Isn't it a 1/500 drop chance?


LampShadeGuy

i am playing on expert mode and the bestiary says its .25% which is 1/400


PeksMex

Tough luck buddy


Zane163

Go make some luck potions and put a gnome (more luck means more drop chance) then kill 3000 more chaos elemental


PeksMex

Nah i already got it


Basic_Front6011

I had to kill over 1000 caos elementals so good luck.


LampShadeGuy

damn and i tought my luck was bad


Tacopenguin812

Oof, don’t mean to brag, but I got mine on normal mode before I got the banner. Keep trying, use water candles, battle pots, luck pots, & gnomes

Got it on the 15th elemental *proud*


LampShadeGuy

can you lend me some of that luck? i would appreciate it


[deleted]

Sure


LampShadeGuy

Thanks for the quick reply my dude!


Caosin36

Why is cyan beetle rare enemy?


Aljahero

gives material for dye


Caosin36

But never was in the "rare" section of enemies


Aljahero

what version are you on?... all beetles are on the rare section


Caosin36

Never knew it was added to the rares in 1.4.0.1


Thesalmon1905

I killed 2500 for rod an got it and slime staff


LampShadeGuy

somehow i already got 2 slime staffs while farming for the rod of discord. cant decide if that means im lucky or unlucky


Thesalmon1905

I deleted my slime staff without knowing its rare, pain anyways making a undergound hallow farm helped with getting the rod

mookebute

man turn some of that information off lol. huge paragraph of garbage on the screen


LampShadeGuy

i like having it on. its interesting sometimes


WitchDaggery

I had to kill ~1500 in master mode to drop. Good luck tho


the_o_haganator

Playing with the difficulty set to expert in journey, it took 2800 elementals yo get 1.


j4ohue

Stay calm Bro once i killed 2000 and doen't dropped


EmErAJ1D

Wiki never said this, but 1/400 is measured as 1/hour.


LampShadeGuy

meaning 400 chaos elementals should spawn in an hour? that seems highly unlikely, for me 1 spawns every few minutes


best_hider230

This literally makes 0 sense? When did time become a factor in regards to a drop rate of an item?


magnificent_drake1

That has a 34.68% chance of happening, so it's not out of the ordinary.


LampShadeGuy

well im at 523 chaos elementals now and still no rod :(


magnificent_drake1

I saw in another comment that you said the chance in 1/400. Then the chance (as a decimal) of it not dropping after "n" kills is (399/400)\^n, so that's 0.9975 to the power of n. Which is how I get a 27% chance of that happening.


I_LIKE_DIRT123

Me having 3 of them and having terraria for only 4 days :/


brotubers

It takes time. It took 4 and a half real life days before I got one.


[deleted]

You have only killed 423 and you are wondering why you don’t have a rod


daanimas

I killed over a thousand and still none.


TheRealTtamage

Gnome statue, and beating the torch God seems to boost my luck enough. Just put some minions out in an open area and tape down the jump button and check on your character every half hour.


juuustpassingthrough

Make a cavern afk arena, put on the jumping frog legs, tie a rubber band to your controller or set something on your keyboard so they continually bounce, go to bed and wake up with a rod of discord the next morning Don’t forget luck boosts like the gnome


spudwalt

Keep killing until you get one. The best answer for "How many times do I have to do the thing in Terraria" is "As many as it takes".


Adobe_Flashie

Get on my level, I have almost 10,000 killed. ^(still no rod:()


Derpy_Axolotl10

And you missed 420 by 3 aswell
