Silly loot drop rumors

[gingeeann]

A guildmate told me that if a basic member is in the crew, the chance of a loot skull chest drop decreases. I think drops are totally random. Membership has nothing to do with it. The search for famed weapons and the sword of El Patron has given birth to a large number of silly rumors.

Use only sword and low level skills.
Do not use voodoo.
Use bladestorm followed by vipers nest.
Use a low level skill to finish the target.
A large crew is best.
Working alone is best.

I find this latest one about basic members influencing drop rates elitist and offensive.

Have you come across an absurd rumor?

Wow, I'd not heard most of those! How funny!

I did have someone tell me that you MUST look for ships higher than level 25 for any chance of a skull chest. I wish they'd been in my crew the other day because I got a skull chest from a Corvette while questing. LOL.

whats really nasty is when they announce they are tping off ship because there are 'noobs' present...that behaviour is more noobish I think..

I've heard almost all of your rumors and:

-stay afk on back beach by darkhrt for 24 hrs and then fight
-use daggers only
-Founders get 'special' loot so be sure you crew with one...lol
-only use a crew of four unlimited members
-don't use lost relics/famed ones to get the el patron

and more...but it gives me a headache to think bout it...lols

WoW, hadnt heard that one, I'll have to kick those guys out next time (HA HA just playing) that is about the worst one I've heard. I heard that if you move around him while you attack it helps, lol. Yes trying to put sense into random acts.

I think some of these rumours are based on the belief (or fact) that killing an enemy with high powerful skills or in minimum time, gives you less rep. I'm not sure if it's true, but I do remember once using explosive on a Death Omen to get 79 rep, and then killing it slowly with Round shot which gave me 100 rep. Not sure.

The famed use alt+F4 is fun to get rid of noobs who friends you and think you will actually be their friend. I friend them, tell them to do that, and then take them off my friends list.

[Charles Darkwolf]

I believe if you go around in a circle 3 times, then slap yourself no more than 2 times, stand on your head, then eat no more than 1 pound of dirt... then you have an excellent shot of getting El Patron!!!

P.S.

If anyone believes that, I have some excellent ocean front property in Nebraska I'd love to sell you!

Wouldn't it be easier and more civil to just push the "No" button?

The most common silly Relic rumor I hear is "The higher the enemy, the higher the loot." Most of my best stuff has come off of mid-level bad guys...Some of those other rumors are pretty funny. AFK for 24 hours. LOL.

[Dog Firestack]

I've heard that you have to get 600 rep from an enem yto get it. This is just FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE. can't believe how people would make all this stuff up. Some dude said you had to kill it with taunt, kill it with ONLY curse and shackles and it was must made up. Do'nt believe them mate, just don't.

[Nate Swordwalker]

Now, if any of you believe that stuff, ah... Well... Nevermind... BUT, this is all absurd. A player is a player no matter what their membership access is. ( get it? )

All this time I thought Darkhart was singing people to sleep, guess I was wrong.

[seafox]

...rofl....I liked it myself...more loot for me

[Crestshot]

I'm way too tempted to make a whole list of fakes and go around spouting them now....these are hilarious! Honestly, it's like that one "if you say banana really slow it sounds like gullible." ooh, actually, that's a good one. Tell someone to type gullible by filling up the chat box with one letter at a time and your loot chances increase. Huh....

[angel 4ever]
