My drop rate since the update has been dismal. The only quests I've completed are those in which a friend gifted the necessary item to me. The vast majority of the quests I have now all require some type of phenomena in a particular room, and I've only had one pop up since the update...in the wrong room. But nothing dropped in that room when I searched it anyhow, so I don't suppose it would have mattered anyway. I also had the "rare charm" running all week that is supposed to increase the likelihood of finding items, and used other charms on top of it, in addition to tips and helpers, and still nothing. Seriously, I had a combined increased likelihood of 60% of finding an item, and I'm not even getting duplicates of items that I already have (like I used to). I prefer to find new items, but I still would rather get some duplicates for trading instead of a big 'ol nothing! I have one quest that is completed by "helping friends". I help friends regulary every day, and nothing. That quest has been up since the day of the update, so it might be coincidental, but I don't think so. I'm incredibly frustrated, because this game is the one game that I really enjoy playing daily, and all the fun has been sucked right out of it. I can keep searching rooms, but it seems pointless when I can't find any items, EVER, and I have to rely on friends to gift quest items to me.
