So Shadow, should I open a new thread again on the same topic? Since the topic is closed i couldn't say my opinion.
@[GA]Shadow Can you tell us the purpose of the poly update ? Btw closing thread after thread to forbid players from talking about updates is a great step forward 
high lvls do not farm mats, they buy from market when they want something, materials farm is for low lvls
+ the damage reduction from the new formula is insane. I used to do runs all day. Now I can't do anything.
You want people to farm mats, but let's face ut. Most poly are useless cz of their bad animations. Only few are okay and they are hella expensive
i would say get lv 88 its the best for drops in hl1, maybe u just had bad luck its happened to me and other times i get 5+ per hour :s keep trying
cant speak about those metins since i always farmed metins in temple, but i always dropped nice there and im sure u know more than me how they drop there :P. sometimes ur lucky and sometimes ur not
The drop chance you can get in equipment (chance to drop double the items) doesn't help you get more poisons, clams, ice marbles etc. It is a chance to drop an extra item everytime you drop something, however the extra item you get can only be an alternative drop (example: horse food, potions, standard skill books like polymorph, leadership etc, blessing scroll, etc). These alternative drops are the items that you can drop in every monster of the game, they're not items that that specific monster drops. Btw some of them are only triggered after a certain level, for example, only after lv90 people start dropping Red and Blue Dragon Blessings (S), but that's not related to your question.
Your character has a base drop rate of 100 and it can go up to 400, I think. The most you can do to increase the drop rate is wearing both the mall glove and game glove, that takes it up to 200. The only time you have 400 drop rate is during the Hunter Hour's Event. Now, the drops you mentioned for the time you spent killing are awful considering you had 2 gloves, and I really don't understand how even in 2 hours of hl1 you only drop 4 Ice Marbles, if you were in a room with a decent amount of golems you should at least drop 6-8 per hour. But whether you don't killed fast enough or in enough quantity, or you just were super unlucky, which can happen since it's metin2, and happens all the time to everyone not dropping anything for 1-2 hours and then in 10 minutes dropping a lot. However, I also think hl1 and hl2 drops are super low and should be increased, at least by 50% to what they are now, because even if you kill full rooms you still drop on average 2 clams per hour, and that's about it normally considering valuable drops.
But you didn't mention your level, are you even lv80+ ? Because before lv80 the only drop you can get in hl1 and hl2 are ice marbles and ice marbles+.

Nice explanation, but that's not related to your question.
Edit to luck, when i finished giant symbol quest, i was farming giant soul for 4 hours, even my friends try to log on and farm it in those 4 hours, than after 4 hours I successed and I was so happy that I spammed with caps on shout and got muted, thug life Tary
