[Item]Deathcharger's Reins Drop Rate #6181

Closed ircfelix closed 5 years ago

ircfelix commented 5 years ago

Description: Drop rate is currently at 0.01%.

Current behaviour: Drop rate is currently at 0.01%.

Expected behaviour: Drop rate should be 1%, according to this comment on https://de.classic.wowhead.com/item=13335/z%C3%BCgel-des-todesstreitrosses#english-comments :

Von Tyrsenus (94,098 – 41·141·333) am 2007.05.18 (Patch 2.0.12) The drop rate is now 1.0% (up from 0.02%) (source). I will leave the rest of this comment for nostalgic purposes.

Server Revision: 3093

WowWiki says "Patch 3.0.2 (14-Oct-2008): Drop rate increased from 0.02% to 1%." https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/Deathcharger%27s_Reins Also from that source link in the wowhead comment: While random is indeed random, the chance of Deathchanger's Reins dropping was increased with 3.0.2. This is the second time the drop rate has been increased, from the rather crazy 1 in 5000 WAY back in the day to the 1 in 100 it is now. https://web.archive.org/web/20081217122736/http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=11675537865&sid=1&pageNo=5

Oh, well that's something solid. Even with a blue post! Still strange that the 1% comment I found is dated back to 2007.05.18 (Patch 2.0.12). Maybe his "WAY back in the day" refers to early vanilla and drop rate was buffed later-on and buffed again with 3.0.2? Also "This is the second time the drop rate has been increased" clearly implies that it should neither be 0.02% nor 0.01%.

I've also found a comment stating that the drop rate is 2 in 500, so 0.4%.

500 is not enough to test 0.4% drop rate

it will be 0.02% in rev 3103
