EM Event drops

Hey all!
Old player returning starting from scratch and wondering how em drops are distributed now. Last I played it was a decent source of income on my home shard. I believe back then you had to be in the top 20 or so in damage. Is this still the case? Just hoping to get a little spending money! Thanks!

Its a combination of damage dealt, damage received and healing done...plus a sprinkling of RNG.

Then there also, allegedly, a "home shard advantage" that supposedly builds up points like Doom does until you get a drop. So don't go on a character that shardhops.

I would guess 3-5 drops go to each of the guys running 6+ accounts at once and there are easily 5+ people doing this at each event so that would leave a few left overs for the other players.

What am I on about? See HERE

I've seen four people start with brand new characters and get a drop. The weakest hit was 2 damage to the boss. It's completely random as long as you hit the boss or heal a character or pet that hit the boss.

Survivability is how I build characters on every shard for the drops. More often then not everyone dies which is why I like the spellweaver with gift of life and gift of renewal.

I have at least one char per USA shard that can fight and travel, and I managed to pull a few drops that I sold on those shards for gold there, only a few did not sell and I took them home to keep. At least I keep up on the insurance for those char

On Siege I would normally sell the drop for Gold, but the last one I got I kept for my Luna house.
