At its core, the Elden Ring Drop Rate Calculator is a tool that predicts the likelihood of enemies dropping specific items based on various in-game factors. This calculator takes into account the base drop chance of the item and the player’s Item Discovery stat, presenting the odds in a straightforward, easily understandable manner. By inputting these details, players can adjust their strategies, whether that means altering their equipped items to boost Item Discovery or focusing their efforts on enemies with a higher yield for their desired loot.
Formula
The calculator operates on a precise formula designed to provide players with a clear understanding of their chances to secure drops:
Drop Rate = (W * 100) / (1000 + (W - (P * 10)))
where:
Pis the base drop chance of the item (as a percentage, between 0 and 100)Dis the player’s Item Discovery stat (between 100 and 324)Wis the weighting value, calculated as:
W = (P * 10 * (D / 100))
This formula intricately calculates the drop rate by incorporating both the intrinsic drop chance of the item and how the player’s stats can influence this probability, offering a nuanced view of the loot mechanics in Elden Ring.
General Terms Table
This table simplifies the process for players, offering an at-a-glance overview of how varying Item Discovery stats can influence drop rates for items with different base drop chances.
| Base Drop Chance (%) | Item Discovery 100 | Item Discovery 150 | Item Discovery 200 | Item Discovery 250 | Item Discovery 300 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 4.76% | 6.98% | 9.09% | 11.11% | 13.04% |
| 10 | 9.09% | 13.33% | 16.67% | 20.00% | 23.08% |
| 15 | 13.04% | 18.75% | 23.81% | 28.57% | 33.33% |
| 20 | 16.67% | 23.53% | 30.00% | 36.36% | 42.11% |
| 25 | 20.00% | 27.78% | 35.71% | 43.48% | 50.00% |
This table is structured to provide a quick comparison across a range of Item Discovery stats. From the base value of 100 (which all players start with) to a high of 300, achievable through various in-game boosts. Each column represents the calculated drop rate for a given Base Drop Chance and Item Discovery stat. Illustrating how increasing your Item Discovery can significantly impact your success rate in obtaining rare items.
Example
To illustrate, consider a player seeking a rare weapon with a base drop chance of 5% (P = 5) and an Item Discovery stat of 200 (D = 200). Plugging these values into the formula gives a clearer picture of their actual drop rate:
W = (5 * 10 * (200 / 100)) = 100 Drop Rate = (100 * 100) / (1000 + (100 - (5 * 10))) = 9.09%
This calculation reveals that with an Item Discovery stat of 200. The player’s chances of obtaining the item increase from 5% to approximately 9.09%.
Most Common FAQs
