• Note: Hodgman's Regal Frippery allows the use of a skill to give +100% item drops, five times per day.

Notes

• Since the amount of item drop bonus from the Jekyllin hide belt varies with the moonlight (from 15% to 55%), there are times when equipping Mr. Accessory Jrs. or Grimacite gorgets in their place would be more advantageous.
• As the V for Vivala mask can force item drops on critical hits, equipping this in a spare accessory slot could increase your chances. Note that this prevents your opponent from dropping the same item normally that combat.
• Being underwater gives you an inherent penalty to item and meat drops, but can be reduced. See underwater adventuring.
• Rave Concentration increases item drops by 30%, but can only obtained by Disco Bandits. See Rave combos.
• The Jack-in-the-Box provides twice the bonus of a Fairy, but only once every 3 turns.
• The molten medallion, musty moccasins, and monstrous monocle become more effective when using them together. See their individual pages for details.
• The Elvish sunglasses and El Tango de la Maldita Suegra provide 25% and 20% bonus to pickpocket chance, respectively.
• Expert Timing provides a 20% increase, as you can have neither a weapon nor an off-hand equipped to benefit from this effect.
• The Peppermint Rhino is a fairy-type familiar whose item drop bonus is doubled for candy.
• Smithsness can currently be raised to a maximum of 90 points (giving a maximum item drop bonus of 90% on A Light that Never Goes Out).
• Hobo Power can currently be raised to a maximum of 170 points (giving a maximum item drop bonus of 85% on Hodgman offhand items).
• Other Crown of Thrones/Buddy Bjorn choices exist, which give item drop bonuses to specific categories of items (e.g. Slimeling gives +15% weapon drops). These are not included in the table in the interest of brevity.
• The Team Avarice cap is a quest item that can be earned only on the Pocket Familiars challenge path.
