Title: Looking for feedback on Golden Belt
Post by: Hal900x on 14 January 2018, 02:55:54
With these new recipes, the TQDatabase is still collecting data, so I'm looking for feedback on what act, boss and location for specific items. Right now I've been looking for the Golden Belt recipe. Going by the database the drop rate is quite low, so the more specific the better.

if it helps just so you don't get frustrated.. i just got my 3rd ragnarok recipe.. guess what.. another dvalin's simulacrum C:-)

looking at tq-db.net (https://tq-db.net/category/formula), Jacinto, the Rotten Hyacinth of Thessaly ~ Zombie Hero and Leimon the Vengeful ~ Zombie Hero have the highest drop rates at 0.3326%.. not that i know where they're located.. but welcome to the world of farming

I've had the Golden Belt drop twice. Once for each of my 2 toons that completed Normal difficulty. It dropped in Act 5 for each of them, but, honestly I don't recall exactly where and when.

Yup, Golden Belt should drop in Act5 Normal and Act1 Epic.

Jacinto is inside the tomb near arcadia, and Leimon is in the tomb near Athens

Yeah, I saw on TQDatabase that the two zombie heroes have a whopping 1 in 300 chance to drop it...whoopee! Please kill me now. Anyway, combining that with Malgardian's statement leads me to believe my best chance would be zombie heroes in Act 1 epic. I farmed the snot out of Act 1 normal final boss all last week, and now I have dozens of recipes. It's just that they are all the same recipes I already had [rolleyes]

LOL I feel your pain. Really I do. I have so many copies of Singastein and Seidr Bones that I can get every completion bonus.

PS: All the artifact recipes I have looked at on TQDatabase have those zombie heroes at highest drop rate. I suspect it's incorrect.

The author of TQDatabase already clearified that currently the drop rate is for SINGLE item drop. But apparently boss chests drop a lot of items, maybe 10-20. So the actual drop rate is much higher than the current numbers on the website.

Not quite sure what "for single drop" means in this context, can you clarify or link the post? thanks.

Here's the quote from author. You can find these on the main page of TQDatabase.

*A note on Loot Tables
The percentages might seem very low. I will expand on the information and functionality in the future. For now it will help to know that for chest loot, the chance listed is the chance of any ONE item that falls out, to be the item that is listed. Obviously boss chests drop a lot more than just one item. These numbers will still give you a good indication of what boss has the highest chance to give you the item you're looking for!

Ok, I see. But not really relevant for me, since recipes almost never drop from chests compared to boss or mob drops.
