I have 9 pieces of 20% drop gear ready to use (40% greed pendant) along with a wolf underling.
I think it's best to do all 10 runs of the day with the same configuration. From what I've seen, changing your drop gear seems to have strange lingering effects that may or may not get lost in the noise (variance).
Two things I would like you to test:
- All your gear, no wolf. This will hopefully be able to tell us whether the drop buff is additive or multiplicative, because with 9 pieces it would be 280% drop if additive, and 516% if multiplicative. That's a big enough difference that even with the noise we should be able to see the pattern.
- Just the wolf. We "know" it's 2x drop but unless someone can show official notice from Nexon to that effect, it needs verification.
After we get that, and if the quills are still dropping, I'll want to see:
- All the gear and the wolf. This should tell us whether drop buffs from different sources add or multiply.
So, for today, please do 10 DIPQ runs with all your drop gear but no wolf, and of course make sure to loot all philosoquill pens that drop. (Most tricky part is sweeping the bottom at the end of stage 3, before going up top. If you wait until after the gargoyles, the drops will expire). Count how many dropped in each run.
And, Thank you
