Question on Drop Rate - RayGun - 2014-11-26
I had a look at how different the drop rates turned out for each of the types of boosts
| Coefficients | actual | promised | diffference | diff / promised | |
| Intercept (base) | 49.614 | 1.000 | 1.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 |
| Greed pendant | 0.831 | 0.017 | 0.000 | -0.017 | |
| Mutant Ribbon Pig familiar | 18.601 | 0.375 | 0.600 | 0.225 | 0.375 |
| 2 x 20% drop equips + Greed pendant | 10.831 | 0.218 | 0.400 | 0.182 | 0.454 |
| 8 x 20% drop equips + Greed pendant + 20% additional drop on Greed | 69.386 | 1.399 | 1.800 | 0.401 | 0.223 |
| 8 x 20% drop equips + Greed pendant + 20% additional drop on Greed + Wolf Underling familiar | 187.636 | 3.782 | 3.800 | 0.018 | 0.005 |
| Greed pendant + 20% additional drop on Greed + Wolf Underling familiar | 58.786 | 1.185 | 1.200 | 0.015 | 0.013 |
| Mutant Ribbon Pig familiar + Greed pendant | 17.071 | 0.344 | 0.600 | 0.256 | 0.427 |
| Greed Pendant + 2x drop USE coupon | 34.986 | 0.705 | 1.000 | 0.295 | 0.295 |
| Showdown | 10.275 | 0.207 | 0.300 | 0.093 | 0.310 |
| Showdown + Greed | 9.486 | 0.191 | 0.300 | 0.109 | 0.363 |
i just made a spreadsheet looking at how much lower the boost is than what is promised
wolf underling appears to have very decent performance. congrats to all who spent the hundreds of millions on it. the drop off may be explained by the drop equips. if so, it may in fact give over the promised 100pc.
a possible theory: the boost is only lower for those which boost both items and meso. wolf underling apparently only boosts items and not meso.
so perhaps something is wrong with their RNG, each drop is not calculated individually and independently of each other or something like that.
well if anyone has any of these others which only boost items, perhaps try them next time. mingu and sr bellflower root appear to be best bet since they go anywhere. I think they are both in mulung/ herb town

Sorry it took me so long to realize why showdown was so low. I forgot about Assassin's mark and Night lord's mark. Those activate on their own and a couple can kill off a monster before they are hit with showdown.
