Droptimizer: Multiple Probabilities

Droptimizer can now be used for more “exploratory” sims with some caveats.

I’ve updated Droptimizer to allow simming with item variations like sockets and corruptions in more situations but the results will show more limited information on bonus roll statistics (like Priority and Expected Value).

The intent is to let folks try to get answers for questions like “is it even possible I could find an upgrade from X” without worrying about bonus roll decisions.

Do be careful with this — it’s easy to find high DPS items with this but the chance to actually get that item may be vanishingly small.

You’ll see this warning when Droptimizer can’t provide useful more detailed statistics:

A similar warning will show up on the report:

Examples are items with sockets, warforging, or corruption since there are multiple dice rolls on the server side for these items:

• Did this specific item drop from the boss?
• Did the item also roll a socket?

Droptimizer can only determine the detailed statistics for the “did the boss drop this item” question, it can’t handle multiple independent events.

Right now, the details will be omitted when you set up a sim with any of the following:

• Drop with a socket
• Drop that has random corruption (the weapons that drop with a fixed corruption will not trigger this condition)
• Drop that warforges or titanforges
