Default worst luck ever?! gatorscale leggings

I'm sure there are many other worst luck situations. Ive been camping the ancient for the leggings for days now and currently have 8 gatorscale sleeves and 0 leggings. I have read that this is a 50/50 drop rate. What are the odds of flipping a coin and getting tails 8 times in a row?

You're missing a variable.

Quote:
Pink Tail is an ultra rare drop from the Flan Princess, found in the Lunar Subterrane in a very specific room. Pink Tail has a 1/64 (1.56%) chance of dropping from the Flan Princess that has a 1/64 chance of appearing. Pink Tail is a required item to get the Adamant Armor, the strongest armor.

Sometimes I get semi burnt out and camp stuff in EQ while playing other console games
And once I rode the AC camp to level 43(or 42, its been years) from 35

I had 4 full 8 slot bags full of sleeves before a single leg
other times i had healthy 25/75 splits
and one golden boy character had a 50/50 split

while the wiki is nice for most things it cannot factor in the Gamblers Fallacy

It's possible the wiki is just wrong about the drop rate on this camp too

All this nah-nah statistics mean that what should be common could also be rare shit is dumb. Yeah everyone learns that in 8th grade, that doesn't mean statistical oddities are never noteworthy

The wiki's %'s here are obviously wrong, the context is more important here in that it notes the sleeves are "(Common)" and the legs are "(Rare)", legs are definitely the more rare item, probably 80/20 drop rates.

I'd assume most drops are like that.

However, I apologize. I cleared that camp, let it repop, ancient croc spawned, dropped gatorscale leggings first kill, only hung out for like 18 minutes.

On the flip side, I was camping the ass / sup room for almost 3 hours and never saw the assassin or the supplier during that time. Not a ton of spawns on a 28 minute timer but still, damn.

Hunted ancient croc on live with druid. Got multiple sleeves. Gave up and created a wizard.

the drop rate is NOT 50 50, the sleeves are common, the leggings are rare

I have accumulated about 3 - 10 slot bags full of mithril legs and have deleted 4 or 5 Razing Swords. Zero mithril arms.

The % chance between arms and legs is almost identical.

The arms are definitely dropping as they should. Your luck sounds quite bad!
