Not A Bug Cora Drops

[Periphery209]

Hi There,

So i will be the first to admit that this is POSSIBLY, but low probability, simply RNG.
I have killed Cora over 10 times in the past 2 days and haven't received a single artifact drop.
This was done on 3 characters, Cora should be a 33% so i should have received SOMETHING by now.

Again, could be poor RNG but please take a look at the Cora code to verify.

Thanks!

            base.OnDeath(c);

            if (0.30 > Utility.RandomDouble())

Looks good to me. In the future include source links for stuff like this.

Dan,

The only interesting part to me is IN RED below. I'm not sure if this is correct?


ublic override void OnDeath(Container c) { base.OnDeath(c); if (0.30 > Utility.RandomDouble()) { Mobile m = DemonKnight.FindRandomPlayer(this); if (m != null) { Item artifact = VoidPoolRewards.DropRandomArtifact(); if (artifact != null) { Container pack = m.Backpack; if (pack == null || !pack.TryDropItem(m, artifact, false)) m.BankBox.DropItem(artifact); m.SendLocalizedMessage(1062317); // For your valor in combating the fallen beast, a special artifact has been bestowed on you.

It is, all it is doing is telling the code to look at how the demonknight awards artifacts, and do the same. This way you are not coding the same drop method twice.

It translates to " if .30, award Cora artifacts by placing in bag like the dark father would."

I’ve gotten lots of rewards form her in the past, I’ll tart farming her again nd see what happens

Thanks Goob! That's kind of how i felt. I've gotten tons previously but decided i needed another shield so started farming again recently and ZERO DROPS after approx 20 kills with 3 chars each kill. If this is just poor RNG, i think i'll stay away from Vegas...

Hehe, I live near Vegas tho!
I need another shield so I’ll go down there more

Can confirm was just terrible RNG. Just got a drop...

Yeah, need to keep in mind that yes 30% translates to 30 out of 100. It also translates to 30,000 out of 100,000 and so on and so forth. That means that with RNG you could go hundreds of kills without a drop, though rare, in theory.
