For those unfamiliar with math notation, the brackets mean take the largest whole number.


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:

<math>n = \left \lceil \dfrac {ln(1 - P)} {\ln \left (\dfrac{(k - 1)}{k} \right )} \right \rceil</math>
<math>n = \left \lceil \dfrac {ln(1 - P)} {\ln \left (\dfrac{(k - 1)}{k} \right )} \right \rceil</math>
For those unfamiliar with math notation, the outer brackets just mean take the largest whole number.


If the drop-rate is low which ''is'' typical for rare drops then you can approximate this as:
