⚔️Item Drop Rates
For transparency, Etherscape publishes information about item drop rates shown on this wiki. Bear in mind that these rates are subject to change at any time without notice. We are constantly monitoring the economy to evaluate if adjustments are required to maintain health.

Pity Bonus
With all loot systems based on RNG you can end up with periods of bad luck where you don't get a rare drop for a long period of time. In order to sooth this pain a bit, Etherscape has a pity system which increases your magic find for legendary items based on how long it has been since your last drop. This will help to continually increase your odds until you eventually get that lucky drop.
The pity system provides a separate bonus for legendary, sacred legendary and ascended legendary drops. Each time you get an item drop that is not of the relevant rarity type your pity bonus increases. Once you do get the drop of the relevant rarity type, you pity bonus resets for that rarity type.
Below are the pity bonus amounts based on rarity type:
Legendary
.03%
12.5%
Sacred Legendary
.003%
110%
Ascended Legendary
.0003%
187%
* Improvement After Average: This is the measure of how much boost you are getting after you have passed the average number of drops you would have expected to get a drop of that legendary type at.
The pity system is new in version 0.20.6.1 and the exact values of the bonus could be adjusted after observing how it works on the live servers.
Loot Quality Index
The chances that enemies drop items depends on the difficulty of the monster. The stronger the monster, the higher the Loot Quality Index (LQI). With high LQI it is possible for the item roll to result in more than 1 item drop on death. Each of the following item types has its own drop chance and roll when an enemy dies depending on the LQI.
Equipment
Gold
Potions
Quest Keys
Energy Orbs
LQI is increased significantly for champion enemies. Champion enemies are also guaranteed to have at least 1 magic equipment drop.

Per Enemy Drop Limits
In order to control the number of items dopped there is a cap on how many drops a single enemy can provide depending on their type. In the event that the cap kicks in, the game will follow this logic...
Roll all the item rarities which could be more than the allowed cap
Sort the rarities from highest to lowest
Cap the item drops keeping the highest rarity ones
The end result is that there is no impact on the number of high rarity drops you receive. However, the low rarity ones will be removed if the cap is crossed.
The drop caps are the following...
Default
2
Rare Elite
5
Epic / Leg Elite
10
Boss
20
Item Decay
In order to protect the game performance, it is necessary to ensure that players do no have too many items on the ground at a time. As a result, there is an item decay that ensures you generally do not have more than 50 items on the ground at a time. When there are too many items on the ground, they will start to decay and be removed based on the following logic...
Lowest rarity items will be removed first
If items are the same rarity, then the oldest item based on drop time will be removed
Items on the ground more than 3 minutes will be removed.
This is a new feature so we will be watching and adjusting some constants such as what the max items on the ground should be and what the max age of items on the ground should be
Attack Patterns
Advanced attack patterns are considered anything that is better than single. The probability to roll an advanced attack pattern is based on the weapons rarity.
