According to the wiki the drop rate of Warpriest is updated on 13 July 2020. Players who did not participate in the world events now get an increased drop rate as well.

Expected drop rate: 1/128 for a random warpriest piece or 1/768 for each unique piece . This should be the same for the boss in GWD1 , the minions and the creatures you get your kc from (not sure if all monsters apply).
Edit: These are the numbers for Kree'arra. For the other bosses see 2nd post.

Now I suspect that this might not be correct in all cases. I personally did not participate in the 2nd world event (Bandos/Armadyl).

After 650 Kree Arra kills, I have gotten 5 pieces (2x cape, 2x helm, 1x cuirass). Normally you would expect 22+ pieces in my case. On average 5 from Kree, 15 from his minions and a few extra from the Aviansie kc. I'm not sure how much kc I actually did, but it should be 280 minimum and probably even quite a bit more, so that's why I included 2 extra pieces to come to a total of 22.
The thing is that I'm 90% sure(*) all my pieces come from Kree itself. So that would be an average drop rate on Kree. However 0 from the minions and 0 from kc is what makes me suspicious.

Ofcourse 650 Boss kills, 1950 minion kills & 280+ KC is not the biggest sample, but the numbers are suspicious. Or I could just be incredibly unlucky on the minions and the regular aviansies.

So now I was wondering. Do people who have not particpated in the 2nd world event, have the same experience as me? Do people who have participated, have a much better drop rate? Or is the Wiki just incorrect in the first place?

(*)Reason I say 90% sure is because I semi afk the boss. 3 times I've seen the drop spawn after Kree died, 2 times I did not. But since only Kree and the melee minion come into melee range, I can exclude the other 2 minions for those last 2 drops. Those last 2 drops spawned where either kree or the melee minion had died.

Update: I also tested out the other GWD1 bosses as a test.
According to the wiki:
Boss gives 1/128 drop chance for each unique. So 1/21,3333 for a random piece.
Minions drop rate = 1/768 or 1/128 for a random piece.

Results:
Commander Zilyana
1639 Zilyana kills = 76 expected pieces, 6180 minion kills = 48 expected pieces.
-> Received 80 pieces (vs 124 expected) inside the boss room and 5 from killcount.

Kril Tsutsaroth : +-1600 Kril kills (minion kills uknown) => 75 warpriest drops in the boss room and 4 or 5 from kc. These are similar numbers as Zilyana

General Graardor:
567 Graardor kills = 26 expected pieces, 1817 minions kills = 14 expected pieces
-> Received 0 warpriest (vs 40 expected) inside the boss room and 3 from kc.

Conclusion: It seems I'm getting heavily decreased droprates from Graardor and Kree. So I assume the hotfix from 13 July 2020 does not actually work.

Players who did not participate in the world events now get an increased drop rate as well.

I agree, there is definitely something wrong with the drop table at the moment. I should be expecting more warpriest drops from General Graardor according to my calculations. A fix really is needed here because this is not correct. KarimBenzema made me efficient
