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. Don't think I've ever gotten it in less then 10 with that same setup. (Even with the flamming shirt it's more then 10) --[[User:Plater|Plater]] <small>([[User talk:Plater|t]]|[[Special:Contributions/Plater|c]])</small> 08:30, 5 February 2008 (CST)

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

That's almost definitely the point of the sidequest.--Starwed 08:58, 16 August 2007 (CDT)

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. 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. Don't think I've ever gotten it in less then 10 with that same setup. (Even with the flamming shirt it's more then 10) --Plater (t|c) 08:30, 5 February 2008 (CST)

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.

Out of 250 adventures (incl. the 140 above), I got 51 glands. That's 20%, or 17% adjusted for Mad Looting Skillz. The +/- is 5%, so more spading is needed to narrow down the percentage.--Foggy 08:58, 24 October 2007 (CDT)

Current results: 12.2%, standard error of 1%. That pretty much rules out 15%, and makes a 10% drop rate pretty unlikely. Doing this with +100% item drop would have halved the uncertainty; is there a reason you didn't? --Starwed 15:00, 17 November 2007 (CST)
