[quote=“JesteR”]Every item only works on the character that it is equipped on, why would you even think otherwise ?
Not a bug, and codex does not need editing.[/quote]
I was under the impression that some formulas like gold find, luck and item drop rate worked across characters so e.g. it didn’t matter if main or hireling kills a monster. Are you saying that if I have max item drop rate on the hireling and 0% on the main, I will gain more items, if the hireling did all the kills than if the main did all the kills? This post seems to hint that the item drop rate works on the average of both characters:
If the gold find, luck and item drop rate formulas work on an average of both characters, I would expect the hunter ring to work the same, since to me the phrasing “Shrines will always spawn 1-3 Shrine Guardian” falls into the same category of “map affecting” affixes as gold find, luck and item drop rate. Unfortunately, none of these formulas are in the codex, which leads to ambiguous conclusions.
If I’m completely wrong here, I apologise. Just a new player trying to figure out how the game works.
