How much are drop rates increased by?

@fitsu They are increased bc xp rate are
Server Rates
• Experience Rate: 1x - 10x
• Level 1-70: 10x
• Level 71-85: 5x

• Level 86-91: 3x
• Level 92-99: 1x

 

Diablo doesn't have a global x drop rate formula. It's based on an original blizzlike patch so besides the changes that are listed we haven't touched the official patch. The drop however is far better compared to bnet and it's increased by the given experience rate and the other factors that may influence the drop such as players online, level, probably total number of available items on current ladder might have something to say too, etc oh and don't forget about luck just like any other game. There isn't any accurate setting like exp has where you simply increase exp and divide it by level and you get the xp rate formula. Take this as a refference: most people that played the official server never seen a zod rune in 12 years (leave aside the ones flooded by bots and duped) while here there are plenty of people that found it together with other good drops and items. As for magic find, google has tens of guides or you can find some inside our forums as well. Theories may vary.

 

But the "luck" thing is preaty much random. And sorry if I miss informed, not my intention.

 

I never worked for blizzard so you can't ask me that as I wouldn't know the answer but I already told you that drops are not working like exp does or like others online games drop rate works like. Diablo 2 drop rates are confusing by themselves and thats why you will never find any global drop rate, anywhere. Changes can be found in the thread dedicated to that so no need to ask the same question twice when you have been already provided an answer. Your best chance is to compare differences so you can always analyze our patch next to an original 1.13c patch which most probably is not going to help you much (analyze TreasureClassEx and all the files related to that)

The quote below applies is taken from bnet forums and was given my a good online friend I used to play d2.

1.10 version had also a public drop calculator but that was never accurate either. People been doing this since the begining of game and there are tens and tens of theories over google that you can use as refference but this won't help much anyway.
