Description:
What it does?

Now skills/items that increase drop rate of items actually matter.

  • Lowers the base drop rate of items after battles to 0% (default was 40%!).
  • AI gets higher drop rate depending on campaign difficulty
    Difficulty
    Drop rate AI
    Drop rate Player

    normal
    15%
    0%

    hard
    20%
    0%

    very hard
    25%
    0%

    legendary
    30%
    0%

  • Max drop rate should be 30%70%. If you have any higher it will roll back. No reason to try to go higher with skills etc.
  • Increases chances of rare items dropping when you DO get an item

  • Reduce the droprate of followers (ancillaries)
About Followers

I’ve reduced the dropchance of followers to between 2-6% across the board. If there is a specific one you feel should drop more/less let me know!

Every type of Follower has a separate condition and dropchance, for instance winning a battle and leveling up will give you two instances of 1-3 checks on different follower drops:
The level up will trigger 1-3 checks on a selection depending on Race.
The won battle will trigger 1-3 checks on a selection depending on Race.
Each with around 10%-50% chance to drop. This is why you will normally drown in them.

Cpecific has all the vanilla followers and their drophance, effect and requirements listed here [cpecific.github.io]

Compatability and mod Conflicts

Modifies: export_ancillaries__.lua and export_helpers.lua
conflicts with Very Hard = Legendary as it changes export_helpers.lua. Move this mod above it in Kaedrin’s mod manager to load it before his.

Stealing items after battle:

The chance of stealing items after battle is a separate database value(not a script) modified by skills, items and difficulty. This mod doesn’t change those values but it will affect how often the AI has anything to steal. The AI does get a higher item droprate than the player however, as you can see in the table.
