Well... I hate them. I don't see a point anymore in saying "they have good drops." THEY WILL NEVER GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT! Especially the ever so coveted chaos scroll. I've heard stories of people grinding for days just to get one. I thought "Hey! that doesn't seem like a bad idea!" (this was before they all crashed in price) 4 hours a day for 3 days and not one... I didn't get hardly anything! Am I just unlucky?

Chaos scrolls deflated so much, it's not worth hunting for right now xd. You'd make more money killing Leprechauns o.o

I've been there for a week, 2x dropping half the time, for 3 hours a day without finding one... But, I've found one, just randomly training at DBs so it's alright. :3

12 hours on 1x isnt even CLOSE to the amount of time you will need. Try 100 hours on 1x is enough or so.. I think that LEPRECHONS ARE BETTER ON 1x, considering that you might get stelies, ether shields, and other stuff, as well as a guaranteed 1mill per hour of pure mesos plus another million in the charms (sell for 50k each). You are not high enough level to be hunting efficiently at drummer bunnys. Not untill your get the hermit mob attack anyway. I could easily kill 3x as many bunnies an hour as you could with a 1hk0 arrow eruption. You would be better off at leprechons, even before the DEFLATION.

Try bossing for you chaos scrolls, because Area Bosses give some other good scrolls as well other than Chaos Scrolls. I made 20mil off Gloves for ATT scrolls while hunting Seruf.

drop rates are supposed to be rare like this. if drop rates were higher we might see a major deflation in prices of many items. this might not directly harm the economy however, it would effect us in the long run in-turn in the future major inflation of items way beyond their regular prices perhaps. there is a reason why drop rates are so low like that. Nexon wants to have a stable economy and not seeing one person get like 100 chaos scrolls in a week at drumming bunnies or zombie shrooms.

drops rates should just be permanently increased. So for those (majority) that don't merch and play the game and train, can have a bigger better hope earn money while still playing and not wasting time in the FM

I just found one killing seruf. I don't think there is anything wrong with the current drop rate...or maybe I'm just more lucky than most people. Though I did get a chaos scroll before a monster card at ginseng jars, what the heck?

really if u think about it, this is just an example, Wolf spiders: drop illbies. i dont know the exact drop rate but, lets say u have to kill 1000 of them to get 1 illbie drop. Thats a pretty good drop rate for them. However, i was at wolf spiders for a short time and i probably has killed just over say 2000 and not one illbie drop. Then again while i was at gallos i had gotten 2 GFA 60% scrolls within 2 weeks. thats pretty decent. you just have to be patient. Patience is the key if your rare item hunting.
