==Daily Item Cap==
+
{{Talk archive
Hi guys. I was discussing things with [[User:ShunyValdez|ShunyValdez]], and there seems to be a daily cap on the number of items you can get aside from the weekly cap of hours in which you can get items. Essentially, if you idle for a single day and use up all your "alloted weekly cap of hours", you might not be able to get any more items for the rest of the week.

There seems to be some truth to this as when I played for over 12 hrs, I only got 6 items for the entire week, but then when I played for about 2-3hrs/day in the span of 3 days, I was able to get 12 items (and it wasn't carry-over from the previous week - I had just received 6 items the week before).

== How about a list of every tool that *can* drop? ==
  
Can anyone else confirm this? There's also been some talk that idling will get you less items than actively playing, possibly due to the daily item cap + weekly hours cap combination? Essentially if idlers use up all their alloted weekly hours in the span of a single day, that's it for them, just 6 items? -[[User:Object404|Object404]] 02:09, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Especially since I cannot tell if the summer claim check drops or not, conflicting info.
:: As far as my observation has been, it really doesn't affect it, as I've heard this "rumor" before. I've idled weeks in straight up training mode for 24 hours straight, and other times in playtime bunches of 2-4 hours, like you've stated. The amount of drops I received wasn't that significantly different - they seemed to be still in the same ballpark of 6-10 items + 1-3 crates, regardless of method, server type (local or an idle server), or play time. Everything is complete speculation until commented on by devs, in my opinion. I can probably go more in depth, but that can be reserved for a PM/friend request/IRC chat if you wish to converse further on this matter with my observations/results. <span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:110%">'''— [[User:Ventus|<span style="color:#6699CC">ventus</span>]]|'''''[[User talk:Ventus|<span style="font-size:90%;color:#669933">talk</span>]]</span>''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 02:16, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

{{C|Support}} The list of taunts are going to be evergrowing, whereas a list of tools that can drop will not be growing most likely. Though we should specify somewhere that taunts don't drop, as they're not really commonly seen as a "tool".<br>[[File:BLU Wiki Cap.png|20px|link=List of Wiki Cap owners]] | [[Help:Group rights|<span style="color:green;font-family:TF2 Build;">s</span>]] | [[User:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">GrampaSwood</font>]] [[File:PraisetheSun.png|20px|alt=Praise the Sun!]] ([[User talk:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">talk</font>]]) ([[Special:Contributions/GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">contribs</font>]]) 11:32, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

:Added this. Kinda confused why it wasn't like this from the beginning seeing how few tools actually drop. [[User:Jh34ghu43gu|Jh34ghu43gu]] ([[User talk:Jh34ghu43gu|talk]]) 07:10, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
I've added an explanation on how a player can "receive" multiple items/drops (shown on the hud as multiple "has found"). I would be thinking of a way to make the explanation a lot clearer (I'm unsatisfied at the current state). -- [[User:ShunyValdez|ShunyValdez]] 15:55, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

==Under what conditions will you ''not'' receive item drops?==
 
The information I have been able to find is old, and sometimes contradictory. I was hoping to find the answers here, on the wiki, but no mention is made in this article. Do you still have to be signed into the friends system to receive item drops? If you do not, when did this change take place? Lastly, can you receive drops in training mode, offline practice, or by creating a private LAN or internet server?
 
 
 
If somebody can find this information, I feel it would be a great addition to the article, for people like myself who haven't followed the system very closely. --[[User:Shackanaw|Shackanaw]] 08:32, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 
:I'll answer what I do know: You can receive drops in a private LAN server (I get items all the time while tr_walkway'ing), and I assume offline practice/training mode is exactly the same as that (only a different map). As for your other question, I don't know D: — [[User:WindPower|WindPower]] 08:35, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 
::I received an item drop in offline practice while I was not signed into my friends list, so those two are answered. However, I still do not know ''when'' they made it so you do not have to be signed into the Steam Community. --[[User:Shackanaw|Shackanaw]] 01:08, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

==Why is there a Milestone section to this article?==
 
 
 
It seems to be unnecessarily long, and doesn't add more to the generalized discussion than just indicating that items drop from earning achievements in addition to randomly.

== -novid ==
 
 
 
"Despite the new systems Idling still exists, however it is now possible using the offline mode (use of the -textmode game launch parameter combined with -novid and -nosound to disable video and audio processing respectively) leaving server providers free to provide a gaming experience."
 
 
 
-novid just disables the intro video, it would seem to be -textmode that actually disables video.  I don't use -textmode though so I'll let someone else who knows more fix it...

== New way of idling ==
 
 
 
I have been playing in the offline practice mode with the bots and got no less then 2 weapons and a crate.  This will allow a lot of players to idle without connecting to the internet or using a lot of CPU.  We need to test further what can and can't be used to see how to idle in this mode. [[User:Daminshi|Daminshi]]
 
:This seems odd, I'm pretty sure the drop system is managed outside of the TF2 client.  Perhaps it could've been things in your TF2 drop queue that you didn't receive when you last signed off.  Either way, if anybody supports your claim then I'll certainly be interested in looking into this. -[[User:RJackson|<span style="background-color:#FF0000;color:white;font-size:0.7em;padding: 0 2px;">RJ</span>]]{{mod}} 02:04, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
This was a significant amount of time between drops and I didn't get those several items before.  I even used no clip and Sv_cheats randomly and still got the crate.  It's weird.  Also got a new Huntsman.  :3  I love this.

:::: This is news to me because I've tried it before and it didn't work.  It was before the April patch that changed the random time drop to the fixed time drop, must have been very unlucky with my PC running for 36 hours. [[User:Daminshi|Daminshi]]

:::::: Now I know for certain that items can be dropped in that mode.  I got a error saying my "server", my TF2 client running offline practice, "lost connection to Steam."  So the Steam item and drop servers are connected to my "offline" practice mode. [[User:Daminshi|Daminshi]]

== 56 items per week? ==
 
 
 
"The maximum amount of items you can get is not known, however it can't exceed 56 because the day drop limit is 8. On average a player gets ~6 items a week. [2] The system resets each player's item drop count around each Wednesday, Pacific standard time where Valve is located."
 
 
 
Seems somebody messed up here.
 
[[User:Secret Agent Clank|Secret Agent Clank]] 01:51, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:Er. I thought it was, like, 11 items a week?
 
 
 
::Idling page says 8-12 items a week, which seems right, so I'm going to change that.
 
::Regardless, from what I hear, if you don't get your drops for a week they carry over, can anyone confirm?
 
::One of my sources :http://www.ubercharged.net/forum/index.php?topic=2580.msg163269#msg163269
 
::[[User:Secret Agent Clank|Secret Agent Clank]] 03:40, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:::I've heard a LOT of contradictory information regarding the drop limits. Some places say 8-12 items per DAY, others (like here) say per WEEK. I know I can get 11-13 items per day, which is already more than this page and other sources I've seen have claimed. Lately for some reason I get NO drops anymore during normal gameplay, but if I leave the game idling for even 30 minutes - even AFTER a day of no drops whatsoever, and regardless of how long ago the drop system was reset - I start getting items again. What on earth is going on here?!
 
:::I'm still experimenting with the system to determine how many items can be acquired per week/why I don't get drops anymore except when idling. About to test if I can get more items after having gotten 12 or so earlier in the week, perhaps I'll report back if I get any interesting results.

::::There are not caps on the quantity of items one can receive per week, but instead caps on the amount of playtime in which drops can be obtained - and this playtime has been determined based upon the average time spent in TF2 to make it fairer for those who don't have the time to play.  This means that ''light''-players will get more than they would've with the older system, and ''heavy''-players would get a similar amount (instead of a lot more - with the old sytstem.  Check out the tf2 blog about the newer system here: http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=3727. -[[User:RJackson|<span style="background-color:#FF0000;color:white;font-size:0.7em;padding: 0 2px;">RJ</span>]]{{mod}} 09:36, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
:::It seems like the item is artificially capped at 12 items, however if you did not reach the cap a week prior, you can earn up to two more items. I've achieved 14 items in a single night only once from many months of idling on several accounts. This needs a lot more testing. [[User:Sanitysama|Sanitysama]] 03:20, 25 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== No items when playing with bots? ==
 
 
 
My computer isn't powerful enough to handle online matches very well, but I can play with bots just fine, so that's what I've done for a long time now. For several weeks I haven't gotten any item drops in normal gameplay with bots. I do, however, seem to get drops if I'm playing tr_walkway or just mucking around solo on any map, even the same ones that don't give drops with bots. Does anyone else have this experience? Has Valve changed something so that using bots stops the drop system from working? [[User:Will-T|Will-T]] 21:36, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
:I was still able to get items when playing with bots... Maybe you just hit your cap. [[User:Meter1060|Meter1060]] 19:20, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
::I got a drop while playing with bots today, so I think things might be back to normal, though I don't know what was different before, if anything. I don't think it was me hitting my cap, because I wouldn't get drops even if I'd found nothing at all yet in that week. For now it looks like things are good again ... I hope they stay that way!

== Separate drop timers? ==
 
 
 
In the [[Mann Co. Supply Crate]] discussion we noticed that drops are on separate timers.  At the very least, there is separation between droppable tools and droppable weapons/hats as its pretty common to see a double drop (i.e. a crate and a weapon drop on the same death).  I don't think there is enough verifiable data out there to add onto the wiki page but how do we start determining what is separate and what isn't?  Is it possible since hats drop so infrequently? [[User:Iloverice|Iloverice]] 23:59, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:I believe Robin has responded in an email that they are indeed on separate timers because it wouldn't be fair to have one of your item drops used up by an item that you need to pay to open. [[User:Moussekateer|Moussekateer]] 00:01, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
::Then it might be useful information to put in. [[User:Meter1060|Meter1060]] 19:21, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:I thought the article used to say this.  Was it removed, or maybe I'm misremembering?  (Digging through the edit history is tedious.)  The separate drop timer would be useful information to include, maybe just cite "personal correspondence." --[[User:Itsatrap|Itsatrap]] 19:21, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 
::Aha, I found it. It was mentioned in the [[Mann Co. Supply Crate]] article in early October, but was removed on October 12, 2010 as an unsourced statement.

== am, pm, 24.00 time? ==
 
 
 
The wiki page says that the drop cap "resets every Thursday at approximately 0:00AM Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)." As a non-american I have big problems with the am/pm system since it goes from 11:59pm to 12.00am, it doesn't make any sense to me. Anyway, i didn't think that 0:00AM existed, and on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM_PM, it isn't listed, so what exactly is 0:00AM? Is it 00:00 in the 24h system?

== 336 hours worth of playtime? ==
 
 
 
When the article says how it will carry over for a maximum of 2 weeks playtime, does that mean 336 hours (hours in 2 weeks) instead of 11??

:I think it means if you have 0 hours playtime in week 1 and 22 hours playtime in week 2, you can get upto 12 drops in week 2 and none in week 1. If you have 11+ hours of playtime in week 1 and 11+ hours in week 2 then you get up to 6 drops each week within the first 11 hours of each week. [[User:JakeSanchard|JakeSanchard]] 18:35, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 
:: It means two weeks of playtime that would be counted towards drops. Let's assume that 6 hours a week will give you items drops.

== Reset time ==
 
 
 
Where does the time for the playtime cap reset come from? Because to me, it seems erroneous. I live in the Netherlands, so I am GMT +1/+2, depending on summer time, and for me it always seems to reset on Thursdays around 4 or 5 pm. I know this is merely anecdotal evidence and thus probably weighs naught in the grand scheme of things, but I do feel I should mention this because I might not be the only one that has experienced this. For clarification, by the way, I have tested several times by starting to idle in the morning on Thursdays, never lost connection and my first drop would only drop around 4/5 pm. This also includes the Double Drop Week, where I saw no drops for several hours and then stuff suddenly started dropping every 15 minutes, around 5 pm. -- <span style="font-family:TF2 Build;font-size:90%;">[[File:Killicon train.png|40px|link=User:Hefaistus]] [[User:Hefaistus|<font color="#FF9933">Hefaistus</font>]]</span> - [[User talk:Hefaistus|<span style="color:black;font-size:82%;">talk</span>]] 15:58, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 
:Tested it out two more times in the past two weeks, every time the drops don't happen till 5 pm. So can someone finally respond to this? Because at the moment I am half tempted to just remove the claim that the drop resets at midnight GMT, as I have yet to see any kind of proof of the supposed reset time. -- <span style="font-family:TF2 Build;font-size:90%;">[[File:Killicon train.png|40px|link=User:Hefaistus]] [[User:Hefaistus|<font color="#FF9933">Hefaistus</font>]]</span> - [[User talk:Hefaistus|<span style="color:black;font-size:82%;">talk</span>]] 03:56, 1 August 2011 (PDT)

==Double Drop Rate Event Item Cap?==
 
Does Double Drop Rate event increase the "cap"(well total quantity rather than playtime cap) of items dropped? I'd assumed it does since it's based on play time (10 hours) and not the amount of actual items obtained right?

The pages for both the [[Planeswalker Goggles]] and the [[Planeswalker Helm]] list them as items that can drop. This page's dropdown list says that neither of them will drop. So, which is it? [[User:Evang7|Evang7]] 20:51, 12 August 2011 (PDT)

== Items capped by unique ID or unique IP? ==
 
 
 
After a few months of experimenting with multiple idle accounts running at the same time on a network I've run into a few problems. First, there seems to be an arbitrary number of items each account can receive overnight. For example, I will idle several accounts and by complete random one will receive six items, one gets 8, and one maybe gets 10. If I continue to idle them throughout the entire day I will get absolutely nothing extra. Sometimes textmode idling simply no longer works after this point and I must revert to playing in 3d mode in a private server.
 
 
 
I've been recording the amount of items I received in a single session on each account for several weeks. I will idle three accounts on three separate computers every Wednesday night. The amount of items I would receive this way would range between 6-10 items per account. Recently I idled only two computers at night instead of three and I got a surprising difference. The pairs of accounts I idled per night received no less than 10-14 items in a single idling session.
 
 
 
This led me to the theory that items are not capped on an account-by-account basis but rather by IP address. Valve servers may see my IP getting more items than possible and are arbitrarily capping each account. However, that cap is usually somehow lifted in a short amount of time by evidence of the fact that I can simply change the method of idling and start receiving items again. I can only assume the action that relieves the cap is signing out of Steam. Can anyone confirm any of this to be true? Additionally, can anyone positively confirm that idling in a server alone increases the amount of time between item drops? I've only heard rumors of this being true and have yet to see anyone provide evidence. [[User:Sanitysama|Sanitysama]] 03:40, 25 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
:I think you are right that it is by IP address, as me and my brother have separate accounts, but share the same computer, and we see a wide variation in the number of drops we each get per week [[User:Jh9594|Jh9594]] 16:44, 25 August 2011 (PDT)
 
::The cap is a time based one not item count. You will '''not''' get the same amount of items from week to week or account to account, there's a variance.

:::That's well and good but still doesn't answer the question the original question posed concerning items being dropped per account or per IP address. In a given drop period, regardless of the items dropped to time played ratio, are two or more people playing on separate accounts but on the same IP going to see a dramatically lower, on average, number of items dropped per account than a single account would in the same drop period being the only account on the IP? Grammar don't fail me now. From experience I believe the item drop system to be on a per IP address basis. My friend and I play, on separate accounts, but under the same IP. I play often and reach the point of slow/no item dropping sooner than they do while also acquiring consistently more items than they do. Anyway, neither of us idle, nor do we have any data yet to present as somewhat more solid evidence, however, I feel that the topic should be opened up to questioning again and perhaps more testing, myself included, be conducted. - [[User:Slimbob|Slimbob]] 01:56, 10 October 2011 (PDT)

How long does the unused time carry over? For example, if I don't play during week 1 and I play a week's worth of time in week 2, will week 3 still grant 2 weeks of item drops?

:Isnt it, you have 10 or so hours per week of eligibility to receive drops, and any time that was not used during that week does not carry over.  You just simply have a new week with 10 or so more hours to receive your drops for the week.  I think it goes on a week by week basis with no carry over time, just every week has its own clock and if you don't use it, you have next weeks clock to work with.  At least thats how I've always interpreted the system.

==Item Chances?==
 
If there isn't a section already on it, I think this would be a great place for there to be a chart or some statistics on how likely it is you will find: an item, a specific item, a hat, a specific hat, any/specific paint and the individual other drop-able tools. (and by specific I don't mean a different number for each hat, just the chance per drop of getting the hat that you want) [[User:Bujeebus|Massive Mountain of Hat]] 16:25, 16 October 2011 (PDT)
 
:I agree.  When i read that when valve changed the drop system to a weekly cap it says that they increased the chances of getting a hat.  But what were the chances before? And what are they now? Are newer items more likely to drop? Is there a limit to the number of hats that you can get per week/month/whatever? [[User:Bakkerthehacker|Bakkerthehacker]] 16:49, 30 October 2011 (PDT)
 
::Would certainly be interesting.

==Crates==
 
I know crates don't count for the item drop cap, but is there anyway to figure out how often they drop? For example, I try to average around the same playtime everyweek and I would guess I get about 2-3 crates per week. But with the halloween update, I've been playing an overwhelmingly increased amount (even if most of that was gift waiting) and haven't received a crate since before my item drop cap was seemingly reached. I would guess in all my extra playing, I would have received a few more crates. [[User:BASEBALLFURIES|BASEBALLFURIES]] 19:03, 2 November 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
==Halloween 2011 items==
 
 
 
Seeing as how the Ghastly Gibus and the Ghastlier Gibus are a part of the "Items that cannot be found via a random drop" list, shouldn't the Ghastlierest Gibus be added to the list too? And shouldn't the various Halloween 2011 hats/miscellaneous items also be added to the list? [[User:Thtorak0|Tahtorak0]]9:00, 9 November 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
==Playtime over 11 hours==
 
I play TF2 *All* the time, so my average playtime is way more than 11 hours, but does that cap my pickups, as in I get less items than under 11 hours or what? Thank you if you answer. [[User:Lukeme99|Lukeme99]] 10:28, 13 January 2012 (PST)
 
 
 
== Crates no longer drop in textmode ==
 
It seems as if crates are no longer dropping for those that exclusively use the -textmode switch to idle. I've got sufficient amounts of data to back this as the accounts I use have not received a single crate since before the Jan. 4th drop period nor during the current Jan. 11th drop period. It may or may not be something worth mentioning here in the item drop system page or as a small snippet on the [[Idling]] page.
 
 
 
It's my personal theory that Valve is working on making crates more valuable to test the players' incentive towards buying keys to open them. It's the sort of psychological experiment that Valve is known to perform. One of their methods must involve disabling the distribution of crates to accounts that only exist for the creation of extra items. Logically this would create an overwhelming amount of extra crates entered into the system; specifically given to those who aren't interested in them, therefore lowering the perceived value of a single crate.

::I found the odds of receiving no crates across ten accounts for two weeks exceptionally strange. However it seems you're right, crates will still drop but it's a very low chance. I'll get 0-1 on any account as opposed to the guaranteed 2 per week that used to drop. It also seems like the odds of receiving a low item cap have also increased as none of my accounts have managed to net very many items like they used to.

== Has the drop timespan decreased? Corrections needed? ==
 
Although the article says 11hrs, in my case it's been ~7hrs for two consecutive weeks, on two accounts. After that nothing and it resulted in 6-7 items received. Has anyone else experienced something like this? [[User:Tazer|Tazer]] 17:29, 19 January 2012 (PST)
 
:I've had two accounts where one has idled for almost 48 hours and gotten 3 items, the other for 7 hours gotten 20 items. So I'm a bit confused right now.[[User:Nibelhim|Nibelhim]] 16:04, 31 January 2012 (PST)
 
:: The drop frequency is another question, because according to the article the maximum time you should wait between new items is ~70 min. Coming back to drop timespan, in my another week the items dropped for 7-8hrs again. So it's again few good hours short from what the article says and on Steam Forums one person said that 7hrs is his average as well. Also, as pointed out above it seems that reset time is Thursday 15.00 GMT, not midnight. Recently my first items started to drop ~15:30 and ~15:50 and I'm based in the UK, GMT+0, so no error possible. I'm new to TF2, but I guess there should be some new research and verification of information given as many refer to the wiki, perhaps incorectly. [[User:Tazer|Tazer]] 11:41, 1 February 2012 (PST)
 
:: UPDATE: It's Thursday midnight and... drops occured on my main account. Interesting thing is that it's been a month since I started playing. The account itself is much older, though it's been a month since I got my first items from drops, earned first achievements etc. Could it be related to this? Will my drop timespan be 11hrs now? Since I proposed some research, it seems like I'll have to do some research on my own, from fresh-mature account perspective. [[User:Tazer|Tazer]] 17:19, 1 February 2012 (PST)
 
I'd also like a bit of info on this topic, as I've not heard about the account's age or how long TF2 has been on the account affecting the period of time in which you receive your weekly drops. My Steam account itself was registered in April 2006 and TF2 was added to the account late November or early December if I recall correctly, but my playing of TF2 was very sporadic and I only have 139.1 Hours played total, and am just getting back into a TF2 phase. What affect does that have on the timespan in which my items are received if I've tended to play for roughly 6-8 hours daily for the past few days? [[User:Dvsilverwing|Dvsilverwing]] 18:21, 7 February 2012 (PST)
 
:I hope to have more observations tomorrow. I have few theses, but I need to try them out and see if they are consistent this week. As both of my previously mentioned accounts are "in play" more than a month now (because my main accont was created in 2010 along with Orange Box, I just didn't play TF2 back then) my first thing to test will be if drops occur after midnight on two accouts this time. Last week it was Thursday midnight and in fact ~10hrs on my "mature" account, and Thursday 15.00 GMT and only ~5hrs on my "fresh" account. In the mean time, I just happen to got yet another "fresh" account and I'll check there as well if I can. Anyway Dvsilverwing, as you seem to fit my "mature" account theory, can you check what time, even roughtly, you start getting your items? Of course, anybody is free to add their bit, the only division I'm looking for is wheter the account is less or more than a month since the actual start of playing TF2, i.e. first drops, achievements etc. Like I said, I have to wait and test if my theories are rather valid, or just plain nonsense. [[User:Tazer|Tazer]] 08:47, 8 February 2012 (PST)
 
:: Okay, here's what I got: My theory was that after 1 month of playing items start dropping at Thursday midnight and drop for ~10 hrs, as stated in the article. My main account started dropping items at 00.00 GMT and dropped them for ~9hrs, second account, now over month in play dropped for ~10hrs but started at ~15.00 GMT as always, and my newest account under 2 weeks in play started way before 15.00 GMT (I <u>assume</u> it would start at midnight, just couldn't test it) and dropped items for ~7hrs. Conclusions? Well, my "midnight-big drops-if above month" theory failed, as items seemed to drop for longer timespan for accounts over 1 month in play, but the time was different. For my fresh account the time it starts dropping items is (and maybe always was) probably midnight, so fresh-mature theory is irrelevant and the time seems to be random, or at least sets to midnight at random moment. As for now, I can probably only further test if accounts over 1 month in play get the item timespan fixed at ~9-10 hrs or maybe they will continue to get ~6-7hrs as well as when they were fresh (so basically, whether the timespan is random or not for older accounts). I can also test if accounts that once started to drop items after midnight can get "reverted" to 15.00 (so basically if the time is random as well). And once again, all obvservations from other people are welcomed. [[User:Tazer|Tazer]] 12:44, 10 February 2012 (PST)
 
 
 
==Extremely Outdated Information, I Want to Edit The Main Page==
 
I have been testing the item drop system for months now and removing all the variables i can. I have the perfect guide for the perfect method of farming. The problem is that all the info on this wiki page is extremely outdated. There is also another wiki for tf2 that causes confusion and is lacking far too much information. Im asking what you guys think of my proposal.
 
Heres my idea... I will edit the original page in a manner that leaves all the original information citations and everything as is. But i would like to add a new section to the top because the item drop system has changed since the most recent mention on the main page of the item drop system changing. I have enough info to break down the drops and their drop rate down to a science, the only thing i cant keep track of and post is the drop rate/percentages for the likely hood that a specific item or type of item will drop. I will continue to do research in the following months and posting and updating my findings.
 
Im a very dedicated fan, player and trader, so i would love to keep this page up to speed since i come across far too many people that dont understand how the drop system works due to the amount of rumors and outdated information floating around the net, and the lack of knowledge that a lot of people have preventing them from finding this important info. I currently test my farming on a weekly or biweekly basis with my 8 accounts so i have plenty of room to further test the drop system.
 
 
 
I can give more example of my findings and post it all here before i update the main page with my findings, if anyone thinks i should. What do you guys think the best way of approaching this would be? Should i go ahead and edit the main page as i mentioned, or should i just keep my findings here buried under the mountains of text?

How about a list of every tool that *can* drop?

Especially since I cannot tell if the summer claim check drops or not, conflicting info. Cheezcracker (talk) 07:14, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support The list of taunts are going to be evergrowing, whereas a list of tools that can drop will not be growing most likely. Though we should specify somewhere that taunts don't drop, as they're not really commonly seen as a "tool".

Added this. Kinda confused why it wasn't like this from the beginning seeing how few tools actually drop. Jh34ghu43gu (talk) 07:10, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
