    I’m curious if it’s ever been confirmed that mage ultimates have a lower drop rate for certain items.
    I’ve been trying to farm pieces of time on my mage with a friend playing his DK.
    Despite killing 3-4x the mobs As him, I only found 2 pieces across 6 hours while he found 15.
    This is not a complaint, I’m just wondering if I’m wasting my time trying to do this with a mage? This spread seems too wide to be a coincidence and I have other characters I could use if it made more sense.

    If your DK friend is finding 2/3 pieces per hour then I think he's very very lucky.

    I thought so too... but it’s pretty consistently 1-3 per hour across a long sample size

    I can't find the post, but it has at least been confirmed that different skill types have different drop rates.

    And I think if the above is true, you can easily infer that mage ultimates would have the lowest skill drop rates. Good luck!

    What’s definitely confirmed is that single target skills have a higher droprate than multi target skills. Beyond that is anyone’s trial and error and guessing.

    I've gone about 10+ hours on my mage and can 1 hit on green and red, and only have 4 PoT... i've heard that the mage drop rate nerf doesn't affect etc's but that might be false.

    Also can anyone confirm whether oblivion monk trainee drops PoT? it's not listed. I definitely spent a good 5 hours here and didn't notice this exclusion.

    Even if mage's droprates are nerfed here, it shouldn't be that much lower...

    Just wanna say that there's never been any official confirmation about our drop rates :p everything has generally been guesses by players~

    From player testing there's a well-evidenced and widely held belief that event currencies have varying drop rates related to different skills and/or classes. That's about the extent to which people have understood drops.

    How that relates to other drops is still a mystery among the player base, and I don't believe there's any information regarding the subject confirmed by staff. It's still something I've personally noticed is untested, which seems to be the answer to all of these threads. If there's a connection between event rates and normal drop rates it hasn't been properly tested by anyone, which leads to mostly hearsay, and most of staff are unwilling to share what they know.(Which I agree with, I'd rather not have players concerned with drops when making their class choices, it shoehorns in more metas)
