TH is a pretty big topic; So I'll just throw down some stuff.
Not claiming to be right, but here's my idea of it.

How exactly does TH work?:

Some people say you get a drop by killing the mob and the system doing a "Roll" and it lands between 2 set numbers. Harder the drop, smaller the range is.


Example:
Mob X, has a drop called K-Club(Creativity lacking)
K-Club has a "Roll Range" of 500-800, without TH.

With each additional tier of TH, the range is raised by a %, thus making your drop-rate higher.

*****Making numbers up here, I'm sure there much smaller*****
TH0(Just Joe-Shmoe being there) wouldn't have any boost in the range.
TH1 5% boost in range;
TH2 10% boost in range;

So this way everyone /THF or more THF main would raise the rate a bit, and spare people in a PT wouldn't raise the rate at all, cause its still just 1 /random.

I'd guess that +1 TH armor, would just raise the rate by just a smaller amount.

Ever gotten a bad string of /random? I'm sure thats what happens with drops for some mobs like Ose, who seem to have a great drop rate for some, and horrific for others.

Mobs with harder to get drops, like... Lord of Oznozo, would have a small range, maybe 600-610 or something of that sort?
(Thus the % boost from TH would effect it not nearly as much, but still a bit)

Reason why I think this is how it works?

~
Just alota farming with various people.
Farmed with a friend with TH2, drops were better, but even more so I've noticed a big increase in drop rate when in a farming PT of /thf's (3-4 to be exact) while spending countless hours farming Slime Oils in Korokola T. Probably not the best reason, but thats what I think it is.

BuGGaTon :
either ALL of you are going out there without and sort of TH to do all this killing (reasonabley stupid) or at least half of you are lying.

no...its just...i dropped my th2 a few to many times and now its broken...

dont get me started on rogberry...(quit before the item pop 100% drop)...hes half the reason i fuckn quit an now my char cant be reactivated...bitches...
...quit counting after 0/100...

[Eaze]

Just going to list my latest camps, far too many to stay interesting.

0/1 Ga'Bhu the Unvanquished
0/3 Mischievious Mikolas
0/4 Fyuu the Seabellow
1/18 Orctrap
1/20 Dune Widow (went 1/1 and sold it, idiot...)
1/24 Odqan, 80+ hours of camping

Have had a really terrible run of luck lately, unless you count this:

1/2 Fuma Sune-ate from Copycat KSNM
3/2 Spiked Finger Gauntlets from The Final Bout (2 SFG on one orb on my birthday ^^)

Pretty much what I've learned of TH2 is that if it's something for someone else, it works. For me, not so much. Got 2 Elshimo Marbles in less than 20 minutes today helping a friend with the Teleport-Yhoat quest (he passed the first lol). Went directly to Bibiki Bay because another friend was leveling BST there and saw Intulo. Claimed, killed, nothin'. Just a small example of what seems to be the trend over the past year or so.

[Prodigy]

52 Kirins dead, 0 W. Abj: Legs

[Vendeenster]

decided to camp the infamous yag NMs and in 4 days I got the results
1/2 Mee Deggi
1/23 Quu Domi

[Kandi_]

the only drops ive ever gotten from NMs, were either AF/mission/quest oriented, or something every player would just throw away from being useless.

personally ill stick to BCNMs, a little bit more entertaining than sitting around forever and not getting sleep.

[Kitashi]

1/1 Mee Deggi (pre) no TH
1/1 Quu Domi (pre) TH1
2/2 Ose (lost first AJ despite winning the lot because leader broke PT after I won) TH2 / no TH
0/1 Hoo Mjuu TH1
9/12 Mysticmaker Profblix (usually TH1, sometimes TH2 or no TH)
0/4 Deadly Dodo TH1

Tried to camp VE a few times, but competition each time, and without /RNG there's not really much chance of getting claim as far as I've seen... now that everyone and their dog knows the trick of popping it.

[Dingberry]

2/4 Shikigami weapon (One for me and one for another friend)
1/3 Assault Jerkin
1/17 on Quu Domi
0/30+ on Hoo Mjuu
