Currency/Map Rarity/Quantity?

I've been searching for a little while and can't find an official source to clarify whether or which sources of increased item quantity or quality affect orb or map drops. If somebody can find a legit source for this information, please add the information to the page. Adalace (talk) 21:59, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Drop Rate peanlity

The forumla as it is written appears to be incorrect:

  • char level and monster level should probably be reversed
  • it doesn't take the level cap into account
  • I've heard claims that there is also a droprate penality for being below the zone; in any case, the forumla is not working for char level < monster level.

Additionally, there is no source for the forumla so it should be verified --OmegaK2 (t|c) 08:27, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

The source for the formula is Malice's old gameplay mechanics thread, see https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/11707. The text does mention that 1 <= lvl_monster <=66, the condition is just written in the running text. Corrected the char level and monster level and added the references to the statements. Not sure about drop rates with characters considerably below zones though, the sources I've read only mentions character levels above zone levels. --Illviljan (talk) 10:56, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
