* 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%.
