In practice, drop rates are 78% of what they are purported to be.

Thanks, HV STAT.

CODE

    if( array_key_exists($mid, $monster_trophies) && ($always_trophy || (mt_rand(1, 10) == 1)) ) {
        $loot = array('loottype' => 'trophy', 'id' => $monster_trophies[$mid], 'name' => $HV->get_item_name($monster_trophies[$mid]));
        $HV->Player->itemcount_inc($loot['id'], 1);
        return $loot;
    } else {
        return loottable_random($qualityboost, $increase_drops ? 50 : 0, $increase_drops ? 1000 : 0, 0, $itemtype);
    }

Interesting code. The last sentence means we have better chance to get something and something? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

2nd and 3rd variables seem to determine drop chance and loot quality respectively

*overall drop chance and equipment drop chance.

I don't think it's drop chance, as this part of code should be present when the drop is confirmed. More likely to be something about loot tier.

Edit:
So I thought it in the wrong way...interesting.

Well no, that's the purpose of that fragment of code.. it's called whenever a monster dies to check if it should drop a trophy or not, and if it doesn't, it calls the general loot generator to roll on whether anything else should drop.

Can we have a fragment of code for loot quality too (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Heh, I bet Tenb actually gives us part of the code, but its either a totally useless part or a fragment thats impossible to understand without context.

nah he's probably too busy killing diablo

Na, just persistent

In Tenb we trust. (IMG:[bbs.pramool.com] http://bbs.pramool.com/webboard/pic/20.gif)

Is that what's on the back of a credit?

Not quite... It's from the writing beside the entrance to Snowflake's shrine. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Shouldn't it be ye who pray? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I do that every time I shrine something (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Prayer only work in bazaar; basically you're praying for someone to do something stupid, which has 100% chance to happen.

And I have a very simple answer why praying to Snowflake won't work; just imagine yourself praying to her, then imaging her expression.

All I could imagine is a smug grin on her face...




BTW... My original post was a comment on skillchip being persistent. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)
