    If you're too lazy to read that link, its basically that mobs have a chance to drop 0, 1, 2 or 3 items (Probability of X item(s)), and they do that calculating a certain number of times (How many times server count drop rate).

    So the default drop rate is the drop rate if the mob has to drop one for one time. But since there's a chance the mob doesn't drop anything (0 items), then it gets lower on the real drop rate.

    Basically pwdatabase does the calculation for you :3

    So, you have to follow the real drop rate :3


    All the extra info pwdatabase gives is, for instance, if you want to know how many Selee tokens can Noxtouch Culler give at top, it's 10 times * 3 drops = 30! but that's pretty much impossible to happen.

    "Real drop rate" is thee % chance that you get one of that particular item whenever the mob is killed; kill one planeshark, and you have an 8.xx% chance of getting rough fur. If you kill a planeshark and it drops exactly one item, you have a 13.xx chance of getting one
