Understanding Drop Rates

[sharkdeed]

Hey all !

Is there any tutorial to understand how rates are working ? For example, in the text there is a note that says "Note 2: Value is in percents (100 means 100%)"

In card rates : 

item_rate_card: 500 item_rate_card_boss: 300item_drop_card_min: 10item_drop_card_max: 10000 
What exactly these lines mean ? We have a regular card rates and same thing for bosses. Also we have min and max. 

Lets say, i wanna set the regular card rate to : 2% and boss card rate to : %0.5. Then i probably should make item_rate_card: 2 and boss item_rate_card_boss: 0.5. In this case, what should i type to min and max ?

Thanks

Work that way!

1=0.01%, 10=0.1%, 100=1%, 1000=10%, 10000=100%

Work that way!

1=0.01%, 10=0.1%, 100=1%, 1000=10%, 10000=100%

Thanks for you answer ! 

But my question is i really want to understand what all those lines mean. Lets say i wanna make boss cards to 3% where should i edit and what should i type ?

item_rate_card: 200 (regular card rate: 2%)

item_rate_card_boss: 50 (boss card rate: 0.5%)

item_drop_card_min: 10

item_drop_card_max: 10000

Additionally, always divide your custom rates to 100.

For example, I'll put 350 in.

item_rate_card: 350 
350 / 100 = 3.5% chance to drop a card on your server.

Another example, for boss cards.

item_rate_card_boss: 10 
That would be 10 / 100 = 0.1% chance to drop a boss card on your server.

Rule of Thumb: Always divide your rates to 100.

Take into consideration that cards drop at 0.01%. When adjusting rates, multiply 1/100th of the number you input by the base drop rate (in this case, 0.01%). If your item_rate_card is 500 (5.00), regular monster cards will drop at (0.01 x 5.00)%, or 0.05%. Similarly, if your item_rate_card_boss is 100 (1.00), boss cards will drop at (0.01 x 1.00)%, or 0.01%.
