It lists the drop rate of legendary items as 1/10000 in the code.
But isn't this 1/10000 percent (which would be 0.0001% not 0.01%)

I say this because the rock is listed as 75 for drop rate, which I guess would be 75%.
Where if 1/10000 becomes 0.01% then 75 would become 7500%, which would always give a rock?

Is this correct?

I haven't looked through everything, perhaps the looting code adjusts this somehow.
Thanks

This one is explained somewhere here already. Hard yo find novadays, here are tons of post
Code are alright chance to get RoLS is 1/10000 (0.01%) and for rock 2500 * better

Thanks for the reply Samuel, very informative.

Ok, well after trying for hours and hours and hours to get one these items and going from lvl 20 to 36, I decided to make my tweak the game a bit for me, both to save my sanity and just to see if I could.

Now, I didn't cheat or lower the drop rate or anything, but I did add a farm mode preference in the options.
What it does is drop the respawn rate for unvisited maps from 3 mins to 30 sec, and drops the exp signifigantly (divides earned exp by 50). So I get 2 exp from each gargoyle trainer now.

Frankly, I don't consider it cheating really as it is meant to be a mobile phone game, and if I have to stop for 3 mins every 20 seconds its not really doing my trip to work, or my few mins sitting down any good. And frankly, I also don't want to be lvl 70 by the time I get <insert item here> so I'm not vastly overpowered for any new updates. As it is, the BWM stuff is pretty easy - though the iquan (sp?) still get good criticals.

So I can run around the map still trying to kill them, but I'm not vastly overleveling myself or getting bored out of my mind waiting 3 mins.

So I'm working on my RoLS now.

Good Luck.
However I consider every unofficial change in the game cheating. (as its a singleplayer game this only affects the Highscore topic) What about the official way: Magic Finder.

I can see your point and I'm not concerned with the highscore thing. Is it submitted automatically or manually. If it happens automatically, I would probably revert it, I don't want to taint the tables, but if it's manual, I would rather just enjoy the game on my ride to work, or catching a few mins here and there.

As for the official way, I put some points in it already. My issue wasn't really with the drop rate (I don't really mind the work or effort per se), just that I can't really play it for just a few mins at a time having to stop every 20 secs waiting for respawns; and for a mobile game whose purpose to jump on it when you can, it was getting pointless to fire up, if I would need to close it right away and play another game. And since I felt I needed to penalize myself for upping the respawn rate I lowered the xp gain when that mode was active.

Thanks

Another ring!! Wow. Don't let pryizzle know.

I haven't had a chance to play AT since alpha 3 was released. When I do get a chance, the first thing I try to do is catch up on the forums. I'm sooo far behind, I don't think I will ever get to play again....
