looks like no DAR

The only advantage a botter has over you is that they can kill faster and without paying attention. The probability of the recipe dropping for them is the same as it is for you.

Except, you know, that I can't fight 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Oh, and you know, I also can't vac all the items to myself or monsters to myself. Oh, and also, you know, that I can't hit every monster on the map all at once. Oh, and additionally, you know, that I can't farm several channels all at the same time. But yeah, small difference between me and a botter, quite so. I think the problem is that you're a bishop, and you were used to being basically god at skeles. Alas, that is not what this game still is. Sorry, you're living in the past.

The only 140 recipes are for capes and the ring, I've seen quite a few pieces of armor in the FM in Culverin, but no weapons. They probably are dropped by Cygnus, the weapons I mean.

You're talking about the instructors right? They drop capes and the ring? From GMS experience, the instructors don't drop anything. We in Contagious suspect that instructors start dropping some recipes after Jump.

A rare drop is a sweet prize.

Not....really. Then botters are primarily the ones that get it, legits.....no. Legits train where good exp is. How many legits do you know that train where bad exp is to get a good drop? I don't know any. Not one. Everyone I know buys anything they need in the fm, like mastery books or gear or whatever.
