Effigy Drop Rate Explanation

This page explains how often you might receive a "Starved Ancient Effigy" as a loot drop when defeating enemies in the game.

Basic Explanation

When you defeat an enemy, there's a chance you might find a special item called a "Starved Ancient Effigy" in your loot. The chance of finding this effigy depends on the combat level of the enemy you defeated and a few other conditions. Here's how it works:

Combat Level Requirement

• You can only get an effigy if the enemy you defeat has a combat level of 70 or higher.

How the Chance is Calculated

• The game calculates your chance to get an effigy based on the enemy's combat level.
• The higher the enemy's combat level, the better your chances are.
• However, the best possible chance is limited so that it's never too high or too low.

Simplified Chance Calculation

Think of the chance like rolling a dice:

• If the enemy's combat level is just 70, your chances are lower.
• As the combat level increases, your chances improve.
• No matter how strong the enemy is, there's a maximum chance limit to keep it fair.

Other Conditions

Even if you have a good chance based on the combat level, you won't get an effigy if:

• You are in specific areas of the game like "Chambers of Xeric" or "Gauntlet".

Summary of Chances

Here's a simple way to remember:

• Stronger Enemies (Higher Combat Level): Better chance to get an effigy.
• Weaker Enemies (Below Combat Level 70): No chance to get an effigy.
• Special Game Areas: No chance to get an effigy regardless of the enemy's strength.

Example

• If you defeat an enemy with a combat level of 100, you have a better chance of getting an effigy compared to defeating an enemy with a combat level of 70.
• If you're in a special area like "Chambers of Xeric", you won't get an effigy even if the enemy is very strong.

Chance Formula

The chance of getting a "Starved Ancient Effigy" is calculated using a simple formula:

chance = max(512 - {enemy's combat level}, 128)

• This means the chance starts at a value based on the enemy's combat level.
• The higher the combat level, the lower the starting value, improving your chances.
• The minimum value is capped at 128 to ensure a fair balance.

How to Interpret the Formula

• For an enemy with a combat level of 70, the chance is `max(512 - 70, 128) = 442`.
• For an enemy with a combat level of 200, the chance is `max(512 - 200, 128) = 312`.
• The lowest possible chance value is 128, meaning you have a relatively good chance against very high-level enemies.

Conclusion

To maximize your chances of getting a "Starved Ancient Effigy":

1. Defeat enemies with a combat level of 70 or higher.
2. Avoid fighting in special game areas where effigies don't drop.

Happy hunting, and may you find many effigies in your adventures!
