Rune Drop Equation:
| From: | To: |
The Rune Drop Equation calculates the probability of obtaining at least one rune drop after multiple attempts in Diablo 2. It's based on the complementary probability of not getting a drop in any of the attempts.
The calculator uses the probability equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation calculates the probability of getting at least one success (rune drop) in k independent attempts, each with probability p.
Details: Understanding drop probabilities helps players optimize their farming strategies, estimate time investment required for specific rune drops, and make informed decisions about game progression.
Tips: Enter the drop probability per attempt (between 0 and 1) and the number of attempts (positive integer). All values must be valid (0 ≤ p ≤ 1, k ≥ 1).
Q1: What does this probability represent?
A: It represents the probability of getting at least one rune drop after k attempts, given a per-attempt drop probability p.
Q2: How do I find the drop probability for specific runes?
A: Drop probabilities vary by monster type, area level, and player settings. Consult Diablo 2 drop rate calculators or community resources for specific values.
Q3: Does this account for multiple drops in the same attempt?
A: No, this equation calculates the probability of at least one drop. It doesn't account for the possibility of multiple drops in a single attempt.
Q4: Are drop attempts independent?
A: Yes, the equation assumes each drop attempt is independent, which is generally true for monster kills in Diablo 2.
Q5: Can I use this for other item types?
A: Yes, this probability formula applies to any independent event with a constant probability per attempt, not just rune drops.
