There are also plenty of online [https://dropchance.app/|drop-rate calculators] that you can use to help understand drop-rates in practice.
For example, for the {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} there is a 1 in 20,000 (k) chance of this item dropping, and 100 attempts gives a probability of:


Good luck!
<math>P = 1 - \left ( 1 - \dfrac{1}{20,000} \right ) ^ {100} = 0.005 = 0.5 \%</math>
 
This means that you have a 0.5% chance of discovering at least one of these after 100 attempts.
