    Default Item drops PvP, MS etc...

    As the title says, how to get decent item drops.

    Code:
    I'll keep it short and simple, hopefully people will try it out and get back on their results. It s been a somewhat known fact and I won't be surprised if evony changes drop rates/formulas because of this but this will help honest players that don't/can't hit NPCs like clockwork.
    How do you get a better drop rate from PvP warfare.

    We have all seen hundreds and thousands of PvP battles pass with no return but honour, exp and res in some cases. But then there are all these fantastic ones on the forums and on our WR that have tons of item drops... How do some people get luckier!?

    Well, here is the badly kept secret, as far as my research shows, item drops are somehow linked to what the loser of the battle had in their inventory.

    I don't think medals drop that way, but MS, HW, HH, Teles etc do.

    Basically, pizz off a coiner and get a battle out of them, preferably a defence that you will win. there is going to be a chance that they keep lots of MS, teleports etc to port around and to remodel their res fields etc. Pick up that info from whether they port around, if they have lv10 fields in development, if they holiday a bit.. stuff like that. Won't work if they don't actually 'spend' the cents.

    The same applies to Mega Farmers. They get item drops just because of the sheer volume of farming they do. If they hit you and lose a battle, that has a pretty good chance of getting you items. Also works when attacking people and winning against them. But only the attack that finally kills their troops and wins.

    So, in summary:

    1. Keep an eye out for porters, these guys are usually packing at least a few extra, defend well and win
    2. Invade the BIG NPC farms if you have the troops to do it, make them attack you, if their farming was any good you are going to reap the benefits
    3. If you have neighbours that holiday all the time, because they are too rich! Well, provoke them
    4. Attack Mega Farmers with timed SB and Attack/Plunder waves, clear out their walls and hope for an item drop if they let you win those...


    All in all, worth a try if you are like me and hate to work hard for those items and don't drop a truckload of cash on the game. Keeps things in balance too.

    I'm happy to share some love in light of getting some back all the time, and a lot recently. Apologies to any I've confunded or confused in recent posts/articles, I like my fun

    Another option is to get everyone in your allaince with decent inventories to do small attacks constantly on you eventually you will get items

    Interesting idea. Have you tested this out at all? If so, can we see some examples?

    Heres the original 'item farming guide' by the great jaq:

    http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=85890

    Now I dont know if this was disproved on newer servers/ super servers or not, I know that he had a lot of success with it. PM me PF and maybe we can come up with something, I have a couple theroies regarding item drops but more research is required. I know that they arent random though, a game this math heavy cannot have 'random drops'

    Me and another person in my alliance were actually gonna start doing tests on this early next week lol. Without the glitch only fun crap to do on this game for nonspenders with big heros/armies is find ways to manipulate it in your advantage since you cant keep up with botters anymore

    EDIT: Nice to see that u finally got Duke PF

    I had a silly silly gurl try to attack me recently, and I know she spends because she goes on holiday every now and then for rl things. hehe.. I had few archers but a full wall at the time (in a 1 city acct) and got a timed rein to crush the attack.... Luckily for me, she was too dumb to follow what happened and sent more 10k - 20k cav waves! Got MS for sure, not sure if anything else dropped.

    I've know this forever and it has worked at least always since the beginning of s93, where I started, just that I got reminded recently. Nobody really attacked me much while I was on my original acct, now that I stepped down to a little one I get these again

    hehe.. thats a sweet link Lucas and many thanks go out to people who have been showing support for duke etc... I was honoured by the meaningful reps, I won't name in case I miss someone out but you know who you are.

    I'm building back to dump back some honour and see if she gets pizzed off enough to strike back for more pwnage we'll see how it goes. Might even try n see if we can validate any of the math in that other thread. dam evony fudged all the pre-server migration reports, we'll have to use new ones or trawl evonyurl...
