[[File:Rare drop table.png|left]]The '''rare drop table''' is a special list of [[items]]. When slain, some [[monster]]s have a chance to give [[Drops|loot]] from the rare drop table instead of loot from their own unique drop table. Unlike the standard drop table, the rare drop table is shared by many monsters ranging from [[chaos druid]]s, to [[lesser demon]]s, through to most [[Slayer monsters]] and the [[Kalphite queen]]. See [[Rare drop table#Monsters that give access to the rare drop table|below]] for a list of monsters that are likely to give access to the rare drop table. A [[ring of wealth]] affects the rare drop table. See [[Rare drop table#How the rare drop table works|below]] to read how.

==Definitions==

*100% drop - Most creatures have what is called a '100% drop', which they will drop every time they are defeated (for example [[bones]] or [[Demonic ashes]]).
*Main drop - This will be an item drawn from a creature's drop table based upon a random 'roll' (imagine a dice roll or roulette wheel).
*Drop table - This is a list of all items that a creature could possibly drop. The percentage chance of receiving each item varies, often depending upon the item's relative value.
*Rare drop table - Occasionally, a creature can give access to a drop table of more valuable items. To receive items from this drop table, you must first "roll" to land on it from the main drop table.
*Second drop - Some creatures also have a second drop. The only second drops in the game consist of [[charms]] used in [[Summoning]] and the [[Draconic visage]] from various [[Dragon]]s, as well as [[starved ancient effigy|starved ancient effigies]] and [[clue scroll (hard)|hard clue scrolls]].
*Quest drops - in some instances, a creature will drop a [[quest]]-specific item (e.g. the unique bones required for the [[Rag and Bone Man]] or [[Fur 'n' Seek]] quests).

==How the rare drop table works==

When a creature is killed, the item or items it drops are chosen from a list of possible drops, which is different for each creature. This drop is chosen at random, via a sort of "roll of the dice". Some items (usually the less valuable ones) are more likely to be dropped than others.

For the monsters that give access to the rare drop table, one of the "items" on the list of standard drops is actually a trigger that gives a second "roll" on another list of items: the rare drop table.

On this rare drop table, a pair of "dice" are again rolled. The player may get an item at random from the rare drop table. Again, less valuable items are more likely to be chosen than expensive items. Possible items include uncut [[gems]], the [[half of a key]] items, and a few dragon and rune items such as [[left half of shield]], [[dragon spear]], and [[rune javelin]]s.

However, the rare drop table also normally contains many "empty" slots that, if rolled, results in a "no drop." In such an event, nothing will be dropped, except for the monster's 100% drops (e.g. [[bones]]) and perhaps one or more Summoning charms.

Note that not all valuable items are on the rare drop table. Some rare items that can only be dropped by a specific monster are simply on that monster's standard drop table (for example, a [[Draconic Visage|draconic visage]] is only attainable by killing [[dragons]], so it can't be on the rare drop table).

A [[ring of wealth]] affects how the rare drop table works. It removes most of the "empty" slots on the rare drop table. Therefore, the odds of receiving items is increased. A ring of wealth does '''not''' affect how often the rare drop table is accessed. So, when wearing a ring of wealth, the rare drop table will not be triggered more often, but when it is triggered, the player is more likely to receive an item.

The ring of wealth can also make certain drops on the standard drop table more common; see [[Rare drop table#Additional drops|below]] for a list of items affected. The trigger that starts the rare drop table is not influenced by the ring.

In issue 24 of the [[God letters]], Guthix had the following to say about how a ring of wealth works:
:''If thou consider the possessions of an enemy to be like a roulette wheel, then the 'rare' items so coveted by players are located on a second roulette wheel, that will only be spun shouldst thou roll a specific number on the first wheel. The ring of wealth affects not the number which thou may achieve upon the first wheel, but should thou gain the precise number to allow thee access to the second, the ring will make thy chances of gaining an object on that second roulette wheel all the greater. My analogy is flawed, for death is not like roulette, but I hope that thou see the truth within this.''

== Items known to be on the rare drop table ==
The following is a list of items known to be on the rare drop table. Note that due to the nature of the way the rare drop table is accessed, it can't be determined for sure what items are on the rare drop table. Wearing a ring of wealth will increase the chance of getting these items if the monster being killed gives access to the rare drop table.

==Items likely to be on the rare drop table==
In the Knowledge Base, Jagex also implies that there are many other items in addition to the ones that are confirmed. Though it can never be said for sure what items are on the table, items that are repeatedly dropped by many different monsters who also drop the confirmed items listed above, are likely to be on the rare drop table. As with the confirmed items, wearing a ring of wealth will increase the chance to get these items if the monster being killed gives access to the rare drop table.

==Additional drops ==

Added with [[Update:Ring of Wealth, Shanties, Trolls and Dungeoneering|the ring of wealth update]] on [[15 March]] [[2011]], these drops have an increased drop rate when wearing the ring of wealth. '''They can be obtained without a ring of wealth''' - however they are significantly rarer without it. All monsters listed [[#Monsters that give access to the rare drop table|below]] give access to this list.
