Statistics Notes

Disclaimer

Remember when viewing statistics on this website that they may not be totally accurate. The contributors to the wiki have done significant research (in most cases) before publishing statistics here, but there is always the possibility for error nonetheless.

Jick had stated that he usually codes drop values in multiples of five in the forums, but drop rates are kept to the nearest 0.1% just in case. (Jick also said on a radio show in February of 2007 that this was in fact not correct, that item drop rates were only kept as integers.)

Information on specific statistical wiki-centered projects follows.

Yiab's Item Hunt

Currently the main contributor to item drop statistics on this site is Yiab who ensures that the statistics are based on at least 1000 encounters with a given monster before publishing them. All item drop rates are rounded to the nearest 0.1% chance. If you wish to contact Yiab about this project, feel free. Data with only minor preprocessing is available upon request.
Note: Due to the difficulty of automating combat in the Crimbo Town Toy Factory, about 1/3 the reliability can be attributed to Yiab's statistics gathered there.

A page has been written specifically to present condensed item drop statistics on a single page in a format easily readable by computer. It is called Parseable Item Statistics. There is a similar page for the data concerning frequencies of adventures in area called Parseable Area Statistics.

Meat drops gathered during this project may contain the occasional error as the primary goal of the project was item drop rates. Meat drops appear to follow a normal distribution. As above, there is a page summarizing meat drop data to be read by a computer at Parseable Meat Statistics.

The following are approximate dates on which the statistics were calculated. If there has been a change in an area since that date, the statistics for that area may be completely invalidated.

Amateur Statistics

Some statistics may say: "Approx. X% Chance" These are used for rough figures until Yiab posts more reliable data.
