Is it just me or is the base drop rate (with x2 from event) is still so bad?????? I am a new player and I cannot afford all the relics/gears and epithets that make the drop rate go crazy high. I am just trying to farm some seeds and pots but I rarely get any...
Have you joined a band? Bands have band buff that increases drop rate by at most 100%. That's cheapest way to increase your drop rate.
Drop rate sucks indeed. At high levels it is almost impossible to pots. Takes 30-40 secs to kill a mob and with this drop rate you are lucky if you get a single pot in 60 minutes.
