1. What is the Pet Drop Rate Formula?

The pet drop rate formula calculates the probability of obtaining at least one pet drop after a certain number of kills in RuneScape 3. It's based on the complementary probability of not getting the pet in any of the kills.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the probability formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Probability of getting at least one pet
• \( p \) — Base drop probability per kill
• \( k \) — Number of kills attempted

Explanation: The formula calculates the complement of the probability of not getting the pet in all k kills.

3. Importance of Drop Rate Calculation

Details: Understanding drop probabilities helps players estimate the effort required to obtain rare pets and plan their gameplay strategy accordingly.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the base drop probability (typically a very small decimal like 0.0001) and the number of kills. The calculator will show the cumulative probability of obtaining the pet.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does the result percentage mean?
A: It represents the probability that you would have obtained at least one pet drop after the specified number of kills.

Q2: Why is the base probability so small?
A: Pet drops in RS3 are extremely rare, often with probabilities ranging from 1/1000 to 1/10000 or even lower for some bosses.

Q3: Does killing more monsters guarantee a pet?
A: No, the probability approaches but never reaches 100%. Each kill is an independent event with the same base probability.

Q4: Are drop rates affected by luck modifiers?
A: Some items and abilities in RS3 can increase drop rates, but the base formula remains the same for calculating probabilities.

Q5: How accurate are these calculations?
A: The calculations are mathematically precise based on probability theory, assuming independent events with constant probability.
