Drop Rates - Derick - 08-07-2005
I don't quite understand drop rates. How do you figure them out? Do the monsters (i.e.: Booma) have to be killed in a row, or is it out of order? I'm sure this probably seems n00bish, and i'm sorry for that. Please no flaming, either. Anything else anyone can tell me about drop rates would be appreciated.

Basicaly if u look somewhere and it says you have a 1/5 chance of getting this item it just states a probabilty of ur chances to get the item.
But im not 100% sure thi scould be better answerd by kefka or someone alonmg thoes lines

Exactly, the conversion of fractions to percentage. Also, think of this for a good example, 1/830. Choose a number from 1 to 830, if you guessed (guess is determined by kill) 564 then you get the rare.

or couldnt you look at it like this
a 1/4 drop rate(never seen in game)
kill one:
25% of getting item
75% of getting nothing
Kill two:
25% of getting nothing
50% of getting one
25% of getting two
so on and so forth
could you actually see it like that?

I'm not sure what you mean, Fabo :S
It's rather easy to understand, if the rate is 1/214, any time you slay that monster you have a 1/214 odds of getting the item.
1st monster you kill = 1/214 odds of getting the item
2nd monster you kill = 1/214 odds of getting the item
50th monster you kill = 1/214 odds of getting the item
100th monster you kill = 1/214 odds of getting the item
214th monster you kill = 1/214 odds of getting the item
428th monster you kill = 1/214 odds of getting the item
etc.

good explanaiton kefka.
for the most i just think it's plain unluck and luck, but the odd's are there, and are they good you will probaly get the item.

... and there's no (known) way to rig getting the item. (ex: you can't use BTT, that's just a made up stuff)

Beat Time Theory, a rumor (a false one) that the beat time affects the drops of enemies. The beat time is in the lower right corner when you have the menu up in-game. It is inaccurate while offline though..... but it doesn't matter.
