HQ king triggers

[Sureal]

tell you what, i will leave this thread and never come back, IF, you start a new thread, asking for drop rates obtained by players, and nothing more, update the op to the thread with the numbers when someone adds to it, then, when you get enough numbers overall, and can show the difference between mobs, THEN come back complaining about it

hell, i will even like your posts if you do this

The consensus is that the pops for HQ kings off NQ kings is 5% .
And it's complete BS that the drop rate is this low, the drop rate should be much higher.

Friend of mine went 1/17 off fafnir one day.
Personally I'm 0/12 on faf and 0/8 on behemoth. And with all my kills, all damage comes from THFs, TH is always above 10.

People are going to go on BG, and read about how people have had horrible drop rates on the HQ. People are going to come on these forums, and read about how people have had horrible drop rates on the HQ. Theyre going to go on ffxiah forums and find the same results. They'll go on Zam..and wont find anything. Theyre going to read all this, and then go "do I really want to waste my KS99 knowing I have almost no chance at getting a kings pop?" I can tell you right now, I'm not wasting my last 500 seals.

Nynja, with the drop rates like this. What would you say is a fair price for a themis orb?
If I don't get egg on my single orb I will have to buy.

i just had a thought, you said "im not wasting my last 500 seals"

lol,what the hell else are you gonna do with them, oh thats right, ksnm99's

so basically what your saying is that you are mad that now, instead of fighting JUST the ksnm99 mob, you also get to fight a guaranteed fafnir, AND maybe a nidhogg

i seriously fail to see how this is a problem

He's gonna save them for if SE ups the drop rate on nid/kb pop item. As am I.

My answer is pretty much identical to this.

KS99 fight? WOWWWWWW, do you know what I've done with my drops so far? With the exception of the Behemoth Hide, Shining Cloth and items I cant sell to NPC, everything has gone to NPC, or put on AH cause I had space and its worth an extra 1-2k more on AH. You're not going to make money off KS99's now, not even the elusive Speed Belt is worth anything, except MAYBE to pld's and drks. But getting one of those is like getting a Kraken Club...raaare.

So if the drop rate doesnt get adjusted, I'll do like I was doing with them before: keep them stored on Shami. Its not like I stored up 1200 KS for 5 years going "I have faith that SE's going to change kings into pop NM's". KS30's stopped being worth my time cause market changed, I stopped doing em. KS99's arent worth my time because the ultimate goal has a non-existant drop rate, I wont do em. Its not even like the gear kings drop (with the exception of D.Ring, and thats rare as F) is groundsbreaking anymore. Theres NO reason for the HQ pop items to have such a garbage drop rate!

@Bumbeen
I'm not good at gauging prices ,but heres what I can tell you
1/3 Beard (Beard dropped on second)
1/8 Egg
1/5 Tongue

[MarkovChain]

Me and mdk went 1/1 on both beard and pop (wyrm > fafnir > nidhogg). Also ITT, BG idiots doing statistics with 20 sample size.

ITT someone going 1/1 on a drop citing it as anything but luck and calling people with a sample size of 189 "idiots"
