What is your suggestion?: Add a 'safety net' pity drop at x3 average drop rate that comes into effect for the first instance of a drop only, according to your collection log
Is this in OSRS?: No
Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No
How would this benefit Alora?: It would prevent ironman players and Ironman variants (as well as "I'd rather earn it" types) from being essentially 'barred' from gear due to exceedingly terrible rng (Basically the: " '[insert item here]' doesn't exist." joke). This is a problem that can heavily impact account progression in a vastly negative way and even influence players with less patience to quit, knowing they have a 'non zero' chance to literally never obtain said item as a drop. This would only come into effect for the FIRST time drop for a rare item (basically anything 1/400 or greater that isn't on the global rare table). This bonus would go in order down the monster's/boss's effective drop table. Assuming there's multiple rare drops it would work something like:
If there's multiple of the same rarity unobtained drops: "Multiple 1/400 drops, you get drop 1 at kill 1201, then the counter resets and you get item 2 at kill 2402, etc."
If there's multiple unobtained rare drops of different drop rates: "1 drop is 1/400, 1 drop is 1/32000, you get drop 1 at 1201 kills, and drop 2 at 33202 kills"
If you already have a drop, but there are more on the table that are unobtained: "drop 1 is 1/400, drop 2 is 1/800, drop 3 is 1/1200, but you have drop 2 in your collection log, you get drop 1 at 1201 kills, and drop 3 at 4802 kills."
After getting one drop of any particular item in your collection log, this 'safety net' would no longer be in effect for that item across all sources.
As a closing note, I'm aware this could/would never be implemented for drop tables like the gauntlet since they don't drop items from the mobs directly.
