it's funny that these kids can have you literally say "streaking is better for uniques" and they are still butt mad

streaking is better unless ur internet is shit and goes off a lot. If that's the case do 999%. I go 150-200 + dry @ legions with 1/50 drop rate so streaks are for me + I don't have dial up internet.

Ty timbo for not revealing the formula. I want people to keep wasting time @ 999% when streaking is so much better and more consistent.

I was right all along, as always...

Edit: but yeah timbo don't cave into these basement dwellers who want more streak examples so they can calculate things because they "need" to know it. I love secrecy, and again it's funny you can literally tell them streaking is better but they still want more.

Hello everyone,

This week we'll be talking about Araxxor's , Kalphite King's and Rise of the Six's drop rates. We hope you'll enjoy looking through the chances on these dastardly bosses.

Araxxor

If you decide to fight with a friend against Araxxor, that will have an impact on your chances at loot although both players do have a chance at obtaining unique loot. Here are the differences:

Fighting Araxxor SOLO
1/120 chance at a weapon component (Araxxi's Fang, Web or Eye)
1/40 chance at a leg piece (Top, Middle or Bottom)

Fighting Araxxor DUO
1/200 chance at a weapon component (Araxxi's Fang, Web or Eye)
1/70 chance at a leg piece (Top, Middle or Bottom)

Which component or leg piece you obtain depends on a number of factors. What type of component you get can depend on what combat style of Araxxor you're fighting. You have a 1/2 chance of getting the same component style of the boss type you're fighting. For example, if you're fighting a Magic-style Araxxor then you have a 50% chance to get an Araxxi's Eye if you get a component.

If you fail this roll then you have a 50/50 chance to obtain one of the other styles. Following this example, if we failed the chance to the Araxxi's Eye from the Magic-style Araxxor then you have a 50/50 chance to get either Araxxi's Web or Araxxi's Fang.

What leg piece you get depends on what path you fight Araxxor down. Fighting Araxxor down path 1 will get you a chance at Spider leg top, path 2 a chance at Spider leg middle and down path 3 a chance at Spider leg bottom.

Araxyte pheromones work in a slightly different way in their drop chance is effected by Araxxor's current enrage. The higher the enrage, the greater chance at obtaining an Araxyre pheromone. Araxxor's current enrage has no impact on the common or unique drop tables however.

1/50 base chance to obtain an Araxyte pheromone at 0% enrage
1/(50-(Current Enrage / 20)) meaning that at 300% enrage you have a 1/35 chance at obtaining an Araxyte pheromone.

Kalphite King

Kalphite King has a fairly straight forward drop table and there is nothing special to report other than the unique drop chances.

1/128 chance to get either Drygore Rapier or Drygore Rapier Offhand
1/128 chance to get either Drygore Longsword or Drygore Longsword Offhand
1/128 chance to get either Drygore Mace or Drygore Mace Offhand

1/50 chance at getting Perfect Chitin for the defender

1/50 chance to get triple Rare Droptable as a bonus drop

35/128 chance to get 50 cooked sharks

Rise of the Six

You always get a malevolent energy but you have a 50% chance to get an extra energy. In order to actually get an energy, however, you need to complete the collapsing tunnels and escape through the well else they will disappear.

1/80 chance to get either Malevolent, Vengeful or Merciless shields

All of the common drops have an equal 1/11 chance to drop meaning that you have a 1/11 chance to get up to 10 barrows amulets for example.

We hope you enjoyed this week's drop rates, next week we'll be talking about Legiones from the Ascension Dungeon, God Wars Dungeon 2 and Nex!

Thanks,
