The wiki says that — except for dungeons —DR (diminishing returns) is “character based.”
Does that mean if I dedicate one toon to farming one single area, she will always get DR’d?

Here are some scenarios, which of these will get toon A DR’d?

  • I farm location X with toon A for 20 mins then switch to toon B for 30 mins to to map exploration, then return to farming X with A, etc.
  • I farm location X with toon A for 20 mins, then WvW with toon A for 30 mins, then return to farming X with A, etc.
  • I farm location X with toon A for 20 mins, then logout until the next day; the next day, I farm location X again for 20 mins, etc.

(20 mins in each scenario because I don’t believe that’s enough to get me DR’d by itself)

In my experience (NOT scientific!!!) farming holograms for coffers 20 mins a day got me DR’d in scenarios 1 and 3 (didn’t pay attention to scenario 2 enough to make a judgement) where I would go from kitten coffers to 30 coffers each 20 min run.

Personally, I don’t think DR should be applied in any of the three scenarios!

DR is just a pain in the kitten to monitor anyway due to the random nature of drops, sometimes you might get junk due to rng and not dr but we put it down to dr, other times it is dr, it is really hard to monitor.
