= Drop Mechanics =
The system balances drop mechanics using a persistent pity formula to soften the volatility of RNG:

<math>\text{DryRolls} = \text{TotalRolls} - (\text{TotalDrops} \times N)</math>

Under this system, the dynamic drop rate only increases when a player exceeds the expected dry threshold, helping prevent extreme streaks of bad luck on rare items like the [[Elven Greatsword]].
