RuneScape:Drop Rate Project

The Old School RuneScape Wiki is running a project to add exact drop rates to articles. There are three primary data sources for this project:

• Approximately 80 billion kills, pickpockets, etc. from the Loot Tracker plugin on the open-source third-party client RuneLite. These data are analyzed to produce drop tables on hundreds of articles.
• Code from approximately 150 monsters' drop subroutines, provided to the wiki by the OSRS development team. This data is used on about 240 drop tables.
• Crowdsourcing plugins are used for drop sources that require more intricate logic to analyze.

Additional sources can sometimes include Twitter posts from OSRS developers (especially when the drop table has unique conditions or mechanics), and large-scale drop logs on Reddit, YouTube, or other sources.

This project is primarily about monster drops, but it also applies to pickpocketing loot and other randomized loot like the Crystal chest or Mystery box.

Join the #drop-logs channel of the wiki's Discord if you're interested in learning more or helping out.

How can I help?

While as of this writing about 95% of monsters have accurate drop tables, there's still a lot of additional work to be done. Any time you see a drop rate listed as Common, Uncommon, or Rare, it means we need to collect more data to figure out the underlying table.

The easiest way to contribute is to just kill monsters with RuneLite's loot tracker. Note that in order for the data to carry over to the wiki you need to have the Loot Tracker plugin enabled. That's it! Just kill things, and eventually we'll get the data and be able to improve the wiki.

Which monsters?

These are some monsters we need more data for:

1. Former Vampyre - Have data, need to unify all the relevant pages
2. Araxxor plenty of data to remove approx=yes
3. Tormented Demon plenty of data to remove approx=yes
4. Turoth plenty of data, need to analyze knowing that they can drop "nothing" pretty frequently
5. Mind Golem plenty of data, analyze tertiary
6. Basilisk Sentinel (and knight) check if long and curved bone are rolled three times by the sentinel, and if light mystic hat is tertiary for both
7. Runite Golem skilling success chart
8. Elite Black Knight hard clue drop rate

Additionally, the wiki also would like to get more data for non-monster drop rates.

Non-monsters?

1. Ore pack (Volcanic Mine) - needs simulation work, we know some aspects of how it works
2. Most trees are missing success rates for Crystal axe, and Blisterwood tree has no data - needs plugin work
3. Some Fishing spots missing success rates, most notably Fishing spot (Camdozaal) - needs plugin work
4. Lots of mobs in Ruins of Tapoyauik
5. Category:Needs skilling success chart - many of these need plugin work
   1. Digsite workman
   2. Cave goblin (Dorgesh-Kaan)
   3. Fremennik citizens
   4. Hallowed grapple
   5. Hallowed sepulchre bridge repair
6. Zenyte furnace dungeon trapdoor
7. Strange bush from the Flowering Tree (Forestry event)

Summer sweepup

The following monsters still need to have their drops confirmed.

1. Vet'ion + baby
2. Venenatis + baby
3. Callisto + baby
4. Kraken
5. ToA
6. CoX
7. Leviathan

Clues

Once the plugin gets fixed, we'll want clue drop rates and other things on lots of monsters:
