Myself and a friend have been farming the Sarnak fort on Red99 for 6 straight days now and no bracer has dropped, a friend on blue told me he has farmed for the last 4 days with no luck. Me and my Red99 friend think the drop is bugged, has ANYONE had a Bracer drop in the last 5-6 days? I understand red and blue servers drops or whatever its called are not sync'd and I never understood this coding stuff anyways but I farmed this enough I am 100% sure 2 people farming all week going 6 days without a drop is not correct. We think the drop for this is bugged.

Just curious because I am sick of farming this silly bracer and if it's actually BUGGED, I am done wasting time till it get fixed.

Just curious guys and gals.

I got one the Wednesday or Thursday after double XP weekend ended while I was there to get a prod on blue. What was that 2 weeks ago?

It is extremely rare. It's within reason that you could farm a week and not see it. I level all my characters there from 22-29ish and I've never once seen it while XPing. Never seen an Earring of Station either.

It's not bugged. It's just an incredibly small chance of dropping and if you get on the wrong side of the random number generator you can easily go days without seeing one.

I've done it multiple times and it just sounds like you got the wrong side of the random number generator the last few days. Definitely not broken; your story sounds normal for it's rarity.


I farmed the bracer a few different times while I was getting 2 sarnak earrings of station to drop, which was equally bad if not worse.

Its wierd cause I had 2 drop in an hour and I have farmed like 34 of these so Im pretty hip on the drop rate and this just seems wrong, its NEVER been like this before

Red might have a higher drop rate. Or RNG just hates you on blue. Bracers as I understand them to be on blue are very very very rare.

Guildy got one a day or two ago. Sounds like bad luck.

I'm not sure you can classify this as BAD luck, 6 days? It's NEVER been like this lol. I dunno, maybe but it just seems bugged, like I said 30+ I have farmed and not once has it been like this, 6 days??????

You shoulda seen Lineage 2 item drop rates. Something like .0025% chance for a full item drop.

what exactly is the random number generator? I mean does it reset when I log off and back on or does it remain consistant? I dont understand

Doesn't matter. Even if it's as high as a 1% drop rate, you could kill 10,000 and not see a drop. I don't farm bracers because it's a waste of time.

I spent two weeks trying to farm this with zero luck then had two drop within an hour of each other.

There's a million of them and they are all terrible. I don't know about any "classic" ones, however. If you do find one that doesn't awful please let me know. Game was so much fun beta to C2.

I was getting a PL on blue and saw one drop... I figured that was the one time ill ever see it on an npc corpse again, even though now its a vital item on red where I spend mosta my days.

eq is a cruel mistress.

.99^10000 ~= 10^-44. Pretty damn unlikely to not see it after 10k kills

You have a 99% chance of not getting one on any given kill (at a 1% made up rate). Odds don't improve with number killed.

This is true however when you look at 10,000 kills as a whole the chance of not getting on at 1% per kill is low.

i spent too much time farming this item because every time I got one I would sell it then regret it when I had to farm one that I actually had to use that I would just end up selling but I finally broke the cycle.

99.99% of the time you try and camp something that is 1/10000, you are going to have a bad time.

report this to the bug forum if you think something is wrong.

But he flipped a coin 10 times and got 8 heads, that means flipping a coin has an 80% chance of coming up heads and it's broken if that doesn't happen!

I'm pretty sure ^ equation you posted means, "if an item has a 99% drop rate, the probability of getting the item 10,000 times in a row is ~10^-44"
