Hello fellow Alora gamers,

 

This is something I've been wondering about ever since I started playing the server;

When you view the droptable of a monster, the droprates will show up in percentage droprate (e.g. 0.2%) which is pretty impractical in my eyes.

To figure out the droprate, you'd have to manually calculate it everytime, and for some droprates you won't even get the exact dropate (example; some droprates can show as 1/1276,451 depending on the droprate percentage of an item).

 

My suggestion is that instead of showing the dropates in percentages, it should be shown with the exact droprate value. Here's an example of my suggestion:
p0msz5M.png

Please note the droprate version inside the red box.

 

I actually spoke to Omicron about the % droprates too and he told me that "it was just easier this way" but I just don't see how. Why would you want to spend time to manually convert the rates instead of just having to click on the droptable viewer and instantly seeing the actual droprate?
(I don't have anything against Omicron, just putting it out there. He's a very down-to-earth person).

 

I've also spoken to a bunch of players in-game and they all agreed that this idea would be much better and easier to use.

 

Please let me know what you think. If you'd like to see this change, I'd appreciate a comment or an upvote to show support so we can hopefully have this implemented.

Thank you for reading my suggestion and have a great day.  <3 

 

Regards,

Bald Man 2


I am a bald man.

Support all the way. People in osrs don't go by percentage chance, and neither do people here for that matter.

Support, Could be a nice QoL. Many people are always asking for the drop rate.

I suggested something quite similar to this back in November 2018 but it got declined. Hopefully this gets relooked into. Support.

This looks really good. This way we don't have to calculate it back! Would love to see this added.

 

Support.

Support.

 

Not to mention some of the dr's are glitched, for example if you search little nightmare it will show it as 0.06% 34379f32151bdfd8e2dee9d0ed421441.png

 

But then if you look into the nightmare drop table it will show it as 0.05% aa3e5836b7bae72d3e84b0e89c3fad57.png

 

 

This applies to a lot of other drops - this is another example but instead the dr decreases when u look at the npc table - 38c7cca4e6e12364b66871ecdb3e94f1.pnge634601facca27df849cee4ee8cfd733.png

 

I'm pre sure I made a bug report on this a while back
