D.Ring drop rate is known by all of us much worse, to round it up (out of wikis) is .5% success rate so lets put it that in 1/60 you get it on a normal case scenario. So is (.01666667)

Adding up probabilities makes (.25)x(.01) = 0.00416667 chances of a drop rate (in fraction 21/5000) Because you have to win both events to succeed to win D.Ring. But both events are independent.

So yeah skipping the NQ conversion to savory shank does increase your success rate at the end of the day because (0.01666667) > (0.00416667).

Don't get me wrong man, I want everyone to get that awesome ring, but easing up things more than they are, in my humble opinion, is a little too much in my book, everyone may think otherwise or agree with me.

Nevertheless I hope you get your ring on this campaign.

Who ever taught you math should be fired.

Just ignoring your typo with 0.01, your forgetting that you get 3 times as many chances with the 0.00416667 chance so your real rate is .0125... Even then, I still find that I average a savory shank every 3 kills with TH11-12.
