 hours to get jboots, 12 earings, naw. fucked up thing is all the people that got to it first i wonder if it wasnt gimped before that, because there are a ton of manastones on alts and now they don't drop hardly.

this is purely speculative about manastones but i can confirm jboots and guise 100% not classic, getting 2 TBB's before a single guise is LOL, getting 3 dirks before a guise is LOL. getting 12 earings before jboots is LOL.

I hope the staff is snortling cause i would be.
