Today's runs were with Greed Pendant and a 2x drop coupon (Use-type, not CS-type). The one in the 11/1 Monster Purge Box.
Results: 86, 84, 81, 76, 91, 88, 95, 78, 88, 79
Average = 84.6
This suggests that the Greed Pendant is again overridden by the other drop buff.
Glad to hear your lag is cured
I think the drop rate of equips is too low for the results to have much meaning. Sometimes I get two equips, sometimes 15, on the same drop multiplier. There's no harm in keeping track, but I doubt it'll help us any.
Data I would like you to gather, if you would (this is by priority, so stop whenever you've had enough DI for one day):
1) For your main: A set of 10 runs with all your gear and no spider. This should help confirm what we saw with Straatlamp, which looks like Greed pendant doesn't count among other equips with drop rate potential.
2) 10 runs with no pendant or spider. We actually have very few "clean" runs that we've deduced the base drop rate from.
3) 10 runs with Greed pendant alone. We need confirmation that the Greed pendant works at all, when it's by itself.
4) 10 runs with Spider alone. My Pig results look more like 1.5x than 1.6x, although they're not definitive. More data will help.
5) 10 runs with both Pendant and Spider. The more data for this configuration, the better, especially as this is a very popular setup among maplers.
For runs without Spider, try not to have the spider out even before going to DI (or relog once you're there). It seems to have lingering effects.
Are any of your mules of a class that has a drop-increasing skill (HS, Showdown, or Kanna's Monkey Spirit), or (far shot) has drop rate Inner Ability? If so, please test that skill by itself (no pendant or spider).
Thanks so much for helping!

Would it be helpful if I got on my mules with pets, and greed+spider to test this at DI further?
Testing for the amount of equips dropped also sounds like a good idea.
