OSRS ToA Drop Rate Formula:
| From: | To: |
The OSRS ToA (Tombs of Amascut) drop rate formula calculates the overall probability of obtaining a drop after multiple attempts. It's based on the mathematical principle of cumulative probability for independent events.
The calculator uses the drop rate formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the probability of getting at least one drop after k independent attempts, each with probability p.
Details: Understanding drop probabilities helps players estimate the number of attempts needed for rare items, plan their gameplay strategy, and set realistic expectations for item acquisition in Old School RuneScape.
Tips: Enter the drop probability per attempt (typically a small decimal value) and the number of attempts. Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What does this formula calculate?
A: It calculates the probability of getting at least one drop after k attempts, given a per-attempt drop probability p.
Q2: Are drop attempts independent in OSRS?
A: Yes, most drop mechanics in OSRS are designed as independent events, meaning each attempt has the same probability regardless of previous results.
Q3: How do I find the drop probability for specific items?
A: Drop rates are typically discovered through community data gathering or occasionally revealed by Jagex. Check OSRS wikis for specific item drop rates.
Q4: Does this work for all OSRS content?
A: This formula applies to most drop mechanics, though some special cases with guaranteed drops or pity systems may have different calculations.
Q5: What's the relationship between attempts and probability?
A: The probability approaches 1 (100%) as the number of attempts increases, but never quite reaches it due to the exponential nature of the formula.
