Game Mechanics Questions - Drop Priority

[Fr0gg3r]

This is likely a question for the GM's but if you know the answer feel free to reply.

How does the game determine what Items will drop when using custom gears.

Assuming all 8 Drop slots are full.

Ex:

I am wearing Bee Wings and Crooked Hat farming sleepers.

The assumption is that items native to the monster will drop before any custom gear items.

Lets Assume the following occurs
Slot 1: Grit (100%)
Slot 2: Sand Clump (100%)
Slot 3: Great Nature (75%)
Slot 4: Fine Sand (36%)
Slot 5: Rough Oridicon (9%)

This occurs ~ 2% of the time. Which isn't really all that common so the situation may not come up very often.

The last 3 slots will take items from the custom gears: Which gear will it calculate first. The headgear or the wings.

If Wings are calculated first (have priority) and Honey / Item drop.
Slot 6: Honey
Slot 7: Item

There is only one slot left for Headgear drops. Meaning BB will drop xor DB will drop. Esentially reducing (By a negligible amount) the drop rate of BBs
Slot 8:


Hopefully you understand what I am trying to ask. =D

8 is the maximum qty of different items than can be dropped by a monster at one time? where did u get that info?

I'm pretty sure the custom drops doesn't fill any of the base slots.
As for why it's 8, almost all monsters officially drop 8 items. Not sure if it's the maximum though.

then it would make the things he mentioned to be placed at slots 9,10 and 11 then?

[Fyrus Carmin]

What I mean is, they don't really go into "slots" but they still drop.

[Kharas]

a poring can drop up to 12 items..if this makes any difference or important information for you

[Fyrus Carmin]

Seems like the number 15 I've heard once still makes sense then.
Although officially, Poring only have 8 drops.
