Drop Guide

Drop Rate Penalty

When killing monsters lower level than you, drop rates are reduced based on level difference. This penalty does not apply to mobs higher level than you.

Yellow(Level diff ≤ 3)
No penalty
Green(Level diff ≤ 8)
-10%
Blue(Level diff ≤ 14)
-25%
Light Blue(Level diff ≤ 21)
-50%
Gray(Level diff > 21)
-75%

A simple rule: Until the monster is not Green, your drop penalty is 0%. Green mobs = 10% penalty.
