Is there a way to know the exact item drop rates?

I know there are many ragnarok database websites, but our server's item drops has been customized.


Is there a software that can extract data from ragnarok servers?


BTW, what is Aegis and Athena?

You'll have to write a plugin to calculate it for your server. That's about the best you can do. A macro might also be able to handle it, but retaining the data over multiple sessions would be, well, a total bitch.

Yeah I suppose what sli said would be the best method. A plugin that logged monster x's killed and item y's found?

Pretty much. You could easily have it stored in a tied hash, which would take care of storing the data across multiple sessions and allow you to easily dump the data into a readable formate. The plugin would be incredibly small. The data would pretty much be in this format:

Code: Select all

%drops = (
    'Poring' => (
        5,
        (
            'Jellopy' => 5,
            'Apple' => 2
        )
    )
);

Which would be 5 total Porings killed, which dropped a total of 5 jellopies (100% drop rate) and 2 apples (40% drop rate). You could calculate it like this:

Code: Select all

$p = ($drops{Poring}[1]{Apple} / $drops{Poring}[0]) * 100;  # $p will be 40

And if you wanted to dump the data into something readable (or a SQL schema, which would be best), you you just traverse the hash with a nested while each() loop.
