== KS Penalty ==

MuhRO has kill-steal protection: enable it with <code>@noks</code> ~~(also <code>@noks party</code> / <code>@noks guild</code>)~~. While you are fighting a monster, other players' attacks on it are blocked for ~15 seconds at a time.

MuhRO has kill-steal protection: enable it with <code>@noks</code>. While you are fighting a monster, other players' attacks on it are blocked for ~15 seconds at a time.

KS protection does not apply to: MVPs and their slaves, monsters near an MVP, PvP/GvG maps, Happy Hour maps and owners who are idle/AFK.

KS protection does not apply to: MVPs and their slaves, monsters near an MVP, PvP/GvG maps, Happy Hour maps and owners who are idle/AFK or far away.

Trying to hit someone else's protected monster is not just blocked - it punishes you:

# capped at 90%, minimum 0.01%

=== Worked example ===

=== Worked example: rare item (0.05% base) ===

A weapon with an official 0.05% drop rate:

* Server rate (25x, logarithmic): 0.93% - this is what everyone gets.

* Server rate (25x, logarithmic): 0.92% - this is what everyone gets.

* You play 1x rates at Base Lv 250 (+50% boost): 1.33%.

* You play 1x rates at Base Lv 250 (+50% boost): 1.34%. Note this is not simply 0.92% x 1.5: the boost raises the raw multiplier from 25x to 37.5x and the logarithmic curve then compresses that, so the realized gain here is about +46%. On rarer items more of the boost comes through (a 0.01% item goes from 0.25% to 0.38%, the full +50%).

* You wear +10% drop gear, chew an HE Bubble Gum (+200%) and it's Happy Hour (+50%): total bonus 360%, so 1.33% x 3.6 = ~4.8%.

* You wear +10% drop gear, chew an HE Bubble Gum (+200%) and it's Happy Hour (+50%): total bonus 360%, so 1.34% x 3.6 = ~4.8%.

That's roughly a 1-in-21 chance instead of the official 1-in-2000.

=== Worked example: common item (5% base) ===

The same player hunting an item with an official 5% drop rate:

* Server rate (25x, logarithmic): 26.5%. The effective multiplier is only about 5.3x - common items get far less of the 25x than rare ones.

* Low Rate Drop Boost (+50% headline): 32.7%. The curve compresses it even harder here - the realized gain is only about +23%.

* Same buffs as above (total bonus 360%): 32.7% x 3.6 = 117.6%, which slams into the 90% cap - final chance 90%.

So for common items, buffs quickly stop mattering: anything that would land above 90% is simply 90%.

=== Common myths ===

Line 192:

* Monster size does not change drops. Also disabled.

* Party members' gear/buffs don't help your roll - drop bonuses come from the player whose kill credit applies to the drop.

* Your level doesn't matter for drops - there is no bonus or penalty for being too high or too low.

== Checking rates in game ==

<code>@mobinfo <monster name or ID></code> (short: <code>@mi</code>) lists a monster's drops with their rates. What the numbers mean depends on your display mode, which you set with <code>@mobinfomode</code>:

{| class="wikitable"

! Command !! What @mobinfo shows

|-

| <code>@mobinfomode base</code> || Server rates - after the server multiplier and the card caps, before any personal modifiers. The same for everyone. This is the default.

|-

| <code>@mobinfomode personal</code> || Your effective rates - includes your Low Rate Drop Boost, drop gear, active drop buffs, Happy Hour (if you are standing on a boosted map), any KS penalty and the 90% cap.

|-

| <code>@mobinfomode default</code> || Back to the server default (base).

|}

Notes:

* <code>@mobinfomode</code> without an argument simply toggles between base and personal.

* The setting is saved per character and survives logout.

* Personal mode is a live preview of the formula on this page: change gear, lose a buff or leave the Happy Hour map and the numbers change with you.

* <code>@mobinforate</code> is the same command under another name.
