[X] My Assistant

so i've upgraded scavenger 10 times and im not finding items any more than before or is it just me?

also a few days ago i found 5 artifacts in less than 5 hours with nothing in archaeologist i put 3 points in it now and cant seem to find any.

I was wondering if difficult settings changed drop rates drastically?

any tips?

Drop rates are still random, so luck plays a big role. Difficulty is only supposed to affect the quality of items dropped.

Yeah a couple days is not a sufficient sample size to compare a 10% difference in drop rates.

,,also a few days ago i found 5 artifacts in less than 5 hours with nothing in archaeologist''

its not a big thing,it all dependes how much you play in that 5 hours,i had like a week without no artifact,played the same 2 lvls a day,now yesterday and today i got 5 artifact with only 2 on artifact,scavenger works beter now at 10 that you get a lot more potions what do you expect items ? you need to upgrade items drop rate,and play hard fight not averge,with averege you get avrege,its most random,but with full for sure your items will drop a lot more

I found four artifacts in one IW once, and have had several days go by without finding any. Don't let a little bad luck fool you.

I'v never been lucky... 30 levels, 2 artifacts...

I'v never been lucky... 30 levels, 2 artifacts...

it depends on what dificukty you played,you gain more xp and less fights on a higer lvl dificulty

I wonder what exactly we're hoping to learn from all of this imformation...

Awesome, isnt it

Why in the hell did you revive this 2 month dead thread?

Because three pieces of equipment in one fight is too epic to not share. Don't you know anything?

You should post things like this in the memorable combat events thread or the equipment thread. Also, congrats.

No. Not at all. Not at all at all.
