The other big factor is also number of cores per battle since ppl can have their vip,luck,guild,camp bonus active. Or do you track only items that dropped without using buffs?
Hmmm... I did record which type of core each drop was, so if I filter out for normal cores and then get the ratio based on the total cores... I get x2.15, yeah looks like guild core is much lower and cf/vip is slightly lower too.
Ok, then, let say, you get 4 normal drops, and then another +1 for each bonus excluding dmg core for 6 drops, giving a multiplier of x2.5... I end up with these numbers if I only count normal drops then x2.5 to the drop rate.

With the increase of Bow Kais thanks to the buff, some raids have become very annoying to do. Mainly Bear RAR, Blood Lord and Zecallion.
In Bear RAR, please stand near the wall, not in the middle of the map. Standing in the middle makes the bear pounce around the whole map so everyone else has to waste time chasing him, making the raid slow.
Blood Lord and Zecallion both have an attack which targets players who stand far. So if you stand far, you will be attacked more often and others will need to find and chase the boss. There is a range where you can be close enough to not trigger that attack, while still being far enough to not get hit.
Being closer also has another perk which I only seen about 3 Kais do, you can dodge forward and pass aggro off to others quickly before continuing to attack.
If you are far, you usually need to continue to dodge a few more times since you retain aggro for some time, while the other party members need to chase you around the map. This is worse if you decide to dodge backwards continuously.
The only places where you should shoot far is in Dullahan to pull the boss far away from the middle, in Macha to pull the boss back towards the middle prior to breaking any seals, and in Regina to pull her towards the light grass.
This is only accurate for items that have 5% or more party drop chance, for the rest I would not trust it a lot, since they would need much more runs to be accurate. For example in 100 arcanas I saw 4 scrolls, that makes it 4% chance, yet you listed it as 1%. Not saying that its 4%, just that it needs like 1000 runs to get the correct % with these low chance drops, otherwise rng plays a big factor.
