So I noticed that the corrupted gauntlet isn't shown on the monster drop tables, I want to calculate my drop rate for the enhanced wep seed and just wanted some feed back if I'm doing math correctly lol

 

From my understand generally Alora has a 25% better drop rate across the board than OSRS, eternal status has a 19% boost, and a gaunt booster is another 25%. The wiki says that the enh wep seed is 1/400 from corrupted so this is what I'm doing

 

1.25 (alora boost) x 1.19 (eternal) x 1.25 (gaunt booster) = 1.86 (rounded up being an 86% boost on drop rate vs osrs drop rate)

So 1 - .86 = .14 (the new drop rate) which would be .14 x 400 = 56 so essentially a enh crystal weapon seed would be 1/56? Seems way lower, but could you mathmeticians lecture me if this is correct?

Alora's usual 25% drop boost applied to the OSRS 1/400 drop rate gives a 1/300 base drop rate.

Gauntlet booster of 25% applied gives a rate of 1/225.

Eternal drop modifier of 19% stacked onto this yields 1/189.

 

Dunno if this is correct but it's how I've interpreted drop chance.

I do not believe this is quite correct, but again I could be wrong.

When looking at drop chances, in this case being a 1/400, we have to look at the following.

You are not reducing the drop rate to 0.14%, you are increasing your odds at the 1/400 by 86%. This means you can look at it like the following:

The base rate is 1/400, by increasing the drop rate by 86%, your drop rate theoretically becomes 1.86/400. If you then divide 400 by the new 1.86 drop rate, this gives you 400/1.86 = 215

This means that with all of those boosters active the effective new drop rate would go from 1/400 to 1:215.

I believe this is how the math checks out but again I could be wrong.

Hi, please check out this guide on drop rate calculations

https://www.alora.io...-drop-boosters/

With 69% boost you’re looking at a 1/236.68 drop rate

Dunno if this is correct but it's how I've interpreted drop chance.

This is how I've always interpreted drop rate, I don't believe it multiplies but instead adds, could be wrong though. Regardless, it'd either be this way ( DR*(1 - dr increase)) compounded, or the way SSS has outlined resulting in 400/1.86.

86% boost on drop rate vs osrs drop rate) So 1 - .86 = .14 (the new drop rate) which would be .14 x 400 = 56

 

 

Here's the math issue...

 

You can't do 1 - %boost to obtain drop rate.

 

Why not?

 

Say you had double the drop rate -> 2x rate -> 200% drop rate -> 200-100 -> 100% boost -> 1

 

1 - 1 = 0 

 

and that makes no sense.

 

Here's how i'd do the math...

Lastly, keep in mind that drop rate and probability of receiving a drop in X kills are different.

here's how you'd calculate how deserving you are of a drop  :D

alternatively, you can use the probability calculator plugin on runelite if you're not a math person  ;)

As the legendary Michael Dapaah reiterates, Three Quick Maff. 

 

Interesting facts to know, I always enjoy seeing @Real Alan's explanations of drop rates. The mans the Albert Einstein of Alora!

Seeing all this, makes me think you really smart and me stupid

Thank you for sharing helping the dudes out!
