Nope, they're just ultra rare.

Rarebit posted the odds a long time ago on the loot drops.

although thats a O_O stat, i think ive been getting bout 1 in 40-45 i think

Back in my day it was 1 / 200.

And it balances out. It may seem like 1/45 now but it really does balance out. I farmed Widows Moor from 39 to 48 on Syntax, and got dozens of each drop... sometimes you go hours without getting a drop, sometimes you literally get two drops in a row.

update: still havnt gotten a drop, not for 3 days. i think the drop rate might be broken. Im about halfway to 41 cause of farming tengu, but ive still only gotten 3 drops

24 hours or 24 days?  SMILEY

All drop rates seem to be getting smaller for me, even the Smith Frags seemed to be taking a while to drop, I have went 3 waves without one dropping.  I spent a while farming in Sakura too and only got 1 Mask to show for it (was a while ago so cant quiet remember the time I spent in there)

ive killed him closing in on 120 times, i still only have 3 drops... this is ridiculous.

The odds on that are around we'll say 1 drop per 40-50kills, that doesnt mean in 50 kills you will get a drop. Its a really dodgy method of working out how many will drop per kill so... Even when you put that into perspecitve if its 1:50 in another 30 kills you should have three >.<

It works out at a 4% drop if its 1:25 so take that into consideration :/

Yeah, that's pretty much how it works. Sometimes you can be really, really, REALLY unlucky and kill an oddly large number of the bosses before you get anything. Equally, I've known it to be where you'd get a bandana drop (or even multiple dana drops) off one kill and again for the next kill.
