I was wondering if the drop rates of the monsters in Acts I,II, and IV have changed accordingly to the density increases. For example if a Zombie use to have a 1% (theoretically) chance to drop a Legendary, but now there are like 100x more than before, did the drop rate get changed to 0.01% to compensate or is it still sitting at 1%?
There's no way to be sure beyond a ton of testing, but I think drop rates should be relatively consistent now based on the hp of the mobs in question. Other acts should be about like A3 was before from what they've said.

...and if you disagree with me, you're probably <insert random ad hominem attack here>.
Yea so those are all the monsters in the zones that got significant buffs. However because it states there were adjustments, but not in which direction it's hard to tell. Oh well. From what I found farming today in a 2hr session at max MF on MP10 was 23 legendaries, and 2 of them were witching hours. One witching was dex, vit, 72 AR, 9% life CHD 50% OMG
Unless otherwise stated in the patch notes I think it's safe to assume drop rates have not changed. You still have to kill the mobs so just because there's 2 of them doesn't mean they would reduce the drop rate by 50%.

...you are going to be mighty upset about this potential roll back then with the regards to the gold duping exploit that just got released with the new patch..
Above ... no need to derail this thread. The Op is asking about drop rates ... not gold duping, so use another thread. As for the topic, I would love to hear/read about about others' drop experiences in Acts 1, 2, & 4 (& areas) with the new patch. I won't get a chance to play for about another 10 hours so hopefully they'll be some good areas to hit :Thumbs Up:

My run was Festering Woods > Fields of Misery > The Weeping Hollow > Northern Highlands > Cathedral Level 2 > Halls of Agony Level 2 > Cursed Hold > Halls of Agony Level 3 > Butcher
(Start on the "Cursed Hold" quest to get both the Warden and the Butcher for loot)
My experience with the drop rates is that in low MP (0-5) are much less rares/legendaries. Above MP6 there seems to be more rares/legendaries, due to so many mobs that the bonus drops make up for the low drop rates.
I have been getting a ton of rare drops and noticeably more legends than in previous weeks. I attribute this to more mobs = more chances to drop legends, not an increased chance per monster, however.

I just did Festering Woods -> Fields of Misery, I'll have to add these other areas in to see how they work.
I did try Southern Highlands and it's still pretty sparse. =\
But I did get 2 legendary helms within a few minutes of each other when I tried an Act 2 run. They both weren't that great though. :|

Thank you!! Did exactly that on MP7 (for 1 run) & got 6 legs. To say the least I was VERY happy :Thumbs Up:

I think it was Moldran (maybe a lot of other known YouTubers as well) made a video on how MP0-3 Elites/Champs will drop more Legendaries, MP4-6 Elites/Champs and trash have about the same chance for Legendaries, and MP7-10, trash will have the highest drop rate. This is because of the chance for the "Bonus Item" to drop, where it's 100% at MP10. From personal experience it's a fairly accurate representation. I get 10 Legendaries off trash for every 1 on Elites/Champs on MP10.

The following monsters have their experience and chance to drop loot modified to better align with their hit points:
