Gold or all items?

Just a bit of bad luck. Though under the effects of the potion, I did notice that monsters were dropping items/gold more often that they were before. Especially crap items. But for rare items, if the drop rate is 0.05% and it doubles to 0.10% or 2% to 4%, it would be hardly noticeable. But for common items such as Fireball Page 5 or 6 from werewolves, I notice they were dropping more often. It's sort of eerie to windmill 5-6 wolves to death and they all drop fireball pages.
