Do Drop Rate% & XP% Items contribute to Army Points or Not?

I always (until today) thought that Drop Rate% & XP% items contributed to AP, and hence not good to take to PvP.

The above appears to indicate they are "free" statistics, and thus can be taken to PvP safetly (without making the army weaker)

If you looked on non-hero items you may be able to get a much clearer picture.

XP adds to GS. But something seems to be off when it comes to hero items.

Perfect thread... Claiming something like drop/exp is not contributing... and the sample is all hero rare weapons! cheers

Sigh... Now to prove you wrong.
Unit items are really noticeable, no doubt about it.

i have a 30 endu/30 armor godlike (bc1, though my few bc2 items follow the same pattern of costing AP), costs 45 AP, and 30 endu/30 armor/18 exp bonus, costs 52.

lazy links if you don't believe:

Hero items simply have lower AP per stat point so it might happen that eg. droprate would be 0.4 AP, but displayed as 0. You should take a look at epics/godlikes, and not +4exp or such low value.

Even my lazy comparison proves that exp/drop count towards AP even for heroes.

rare melee 11 str 10 -> 10 AP
epic melee 10 str 10 exp 16 -> 11 AP (lower battle stat, higher AP).

Seriously it's just a matter of rounding, so if you're lucky to get a hero item with low drop/exp, it won't cost you more AP.

Fyrr, thanks for your two very good examples. Copy of Fyrr's items:

Do Drop Rate% & XP% Items contribute to Army Points or Not? 3uqt

So 18% experience is about 7 GS (at least on non hero items).

Oh ... and nice items you have Fyrr Basketball

This topic isn't about my items, dammit, those were just easiest to compare, but aww thanks. Both for heavies and I waste lots of armor by overcapping. Would be perfect for elves though ;p

Hm, would be nice to know the exact drop/exp/other stats AP values in general. (cough, devs?)

(and thanks for posting pics, i never have enough patience)
