Here's the crazy thing my man:

So lets say you really want that item that has that % of chance to drop over that amount of time.

Well, even after 15 hours of camping said item, you still have a 43.4% chance that the item will not have dropped. (.92^10) = .434 & ((10 x 90)/60) = 15

After 30 hours, there is still a 18.8% chance the item will not have dropped.

After 60 hours of poopsocking, there is still a 3.56% chance the item will not drop.

It's this type of analysis that keeps most sane people from trying too hard to compete at the upper levels.
Ya.

The EQ gods smiled at me when I logged in, I was running my wiz to lake rathe to get her bone rod from the skele dudes for her clicky debuff staff...

Low and behold AC was up and roaming, LUCK.

I try not to camp these things, I camped it on my necro cuz I definately wanted to do this for msyelf, and i didnt mind if it took days. Glad I wasn't pvpd out of oot otherwise I may have QQ'd or played an alt.

Again, Luck, who knows. I feel good, and I feel more resilient toward these camps now. I guess my best advice is dont get your heart set... on something in a specific time frame, give it space to come when it comes. Or allow urself to farm the plat for an MQ. Thats what its there for!
