Elden Ring Drop Rate Calculator Formula:

Adjusted Drop Rate (P) = Base Rate × (Discovery / 100)

Cumulative Success (%) = [1 – (1 – P)^n] × 100

Variables:

  • Base Drop Rate: The fixed percentage chance an enemy has to drop a specific item.
  • Discovery: A player attribute that scales with Arcane (+1 per level) and items. Base is 100.
  • Attempts (n): The number of times the loot table is rolled (e.g., number of enemies killed).

What is an Elden Ring Drop Rate Calculator?

An Elden Ring drop rate calculator is a specialized utility designed to help players understand how their Discovery stat impacts the likelihood of obtaining rare items. In Elden Ring, the “Discovery” stat acts as a multiplier for the base drop rate. For example, having 200 Discovery effectively doubles the base chance of an item dropping.

While many players focus solely on the per-kill chance, our calculator goes a step further by calculating cumulative probability. This helps manage expectations during long farming sessions by showing you the statistical likelihood of seeing a drop after 10, 50, or 100 kills.

How to Calculate Drop Rates (Example):

  1. Identify the base drop rate (e.g., the Magma Blade has a 1.0% base rate).
  2. Check your Discovery in the Status menu (e.g., 250 Discovery).
  3. Divide Discovery by 100 (250 / 100 = 2.5).
  4. Multiply the Base Rate by that factor (1.0% × 2.5 = 2.5%).
  5. To find the chance over 50 kills: $1 – (1 – 0.025)^{50} \approx 72\%$.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

What is the maximum Discovery in Elden Ring? The hard cap is reached with 99 Arcane, Silver Scarab Talisman, and Silver Pickled Fowl Foot, totaling 324 Discovery.

Does Discovery affect boss drops? No, guaranteed boss drops and “Remembrances” are not affected by Discovery.

How much does Arcane increase Discovery? Each point in Arcane increases your Discovery stat by exactly 1.

Is there a “pity” system in Elden Ring? No, Elden Ring uses a pure Random Number Generator (RNG) with no escalating odds.
