Talk:Item Drop modifiers

should this maybe be linked in the guides section?

Is there a reason sidekicks/companions are not on here? --Zillow--

Max level used for Grumpy old smuggler so sorting by increase doesn't put it at the bottom. --Jesus 04:23, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Calculation method

X% - base drop rate
Y% - bonus drop
Do we know whether total drop rate is X+Y% or X*(1+Y)%? --Shikao 11:50, 7 December 2010 (PST)

It's multiplicative, not additive. If the base drop rate is 50%, a +10% item drop rate will raise the total chance to 55%. Additive's too powerful; makes it far too easy to make things a guaranteed drop. Cristiona

What Cris said. I'll add a note to clarify that. --Muhandes 01:22, 8 December 2010 (PST)

It made more sense this way, but wanted to be sure. Thanks for answer! =] --Shikao 04:22, 8 December 2010 (PST)
