Has anyone had Bracer of the Hidden drop for them this week?

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.

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

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"

seems you are right, my friend just had one drop [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

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.
