NTower11: Yes, we're sure. Drops are determined at the very start of a quest, before the quest even loads (in the split second between you hitting Yes and the "Hallway" view (or initial screen of a tournament run) is shown.

This has been determined since if a battle crashes mid-game and you reload it, if there was any drop, the drop will remain the same. This has further been verified by people who immediately disconnect their Internet connection upon the start of a quest. At the end of the quest, the game will time out. Reloading the game with an Internet connection will bring about the exact same drops as in the first run and you can repeat this as many times as you want, the drops will remain the same.
