Setting Mon item drops

[NewHope]

This isn't a how do you do this thread.
Its more of a, What number (1/???) makes an item rare?

For normal mobs maybe over 1/10000 ?
For boss mobs 1/1000 ?

Anyone figured out this in a way that makes the rare items not drop once every few boss mobs, and are willing to share?

For rare items off a boss mob is like 1/300, from normal mobs its like
1/100000
or
1/200000
or
1/300000

1/300 is rare? LOL. if it was 1/300 ud expect that item to drop at least 5-10 times per week.. if it was a boss that was killed every 15mins, ud expect 5-10 a day.

on oldskool stuff thats set at 1/8000 for boss's that are killed a lot, eg ZT (1 killed every 15-30min ssay) it would be considered rare... say about 5-10 on server after amonth or 2

sayin taht tho... 1 mob had a mir sword of 1/16000, and is killed every 1hr or 2... that has droped

any thing over 1/8000 is rare.... 1/2000 is rare for a rly hard mob thats killed maybee 1 or 2 times a day

normally mobs... i have items set at like 1/400,000 and they still drop now and then

rare of a norm mob id say is 1/5,000,000

but again...... it all depends on
-how often the boss spawns
-how easy it is

-how many mobs spawn
-how easy it is to mass kill, eg are u gona kil 100 in 10mins, or 10,000?

hope that helps abit

no worries

oh another thing u need to take into account is the usercount obviously... as if theres like 150 ppl on, most boss's are gonna be killed every spawn... however if theres only like 10 ppl on, obv aint gonna be killed round the clock.
but also depends on how many boss's u got spawnin 2 i guess lol

just a lot of stuff to consider!

just gotta guess and tweak as server progress's really.. tahts wot i did
