How do the drop rates work in the item database??

I've just made a skyly and i got him into hard mode and there is this sword i've been haveing my eye on.. it says that its drop rate is 87.5% from an Al Rappy. Is that good or is it bad? <<;

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

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