Talk:Nymph

Lost Girl has different stats than Nymph...is it possible to kill a Lost Girl without it "transforming"?? - 71.90.44.109 08:36, 20 November 2013 (UTC)


 * If other (actual) friendly NPCs are any indication, a bucket of Lava, carefully contained and dumped out just outside of the range that triggers her transformation, might be the answer you seek. Of course, that takes a bit more work than simply letting her transform and then killing her. 173.228.18.230 18:25, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

After first encounter…
From the notes: "The nymph won't appear as lost girl anymore after 1st encounter". I'm quite sure this is incorrect; perhaps it wasn't in an older version? I'm playing 1.2.2 and the lost girl has appeared in my world numerous times.

nomination of trivia for deletion...
Is the line "Could be inspired by numerous characters in popular culture that bait heroes by appearing harmless and in need of assistance." too obvious, too uncertain (both of which would violate the style guide), or neither? To me, it feels really unnecessary. --Macks2008 (talk) 03:28, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
 * To be honest, most trivia s pretty frivolous. There's not much need for a committee or anything for something that small- go ahead and remove stuff you feel is out of place or make changes and improvements as you see fit. It's a wiki, after all, so if someone does screw something up, it doesn't take a lot of work to set it back the way it was. Be bold and go nuts. Gearzein (talk) 03:35, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Farming for Metal Detector
So, like basically every player, I'm trying to make the cellphone. I need to get the metal detector but can't seem to find a nymph. I have a tunnel reaching from one end of the snow biome to the other, around 884 feet below surface, and am using battle potions. I've managed to grab like 15 depth meters from the farm but no nymph has been generous enough to sacrifice itself to me. Does anyone have any tips on how to get her to appear? - MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 15:43, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * As of the update, they seem to spawn frequently near hell. I've noticed at least 2 distinct nymph spawns, and possibly more, near hell.--Macks2008 (talk) 05:17, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, I get the feeling Nymphs were never quite as rare as people thought -- they're just passive and stand still in the dark, rather than seeking out and attacking players, so they're easy to miss. Once I got a Lifeform Analyzer and started paying attention to it while exploring underground, it didn't take long to find them (a few of them, actually). I would've shot right past them had I not had that item to alert me. That said, the forum is generally the place to go to ask for game tips. Equazcion  ( talk ) 05:23, 21 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Normalmode droprate 50% ARE YOU sure?
I had many, MANY very questionable situations with these droprates. Getting 5 banners from an enemy, but not a single item that was supposed to have a 2% droprate. Getting 6 Sniper rifles and not one rifle scope. And for Nymphs I killed 8 and got two detectors, this is not as unlikely as my other situations, but it's only the tip of the iceberg. Where do you guys get these droprates from? They seem vastly inaccurate.

 * Because of the way statistics work, a single person's anomalous experience doesn't have any bearing on the actual rates- a 2% droprate doesn't guarantee a drop every 50 kills, or even every 50,000. These droprates come directly from the source code and have a fixed probability. Whether or not your experience lines up with that varies depending on how the RNG feels that day, but ultimately the odds remain the same regardless of how many times they're tested.

100% sure 50% drop
This is completely random drop chance based around the number stated. As for not getting the rifle scope, you're just unlucky that's all. For example, when you kill an enemy that has an item of two percent drop chance, the game randomly selects a chance of you not/getting the item. If the game happens to land on a chance where acquire the item; it is only a 2% that will happen. Percentages are not entirely accurate, for Mister the Epic Ninja got the Rod of Discord on his 8th episode. It is possible that the game selects the item twice in a row. I killed two giant bats; they both dropped the Trifold map. LordofEditing (talk) 16:44, 3 January 2016 12:00+ (GMT)
