It means you have a 87.5% chance of the rare dropping from that enemy. For others that are like 1/2(50%) or 1/5(20%) and so forth, basically bigger the number, the worse the chance of it dropping is. Depending on the enemy and how common they are, of course.

i think you twisted your tongue saying that.. >.>

for percent, as in 87.5%, the bigger the better the chance
for fraction, 1/5, this is smaller, thus harder to get than the above



Blink & you'd miss it! ;3

Like he said. Just do the math 1/5=20%
