Talk:Basket of Apples

It seems to stick around...
I did the original quest for The Orchard who knows how long ago, but the basket still sits happily there in the trees. It even still spawns spiders for me as I lug it along. Is this normal, or have I encountered a bug? Lady Chani 05:36, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It sticks around even after the quest for it is done. It seems to be that way for many items, but some do go away once they are no longer needed.  69.182.188.82 15:31, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Increased drops
Ok so an IP added a note saying the basket will increase yoru drop rate... can this be confirmed? sounds like hoax... I dont have a pre char to check this out... I would assume with nick being around and this item being around for so long that a peice of info like this if true would have been long since discovered...

 * Nop,it seems true- after me farming scale fins,i let my fire imp summon kill them and i seemed to get a drop from Every foe.-- Nei l2250 User Neil2250 sig icon4.jpg. 20:10, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds fake to me. You usually get a drop from every foe anyway! --76.114.80.153 03:28, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I just tried this, and I found no significant increase in drop rates; if anything, they seem to be lower while holding the basket. My samples are admittedly small, so feel free to perform more trials if you don't trust the following data. Until then, the anomaly note is going down.

With basket: (I held basket the whole time; imp dealt 100% of damage to spiders.)

Without basket: (I carried the basket, dropping it the moment a spider spawned and not picking it up until all were dead; imp dealt 100% of damage to spiders.) --Mme. Donelle 17:30, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
