What would be the formula for Wealth Duplex with additional loot bonuses?

  • Loot prey
  • Double loot event
  • Gut Charm
  • Daily boosted creature

Also what happens if you have them all active at the same time?

Each loot bonus, except by the Gut charm, makes an extra loot set to be generated for you (out of the loot pool and based on the drop rates). The same applies to the Wealth Duplex bonus.

You can easily test it with creatures that have loot with 100% drop rate. When killing such creatures, the amount of extra items that are always dropped will be 1 for each active bonus. However, this will not always be the case for drop rate values different from 100%.

As far as I know, Gut charm adds a 20%-chance of an extra loot set to be generated for creature products, which means for every 5 creatures that you kill, you loot the amount of creature products you would get in 6 creatures (20% bonus), in average.

So with double loot + this potion + boosted creature makes it 4 sets of loot with possibility of having 4 times rare item? so now the question is- how many "loot sets" is for each creature..

From my understanding, yes. In the scenario you described there would be 4 loot sets.

Xarkost, what Skerio answered is exactly what I wrote. He even used the term "loot set" which, btw, Idontknow seems to "not know" what it means. Every time you kill a creature, a set of items is generated from its "loot pool" based on its drop rates. This is the loot set. What a loot bonus does is to make an additional loot set to be generated.

Slight advice in here as it leaves room for misinterpretation- just add it does makes an extra loot set which is not necessarily same as the original. I know what you mean and Xarkost also knows but- there will be people who will think that if they will loot some rare, it will be definitely doubled. It is common misconception. This is why I like Skerio's explanation.

BTW.  Idontknow knows nothing and even less;-).

I just added the link as it is nice to have an official source from CIP.

Thanks for the hint, Idontknow. I just edited the answer trying to approach what you suggested. Does it look clear now?

Hello, I know this question is old, but to me the answer was not clear enough.

If I kill for example a Demodras with double loot event active and then use a wealth duplex, it will give me 3 Dragon Claws?

As long as the boss does not have a reward container it should be effected. In your example I believe yes, you would get 3 Dragon claw.
