drop rate is random, maybe what you get is. What I concluded in all my hours playing playing my main character and the time I spent re-rolling and leveling like 7 other different chars from around 10-20 ...lol is that there's definitely some kind of ratio of drops thats unique to each character.


Jabbers (lvl 80) : only found 2 sos , each about 30 lvls apart, never really got alot of drops anyway.


TEAM_JOYMAX (lvl 20)
: found 2 sos within like 10 minutes of one another at lvl 7. Also seemed to get a much higher frequency of drops compared to the other newbs I started.

other characters (lvls 10+): average drops I guess, probably similar to what jabbers would have gotten at low level, but I didn't keep track of that. No SOS either. sorry I didn't write all this shit down and make a spreadsheet, maybe i should have

So I dunno about you ..I'm convinced that not all characters are equal in terms of luck. Once you roll your character, that drop ratio for him/her stays the same, it's just the numbers that get bigger throughout the game.

My advice to new players is to make several different characters when you start out, than level each one to lvl 10 or so. Keep track of all the loot you get for each one of them and figure out if one of them happens to be getting a much higher average amount of drops than the others, than just stick with that character till 80. It's easy to level to 10 in a couple hours, and this could be an easier way to preview how your characters fortunes will play out in the game.


maybe some people will try this I hope so it will save them some frustration and having to cry on forums about never finding SOS!!

I think there is a Sos drop every 30 seconds. But not on the same spot but spreaded over the server

it's all pretty random...however, all my pure int nukers have gotten more normal & sox drops then pure str chars

so then the logic would be...KILL FASTER/MORE THE HIGHER YOUR CHANCES OF DROPS, THE END...
