What do you notice? Do you notice any patterns?

Well, for each boss, it seems as though there are "buckets" that scrolls/equipment are categorized into. 3 Skill scrolls for Fane Priest and 3 skill scrolls for Fane Protector. 4 adv.plans for Fane Priest and 4 adv.plans for Fane protector.. 3 S-Class Armor for Fane Priest and 3 S-Class Weapons for Fane Protector. 1 accessory for each and 1 back item for each.

So what does this mean?

This is where the theory kicks in.. Suppose the first skill scroll to drop from priest is corruption trap 5.. that means the NEXT SKILL scroll to drop.. is either PK5 or LB5... which means corruption trap 5 will not be dropped again from that boss until either 1) server maintenance 2) the "skill scroll" bucket, is complete - i.e. pk5, lb5 and corruption trap 5 all have dropped.

So... this also means that your drop rates DEPEND on what other people dropped before you (hence dynamic), in between server maintenances. If someone dropped a PK5 on Nisroc 1, and that was the only skill scroll that was dropped, you chance of getting PK5 is 0% until either the next server maintenance or when the "skill scroll bucket" is complete. That's why you only see me on one of the servers sometimes killing priest!

Strategy

Thus.. if you want to be a smart camper.. it's important to know which items people have dropped before camping that server (maybe you don't have the luxury to do that).. or stick to one server so you know all the drops. If you are able to keep track what others have dropped, there will be instances where the next skill scroll to drop is 100% PK5.. and that's when you and your league should run a 24/7 camp on that one boss. Server maintenance messes everything up and resets all of the "drop buckets"... this is one of the primary reasons why PK5 is hard to get.

If you start with a lot of gold, camping for pk5 will make you fabulously rich, after outfitting your with scrolls and selling some drops later on. Best of luck people!
