A new myth in the Tower?

Well, there I was in the Tower - yet again - trying to get my musketeer her Pagoda Paragon badge. And I've equipped her with the Nefarious Novablaster. When some girl says "Did you know that equipping Nefarious weapons in the tower makes fights harder? And decreases the chance of drops? According to my experience." And when I say "That's bull", she says "I'm just making a suggestion."
Just where do they get this claptrap? I left that team-up, I wasn't going to hear her complain and moan every floor about how I ( with my Nefarious weapon ) is making it difficult to fight or get drops.
In my experience ( considerable ) having a nefarious weapon makes a battle easier and doesn't make any difference in drops.

I've heard another myth, and this one will make Ratbeard laugh out loud. A privateer I met in the Tower swears that if one of the team drinks the elixir, drop rates go up! He says whenever someone has drank it, he receives something good, so if you're looking for a team up that will allow you to be Nefarious, look for Careful Alejandro Hobbes. He will thank you for drinking!

It's just myths, nothing more than that. Drop rates are drop rates! No group I have been in even cares about the dumb myths anymore. We just do our run and leave as happy pirates! All we do is pray to the drop gods for good drops, and we go from there.

reminds me of another games myth, destiny, people for some reason still believe looting a chest that only gives materials will reduce the chance of an exotic drop in the next chest(exotic is the best tier)

Would you like to do a Tower run with me this weekend, zuto?. We can put aside our differences and get to know each other, maybe even learn some respect for each other. Please let me know what you think.

I'm not sure if this is true or not, but another one is if you drink the potion you don't get any boss drops.

How about 5 pm eastern time, 3 hours should be enough for a run

I can assure you, that is false. just as all and any other rumors you have heard about the tower: for instance, no, using doubloons doesnt ruin your chances or getting loot. that is all stuff people made up to mess with others.

Thank you, Robert, again, for a wonderful Tower run. And to Midnight Bandit ( Harry ) who certainly showed me a thing or two in the 1v1pvp we did after! I won't be making those mistakes again! Lol, maybe you'll turn me into a pvp player! ( maybe ).
