Effect on Drop Rates
Could someone make that section a little less personal sounding? I thought wikis weren't supposed to be anecdotal. (Also: Wow! 27 mobs and no drop? That is surely statistical proof!) Unless the matter has been deeply tested by a single individual, the section should only list the superstition, not recount the exploits of one single player's experience during a single farming run. I've had items with 1% drop rate drop on watersday without TH after farming for it for six hours. Does this mean that I get to post that and imply that watersday is definitively better for drops? --IneptOne 15:16, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Moved the "Effects on Drop Rates" Section from the main article to the discussion page; Personal Anecdotes with statistically insignificant data sets don't belong in articles, with or without verification tags. Once conclusive (or at least statistically relevant) evidence is presented, it can be moved back. --Jcarlson08 22:43, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Effects on Drop Rates
- Note:This has been tested, but its impossible to completely prove true.
It is rumored that the elemental day of the week can affect the rate at which items drop from KO'd mobs. There has been a little suspicion about watersday being the worst day to expect an item to drop after a fight. It has also been proven in my personal experience, that just like the rumor says, watersday item drops are very stingy. It is very possible however, that different mobs/items are more affected by different days of the week in varied amounts. I'm still currently in speculation over watersday because I was farming for 2~+ hours (earthsday - watersday) and i was getting a very acceptable amount of drops on earthsday (about 1/6) and the drop rate was supposed to be 20%~ without treasure hunter. I however, HAD treasure hunter, and once the day switched to watersday, all the sudden all drops ceased to exist. I had farmed through all of watersday the whole time, and killed over 27 mobs and not a single one of them dropped my item.
