What is your suggestion?:
A detailed thread on how purples are calculated at raids and how drop boosters, raid boosters & donor rank impact this.
Is this in OSRS?:
Yes, via wiki and online calcs.
Has this suggestion been accepted already?:
No.
How would this benefit Alora?:
I think it's fair to say the vast majority of mid-end game players time is spent at raids, specifically COX as most start there.
You can be spending 100s of hours in these and it would be great to know exactly how to maximise these hours spent.
The current confusion about how, for example, drop boosters work is rampant.
Is it a flat increase by 15%? does it increase the frequency of purples? Does it increase the quality of the purple IF you roll one? (How i personally think it works)
It is confirmed that the uber + donator "boosted drop rate %" increase applies to all raids, but where? And how?

COX:
What is the difference between a extra donor item and a "lucky bonus item"
My understanding is that the "% chance of an extra item in raids" is whats rolled per item, up to your "maximum loot in raids" - this doesnt explain what this extra item roll is.
TOB & TOA:
1. How does donator perks "maximum loot in raids" work in TOB & TOA? It doesnt appear to give extra rolls at purps or additional items like it does in COX.
2. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but no one has ever rolled a double item from TOB or TOA? Why is it possible to roll multiple purps at COX but not the others?
Given TOB & TOA are far harder than COX, it seems odd that the majority of the donor perks, specifically at higher levels, only seem to impact COX.
I will also offer my time to write the thread itself if Omi / staff don't have the time, just send me the info.
Huge support. So many people say so many different things about cox rates, minimum points needed, max points that is pointless getting anything more. WE NEED CLARITY. There can’t possibly be a minimum pts needed as I’ve seen Moe get 0 point purple in cox mass event, also there surely can’t be a cap of 8,000 points as this would render large scale cox & point gaining completely useless? I have time and time again found myself wondering but nobody has any good answer. Please give us this info.
After some research it seems there are multiple posts about this issue dating ‘23 & ‘24but not one of them has a reply from @Omicron himself. We deserve the right to have more clarity on this especially seeing as we are pumping a lot of gp/$ into donator ranks but when it comes to cox nobody has a clue where we stand with our base chance, rank, boosters etc. Freedom of information!
This would definitely be something helpful to clarify what exactly we're all grinding towards, if whatever boosts we use, etc even play a factor in the drop table. Just something to justify the back end of raids and what we're all working towards.
not only for cox but wondering also how it works for tob and toa (the toa % plugin seems to be more accurate for osrs) doesnt seem to work well on alora
SUPPORT Ive always been just annoyed at not having a set like hey this is how many pts you need and if you dont meet said threshold the odds are lowered for example
Support! - As a newbie to it all, i'm going to be learning/doing these very soon and would like a detailed description as well! I think it would greatly benefit the community as a whole to be honest.
Can we also get an answer if group cox has worse rates than solo? The amount of purples ive seen in group cox is extremely low, even if I'm getting around the same amount of points that im getting in a solo
