drop rates
Item spawn chances
Drop rates are the probability that a specific item will be obtained from an enemy, chest, or other source in a video game.
Players grind content repeatedly when drop rates are low: The mount has a 1% drop rate, so expect to run that dungeon many times.
Game developers adjust drop rates to control player progression and engagement.
