not YWC but Im finding the drop rate of SLT from VLT at it's lowest drop ever personally.
I prob get about 6-8 VLT a day by buying and swapping lootspots and the ratio of them dropping has seriously declined IMO
Maybe it's just luck, but i also been noticing a decline since the event maybe even a bit earlier...
I dont think they changed anything,- and I think we have lots of similar treads about this.
Just luck.
I've had LOADS of SOLTs drop form VLTs I've been on.
Everytime someoen psots about how "X drop rate is nerfed" it's because they had good luck for a time or bad luck streak, over time it evens out.
12 woodys here 6 in the 4 weeks of the event, 6 since iirc.

Got 4 of them in one day few days back. Couldn't believe it
must be a dry spell then will keep at it
Yes, drop rate is worse now and you notice it just bc no event time now. For every Event we have more active players and many of them do use Crytals to get what they need, from Excelsior and trading, much more players do adventuring and playing lot more, so total needs od all Worlds are bigger then. Players activity can not compare with nothing in this game, so this game have "protective" mode active now, which provide economical balance :
- total active players,
- total ingame Crystal amount,
- total number of all and specific FT adventures,
- completed FT adventures per 1 day etc...
This system is disgned to protect inactivity pushing us to the specific tasks we need to perform in next time period. There is type of players whos plays only for and at the Event time. Also, there is same/similar type of the players who keeps the addys locked in their Star, so BB let us get more thru our explorers. Also, there is a lot players who took many Gold Coins and they "stash" them, locked, so price increasement is obvious, they must be flushed into the game. Imagine you get 100 Young Wood Cutters ? What would you do with them, as you obviously can not play them all in reasonable time, so you would sell them on TO ... at the end, most of the people would do trading, less playing them. Imagine player have or own too many SLT adventures, price would go down and nobody would play CLT/VLT. I have 3 Princess in my Star, last 10 of my FT adventures I got 0 follow up addys, do not mention ls-swap etc. Also own some of Ventures, so, until I finish and play what I have now, my "luck" will be "bad". At the end, the One gc stock holder or any type of the saver or call them as you wish, cost from 10 to 100 or more players with "bad" luck.

Usually I get 1-2 per search & I send out 10 Scouts/Explorers (+5 with chance for double-adventure).
I have about 50 stacked up, so can't complain.
lots of players now doing woodcutter ,, which means less of them to buy on t/o

YWC should be in the merchant as the explorer drop rate is too low

It'll be in the Guild Merchant soon --- for a measly 3500 guild coins.
That should help.

That will not help me... I can buy 10 ywc with my guild coins, play all them in 2 days and then what ? :D
we need YWC for MF in mercant, so we can play as many YWC as we can with our army & resources and not be restricted by a low player number on the server... ( unsense prices for adv etc)
I would like to see ywc in adv shop for mf, 2-3k mf maybe, u get so many from failed adv searches too.
Very long searches
Random
not much to say beyond that. I find enough. You just need to keep searching.

Yes, and expected it, after all people voted for ywc to be in guild shop so bb will reduce the search drop rate, always happens when a high end adv goes in guild shop.
3500 guild coins is insane though that is a month of guild quests or more for some to get 1 wood cutter adventure.
I wish they would just do reasonable prices so people would actually spend resources on them.
Only madmen will buy for 3500 guild coins, but many people would buy for say.. 350.
0 x 3500 < 100-1000+ * 350 .. but for guild shop items that logic seems to escape them. Making prices reasonable and market conforming would allow BB to drain resources out of the economy much faster while giving decent bang-for-buck to players.

I love people that forget where they come from ... '10 explorers' ... 'measly 3500 guild coins' ... just lol ... scnr ... I do not complain, simply because its useless, but with 4 luckys, 1 intrepid and 3 normal, sent in very long searches only, I only got 3, maybe 4, WC in 2 weeks. Sure, it could be just bad luck but... well... better not to comment.
They should do maintenance more often, got 4 WC from 7 explorers that came back during maint :). More than I have had all year.
so this game have "protective" mode active now, which provide economical balance :

How do you know this system has been put in place by BB?
There is type of players whos plays only for and at the Event time. Also, there is same/similar type of the players who keeps the addys locked in their Star, so BB let us get more thru our explorers.
Again... you know this how?
Also, there is a lot players who took many Gold Coins and they "stash" them, locked, so price increasement is obvious, they must be flushed into the game.
That's player choice. BB don't set TO prices, and the "fixed" costs like building upgrades haven't increased with the hugely increased amount of gold coins in the game.
I have 3 Princess in my Star, last 10 of my FT adventures I got 0 follow up addys, do not mention ls-swap etc. Also own some of Ventures, so, until I finish and play what I have now, my "luck" will be "bad". At the end, the One gc stock holder or any type of the saver or call them as you wish, cost from 10 to 100 or more players with "bad" luck.
I think you may be attributing cause and effect where there is none :)
Fine here, got 7 in one night this week...
yes, and expected it, after all people voted for ywc to be in guild shop so bb will reduce the search drop rate, always happens when a high end adv goes in guild shop.
rubbish
Rubbish yes indeed, the drop rates are as they've always been to my experience.
On ABtywc that is.

WOW, aren't you that Heroic Little Tailor? Oh, wait... no, you're not - that one doesn't drop WC :p.
I very much doubt that anyone would mess around with the drop rates because of the guild market but, considering WC the entry point in the Arabian Nights adventures and the time it takes to complete, maybe those drop rates could be revised or maybe WC can be added into the shop for fragments... Anyhow, have you seen the TO prices lately? They seem to be in a constant rise... but then old players don't really care, do they?
BLT and HLT both have a very tiny chance of dropping ABtywc, I know I have at least once from each of those too.

rubbish
Nice positive adult reply to see a viewpoint described as rubbish.
I keep a record of all the returns from my explorers. For the period since I could send for YWC until the new guild shop was announced I managed to obtain between 3 and 5 ywc a day. Since the announcement that has fallen to between 1 and 2 a day with most being 1 a day. That being based on 21 explorers sent out constantly, so yeah I am clearly talking rubbish.
I do sometimes wonder if some of the respondents are BB employees tasked with making all seem well in the game.
Well said loocan. It is the instant personal attacks, simply calling an input 'rubbish' etc that keeps the majority of us from making any comments on the forum at all. Dorotheus calls you original comment ''rubbish'' but based on what evidence? Others could merely reply that he/she is talking nonsense too but that gets no-one anywhere. So how about people trying to use the forum for what it should be rather than just chucking insults at others?

Oh and what about the other hundred or more times the random factor in game worked in your favor each day ?

doro is obv correct. your sample is just way too low for any sort of conclusion. specially on something as thin as loot drop change.
there was a famous quote about taking every opinion that opposes yours as a personal insult or smth that im too lazy to look up..
