    I got 22 cotos since persistence, most of then in undead creatures and 2 from mining

    Perhaps we do not know the mechanics of these drops. For example, rather than an RNG roll on every loot, perhaps the roll is on a monthly basis on each player. Aldo...month of March roll...no Coto schedued this month regardless of kills recorded. Just saying.

    I will have to do all the work myself.
    *stomps foot*


    Here is what Chris said about Crowns.
    There is also a tech talk about loot math in general where Chris says it is about *2 per tier.
    https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/tech-talk-tuesday-s.81764/
    (First one in the list there)

    Now the actual drop 'rate' I haven't found, and it is also changing potentially on a weekly basis (not as likely any more but it used to be) then the rate isn't as important as the comparatively likelyhood.

    But let's assume a one in a 10 million chance. Then with a *2 per tier it would work out like this:
    t1 … 0,0000001
    t2 … 0,0000002
    t3 … 0,0000004
    t4 … 0,0000008
    t5 … 0,0000016
    t6 … 0,0000032
    t7 … 0,0000064
    t8 … 0,0000128
    t9 … 0,0000256
    t10 … 0,0000512

    Now mind you I don't think it is linear like that but rather some hyperbolic curve which diminish vs some set target.

    I have 400+ hours played. I've mined probably 50k ore. I'm AL 72 and PL 62. I'm mining and fighting in T5 exclusively.

    I have never looted a crown of any kind...my luck stinks I guess.

    I got them from time to time with hardened/elite Skeletons.
    Also never with mining! Don't be sad ;)

    I've gotten crowns of various types on:
    Obsidian Wolves (DRW)
    Obsidian Bears (DRW)
    Hardened/Elite Skellys (DRW and The Rise)
    Barbarians (Ulfheim at the center camp)
    Kobolds (K'rul - think it was from a gunner, not certain though)
    Mining nodes (gold, silver and copper nodes from various mines)

    I'd say they are rare, but not extremely rare and can drop from just about anything.

    I got one from Hilt this week; first one I've seen in months.
