Please bare in mind the chance of a bot dropping something is exactly the same during kiting. It is just during kiting if you are the only person alive or within xp range, and if the percentage comes up successful and the bot drops something, it is you that will get the drop. As opposed to being on a full server where all people alive and in assist xp range have the chance of getting that drop.

Wait, so if a bot (for example) drops one old boot, then that boot is randomly given to someone within assist range? So if ten people would be in range, everyone would have a 1/10th chance of it actually dropping something for him? :o
I thought it was calculated by how many players were in the server, and that the droprate would decrease with more people in.

Yes, your first sentence is correct. The calculation for the chance of a bot dropping something is worked out when it dies. If it is successful, then there is a calculation for who gets it based on who is in assist xp range.

Essentially the more nords that die, the more chances there are of drops. The only reason people kite or solo is to ensure they get the drops themselves.
