Drop rates: looting and DrItem(number)R ?

[Aarnas Nago]

Hello people =)
First i would mention to apologize for my bad grammar, but i hope you can understand me correct tho can you. Thanks for reading my threat that far also :D

As far as i know .. the table [looting] in ItemInfoServer.shn stands for declaring the chance of dropping an item from the certain drop group. The question here is why every single table [looting] in ItemInfoServer.shn is declared to 15000 and does that stands for 15%.
________________________________________________________________________

Also i was in complete confusion at the table [DrItem1R]. As far as i again know e.e it stands for the chance of picking the selected Drop Group. But i was wondering the value 500000 stands for 50% and 50000 stands for 5% there or? >.<

Sorry NextIdea i am Bulgarian with Common language knowledge.. that one in wiki u present is advanced English x:
I can understand the words but i don't understand the sense. What does that have to do with my question and how it do it. How to calculate 100000 for e.g in percents for example will be clean, but whatever ^-^

Then just think them as normal numbers.

For the first case 100000 means 100% drop rate.
If you add comma(for better visual) you get this 100,000.
So if you want 1% drop rate then you write the number 1 and add 3 zero-s to end.

The second case, you just add 4 zero-s to end.

But what about the looting? its all 15000 why and what does that means? o: Really curious.

[NextIdea]

It was asked some time ago how exactly the dropping system works and it was answered, if I remember correctly, but I'm too lazy to search for it.

[Aarnas Nago]

Lol that help :p
Im keep trying to find it from google but it failed. Nowhere is explained about looting's purpose lol.

[Tronic]

looting is actually a time 15000 = 15 secs

[Aarnas Nago]

Oh but it does not make sense. Why the chance of drop should be in seconds and any of the tables are 15000. 15 seconds of what. o;

[Tronic]

Looting isnt a chance of drop, is a looting time its like the vanish one... you have 15 secs to get the item before other ppl can get it

[Aarnas Nago]

and the vanish is the time when the item will disappear. It does makes sense now =D Thank you all <3
