Question about drop chance booster

[(PSN)sb001001]

Does it give a noticeable increase in drops?

Been trying to farm orokin cells lately and not having much luck (damn rng!). I remember getting a couple 3hr long drop chance boosters from login rewards but did not really notice an increase in drops so I'm unsure they are worth the price.

They add 100% chance for a resource to drop and affect all the team.

So every single mob you kill every time he drop resource?

It add +100% to the base chance.
So if a resource have 2% to drop on enemi death, the calculation will be :
2% x (1 + additonnal 100%) = 2% x (1+1) = 2% x 2 = 4%.

Basically doubles the chance of a mob to drop a resource.

So if a mob has a 100% chance to drop something like say color pigments, it will drop it twice?

I'm not sure if colour pigments count as a resource in the traditional sense.

Go to Ceres (if it still drops cells) and run the Dark Sectors. Thats the best place for cells and easy (or it was). And boosters do help tremendously.

Did 3x 20 mins survival runs on Ceres and Saturn and came out with 6 cells but that was with a double resource booster (and smeeta) so I've concluded rng just doesn't like me much. Hoping to increase my luck with a drop chance booster.

Yea, I have millions of various resources... if I had to do it all over again, I would not play this game anymore/rage quit. I have tried starting a new account, just because, but it's so much work and I don't have the patience.

I feel for you, newbs... just stay out of my way ;P

It's not misleading you into anything. It says it very clearly. Your fault for thinking it guartees a drop. That would just be freaking ridiculous and completely game breaking. Why, think of all the hemas that could have been built in a single day.

According to the Wikia, yes, for pigments with a 100% drop chance mobs will drop twice as many of them if you're running a drop chance booster.

Note that it only applies to resources, so mods, etc. don't have a x2 chance to drop.
