when it says bonus of +50% drop rate, does that mean.

Do I get 1.5 times more drops

A 50% better chance to get better drops

what exactly does it mean.

If I get one will I be able to complete the mud quest 1.5 times faster?

I've heard that it doesn't work all that well...

I remember that there was a complain that people arent getting much more drops using a HWR, and the GM said "well if you're not meant to get the drops, 0% x 50% is still 0.

Which sounds kinda stupid to me... but then again, I do question how much detail a GM would know regarding a CS item like that...

I think its 1.5x the drop rate
but I've heard that HWR isn't working correctly
people have said that theyre not getting the full +50% drop rate

Not worth it. I've used 1 hour ones from PVP KQ but I wouldn't pay for one.

I've noticed that they seem to be more useful on chief mobs like Queen Spiders instead of Queen Spiders since those things have a higher drop rate to begin with.

I　ｔｈｉｎｋ　ｉｔ　ｉｓ　1.5x the drop rate you'd normally get.

So yes, 1.5x0=0.

Yeah don't get it. Used it once before but I don't feel much difference. Plus I dunno if it works with quest items..

I used it when I was doing the L27 or so quest from Healer Avon to gather herbs in exchange for the Elderine scrolls and it seemed to make a little difference, but I can't say that I ever realized much of a boost in regards to mob drops with it on.

Well I needed safety hats from skeldetal miners,and a fighter had HWR, it made the item drop about 90% of the time. Without HWR I was getting a way lower drop rate.

Seems to help with really annoying quests like Mud, Lizard Knight, Gold Bat hairs, but for anything else its not worth it.

Maybe I should try it on these durn -hard-to-scalp kidmons and see if I can get their hair loose faster then.

I have been spending ALOT of time in concealed peak. Farming GGK mostly but also observing things as far as drop rates go. Ive watched alot of parties fight ggk without war rants. I watched a party farm ggk for an hour without the rant, and then me and my wife farmed ggk for an hour and I have a rant on, and at the end we got far more items than the other party. Some dropped nothing, some dropped armor, ring and weapons in one drop. The rant does help, but it also boosts your chances of getting alot of junk too, like mats.

It doesn't work well (for the price). I tried it with the King Mushroom quest (60 spores is a pain), and nothing changed. I did get more material drops, but that's not what I needed (that's what buy/sell vendors are for). This should like 100 SparkCash for 60 days.
