    Does the frequency of the drops depend on whether you just visit an area for the first time or if you have been spamming/grinding the area?

    If you kill a monster once then leave ( like a lich ) would the odds be higher of a high valued drop than if you stay there and grind/spam the scene.? So if one wants to get the best odds of getting a high valued loot then it would best to move around from scene to scene instead of staying in the same place all the time..

    eg: Go to scene for first time and kill lich and odds at 15%,, continue killing lich and it lowers to 2%
    eg: Go to scene and kill lich and odds at 15% then leave scene and go kill another high level mods at 15% then it resets loot counter for previous scene so if you go back the odd chance is back up at 15%..

    It been mentioned that the devs wanted users to move around more, and I am wondering if this is one the methods they are using.

    ADDED: I also ask this question because I was at Owls Head Sewers Yesterday Release 550 and noticed ( 50% potions reduction in the patch notes ) that I was no longer getting anything from the lichs... NO POTIONS OR RECIPES OR ANY ELSE OF VALUE in over 2 hours of grinding there. So this means that I have no more reason to go back there, but if I knew there was a greater chance the first visit of each time I go there then I would..

    The frequency of drops is coming from a secret rng made by evil Chris (j/k)... From my experience : the more you stay, the more you will get; thats what people are doing like staying forever in the rise or in some dungeon (or scènes) places.
    I never had a drop (artifact, recipes, ...) at my first kill, i allways had to stay at one place during hours to get Something.
    The VERY BAD thing (to me ) is that even REAGENTS (like trolls heads) seem to have the same drop rate as artifacts !!

    Troll Heads drop very often. But I wonder what else can I do with the head than selling?

    Do trolls give pristine head? I'd love to mount a troll head.

    I never had a pristine troll head, but I thought, the normal troll heads can be mounted.
