    The drop rate is the limiter for how fast a player can acquire items for free in the game. If the drop rate is 10%, then 10 out of 100 attacks could potentially net an item; the player might get lucky and have more of the attacks net an item, but out of the next 100 attacks get fewer than 10 items (due simply to random chance) thus resulting in a net rate of 10%. Some players will simply get luckier than others over the short term and get a seemingly better drop rate while over the longer term get the same drop rate.

    If you finish some or all of the achievements dealing with drop rates, you will get a better drop rate
    Still no item drops from valleys, and I'm talking about HUNDREDS of valley attacks, this is statistically impossible unless there is some sort of bug on server NA12 with item drops. I have talked with some alliance members that say they were getting items dropping at a reasonable rate from valleys in the first 2 days the server was active, and then haven't seen any more since. Just so there is no confusion, by items I mean anything other than medals, they just don't drop anymore, don't know anyone on NA12 in the last day or so who has gotten one single item from a valley. A few have gotten some from NPCs, but not valleys. Looks like they nerfed the item/medal drop rates like I feared they would. Now our hopes of farming material, gems/armor scripts to level up the hero gear are pretty much gone.

    I don't see a problem with items not dropping from valleys as often if at all since they are so easily spam attacked, and it should make sense that Evony is tweaking drop rates right now.
    But....the eternal ray of sunshine REALLY wanted to see you, so I helped brighten your day by removing the city from around you! ^.^
