Lmfao! You still have Refunds, my young padawan.

I didn't code it so I can't answer that 100%, but I would assume like anything else it would be multiplicative.

Although multiplication is just an advanced form of addition, so both I guess.

If it was additive then you'd be nearly guaranteed a drop from Nex every kill.

Multiplicative, but there's more to it than that.


Droprates work as follows:

For any NPC, there's a list of items that can be dropped (some items can be dropped twice but with different amounts, such as coins). For every entry in this list, there's a certain chance (out of 1000) that it will be dropped on kill. For example, a very rare drop may have a drop chance of 10 (so 10/1000 or 1%).

Whenever the NPC is killed, the server goes over every single entry in the droptable for that NPC and generates a random number between 1 and 1000 (including those 2 numbers). If this number is smaller or equal to the drop chance, the item is dropped with the appropriate amount. In theory, you could kill an NPC and have 10 different items drop in one kill (although this happens very rarely).

If you're wearing a ring of wealth (or have an ex-ex-parrot following you or have one in your inventory), this drop chance is increased by 12%, meaning a 1% drop chance will increase to a 1.12% drop chance, or a 11.2/1000 chance (this is rounded down and becomes 11/1000 or 1.1%).
If there's an event going on, then the drop chances for the NPC('s) involved in the event increase by 20%, so an item with a 1% drop chance now has 1.2% drop chance (12/1000).
If there's an event going on and you wear a RoW/parrot, the drop chance is increased by 20% + 12% = 34%, then a 1% chance becomes a 1.34% chance (13/1000).

The highest extra drop chance anyone could get is during an event, with a RoW/parrot, wearing a whip of fortune and using its spec on the NPC once = 20% + 12% + 14% + 1% = 47%, so a very rare drop of 1% becomes 1.47% or 14/1000. An item with 1.5% chance then becomes 2.205% (or 22/1000) etc.

I hope that clears it up (and isn't too confusing)

Yeah that does clear it up, thanks

So theoretically someone could get every ultra rare nex loot

Holy shit, this is amazing!

Great job Rapsey...!

Yup, maybe about once every 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 kills?

Give or take a few zeroes.

Lovely work as always, Rapsey.
