Drop Rate Formula:
| From: | To: |
The OSRS Nex Drop Rate Calculator helps players determine the probability of receiving at least one drop from Nex in Old School RuneScape after a certain number of attempts. This is useful for planning bossing trips and managing expectations.
The calculator uses the probability formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the complement of the probability of not getting the drop in all attempts.
Details: Understanding drop probabilities helps players set realistic expectations, plan resource allocation, and determine how many attempts might be needed to have a reasonable chance at receiving a drop.
Tips: Enter the drop probability per attempt (typically a very small decimal) and the number of attempts you plan to make. The calculator will show the probability of receiving at least one drop in that many attempts.
Q1: What are typical drop rates for Nex?
A: Drop rates vary by specific item but are generally very low, often in the range of 1/100 to 1/1000 or lower for rare items.
Q2: Does killing Nex in a team affect drop rates?
A: Yes, drop rates are typically divided among team members, though the exact mechanics vary by specific drop system.
Q3: Is the drop probability constant across all attempts?
A: Yes, OSRS generally uses consistent drop rates that don't change based on previous attempts (no bad luck protection).
Q4: How accurate are community-reported drop rates?
A: While Jagex rarely confirms exact drop rates, community data collected from thousands of kills provides reasonably accurate estimates.
Q5: Can I use this calculator for other OSRS bosses?
A: Yes, the formula works for any drop with a fixed probability, though you'll need to know the specific drop rate for that boss.
