In this video we look at Diablo 2 Resurrected's drop rates, and what calculations are done when a monster drops an item. We use an excel spreadsheet to calculate the chance for Baal in Hell to drop Tyrael's Might - the rarest unique Sacred Armor in the game. A lot of work goes into the drop rates for D2R, so we look at things like effective magic find, players X, auto treasure classes, drop ratios, item types, rarity, treasure classes, etc. We also look at how we can change the drop rate in order to make Tyrael's Might drop more frequently. If you've ever wanted to understand how drop chances in Diablo 2 Resurrected work, and how you might change them to get better loot, then this is the video for you!

The spreadsheet can be found here: https://github.com/HighTechLowIQ/ModdingDiablo2Resurrected/raw/master/TyraelsMight.xlsx
