The Horseman's Reins

[jinkobi]

I got 1 yesterday for my alt. My main had got one a few years ago, hoping i can get 2 more for the rest. Heard a rumor that if you hit him before he lands the person who hit him first has higher chance of mount. I'm betting rumor is 100% crap but it would be cool if it isn't.

ROFL...

Yeah and if you rub a kitten on the head, run around SM 5 times, then chant Horseman's reigns you have a higher chance for it to drop.

That's not how the game works. There was a thread many years ago on the Blizz forums discussing such things. You can't up your chances and random is random. Think the blue said everything is determined the moment a mob is spawned.

Grats on the mounts though!

I know it is probably just an effect of random chance but it does seem like the drop rate is higher this year. I used to kill him probably 10 times a day in years past and never saw one drop but this year I have witnessed a bunch of people getting them (including one on one of my alts). Probably just dumb luck this year but who knows ... even a couple percentage point increase in drop rate could have a profound effect.

Way back in my Everquest days, I was really fascinated by a program called ShowEQ (never used it, did not want to risk my accounts being banned).

From screenshots and posts, you would have a window which would show every mob in the zone, their position, health, mana, loot etc.

I also remember a screenshot of Sony having putting in non-interactive mobs, named ShowEQUsersSuck. Pretty funny stuff.



Chances are good, the loot table is set at the time the mob spawns.

I actually used ShowEQ for a few months. Never got banned, but probably got lucky. Unfortunately, you could only see the mob's loot if it was a handheld item. No other loot showed up. But it was useful for hunting rare spawns.

You used it after Sony changed their loot table generations :P Mobs used to spawn with their loot already on them, but after everyone and their mom
started running showEQ they made it so the loot was generated on death.
