ドロップ率

• 読み: ドロップりつ
• ローマ字: doroppu ritsu
• 漢字の分解: ドロップ (drop, from English) + 率 (rate/ratio) → the probability of an item dropping
• 発音: /do.ɾop.pɯ ɾi.tsɯ/

意味

Drop rate — the probability of obtaining a specific item from a defeated enemy, chest, or quest completion.

A fundamental concept in RPG and gacha gaming, ドロップ率 governs how often rare items appear. Low drop rates are a constant source of frustration and discussion, with players debating whether published rates match their actual experience. The term is closely tied to 周回 (grinding), as low drop rates necessitate repeated runs.

例文

1. ドロップ率1%って聞いてたけど体感もっと低いわ。
2. イベント中はドロップ率アップしてるから今のうちに周回しよう。
3. ドロップ率低すぎて心折れそう。
