I would like to dispute the given 12% droprate. With the gnome skill and a pumpkin bucket (and pilgrim shield if even applies) it takes usually around 15-25 worms before i get the drop.

The pilgrim shield applies to weapons, and the gland ain't a weapon. The gnome skill and pumpkin bucket at 23%, which means that your drop rate is 1.23 * the drop rate of the gland.

Do item drop increases help get these glands? -Willie Christ 14:00, 10 July 2007. (EPT)

Drop Rate
With +49% item drop (phat loot, miner's hat, gnauga hide whip, 3 rabbit feet) I got 17 in 101 adventures. This gives a drop rate of 11% +/-5%. --Starwed 08:58, 16 August 2007 (CDT) I would like to dispute the given 12% droprate.

Drop Rate/Meat Drop
Testing with a Disco Bandit with both nimble fingers and mad looting skillz, I had 140 adventures, with 29 glands dropping. Meat range was 49-70, and the gaps in meat drops (53, 59, 65) were consistent with the projected 20% meat drop rate. Adjusting for the meat drop %, the range becomes 41-59. (But I'll test longer so that a) I can get more glands and b) see if the extremes will eventually drop.)--Foggy 13:45, 23 October 2007 (CDT)
Got the higher extreme, but not the lower, so it does seem the range is 41-60...which is weird, but weird numbers are o-tay.
