Change to RoG drop rate? - Phoenix Freeshard

I just had a mind to start a druid and now I am Lvl 4 and I didnt have a single piece of armor dropped and I still use my training sword.

This is bad. Obviously.

On all my previous chars I had no issue getting gear early on. Have you changed anything?

edit: Im Lvl5 now, Ive got a pair of leather boots, thats it. I dont even have enough silver to buy a weapon at level. Man, this is bad, this is a really bad gaming experience.

I started a Zerker recently and had a similar issue.

Very few drops other than a few sellable items but no armor or weapons until almost lvl 5 and it took like 3-4 more lvls before I got my second weapon for my LA but by that time my primary was green.

Look out for crafters. I bet there are a couple of friendly crafters in Jord and Aegir (or your respective main crafting areas) which are willing to support you in lower levels. Just ask around.

Played 2 casters to 6 back to back (just toying around with them). One was overencumbered from all the armor pieces all the time while the other one had to ding 6 in order to finally find a 6th armor piece (chest) while all other slots were covered in grey/green stuff because nothing else/new dropped.

Keep the R in mind! It doesn't just mean that the stats are random but also on the chance to actually drop at all is random aswell.

The thing that changed is the exp rate via the mob type bonus, especially in starter zones that contain "rare" mob types you're basically leveling too fast even for the (still) increased drop rate you have until level 10.
