Stacking Treasure Hunter
Would it be possible for Two Lockes to guarantee drops 100%+ with Two instances of treasure hunter? Webmetz (talk) 21:09, 2 August 2016 (EDT)

Testing further during the Mog Cake event, I did notice a significant increase in the event drops when I had 4-5 lockes active at once. I would like a little more detail on drop rate mechanics and how this ability factors into it. Also, if his ability also affects exploration points. --Webmetz (talk) 21:47, 28 September 2016 (EDT)

mechanics as interpreted from customer support reply

 * increased chance by 50% does not mean u get rares at a [new chance = (50+X)%], with X being the initial rate.
 * rather it means, [new chance = (100+50%)X].
 * for a better explanation, here's an example:
 * let's say in a monster drop:
 * - 50% of the time its Esper Cryst
 * - 20% its Esper Shard
 * - 25% its Dragon Claw
 * - 5% its Dragon Scale(rare)
 * in this example with one Locke in the team, the monster will have increased chance for dragon scale
 * at a rate that is [new chance = (100+50%)* 5] or 7.5%

Thank you! That was bugging me a lot. There have been extremely rare occasions where more than one of the drops dropped at the same time, by the way. --Webmetz (talk) 21:31, 2 October 2016 (EDT)
