Commerci Trades droprate

It's just a thought, but I'm not entirely sure that the commerci trades are affected by your drop rate.
I could be on no drop buffs or as high as 7.08x drop and still get about the same rate of items. (During the event I had all droprate effects available and not 1 sweetH20 dropped.) Maybe it really relies soley on random chance?
Each time an item dropped, it only dropped 1 item at a time. No multiples of anything. Which i also found suspicious.
Also, the fact that you only get dropped items after you talk to the NPC when it's over has me thinking that it's on its own separate system.

If this is true, then it would be beneficial to save drop coupons and buffs for something else more lucrative.
But this is all just a theory. I would like to know what you guys think.

Normal mobs are affected, Grosso and Livyatan PROBABLY arn't; given that it seems a dummy drops their items, thus (since you can't actually kill the dummy, since its invisible and invincible) ONLY 2x drop events would affect its drop rate, buffs or cards you possess increasing your drop rate would do nothing since you arn't actually killing the dummy.

Drop rate buffs definitely effect the tradeship, this can be clearly seen with the amount of money you get per run.
As for the bosses, it probably effects them too, but because they only ever drop 1 item and some money, you'll have effectively the same drop rate regardless of drop rate multipliers.

[quote=Wubzey]Well, it certainly seems so with meso bags dropping the same amount of mesos, regardless of drop rate. I still take all my drop buffs, just in case though. Wouldn't want to miss out on anything that I possibly could get.[/quote]

I wish there was a way we could get a direct answer from Nexon concerning it, though. I think it is important. It could help a lot of people to stop wasting unneeded resources.
But if it IS affected by droprate, then I can rest easy.

Hmm. I've heard and seen the opposite. it doesn't look like droprate affects the amount of gold dropped. But I haven't really been paying attention to how much is dropped from each sack. I'll have to see tomorrow when my energy is refilled. hehe

I think you're right. Drop rates might do something to it because when I used them I got an item and mesos and without them I only got mesos most of the time. But the equips themselves might be on it's own system like you said. Kind of a good thing since 2x and 3x events make it so hard not to d/c.

I think that yes, since you get your items from the NPC instead, it may not be affected by drop coupons. Just my thought.
