Introduction
By default, RPG Maker MV limits enemies to only drop up to 3 items max and at very limited drop rates. This plugin allows you to add more than 3 items at drop. In addition to having more than 3 drops, this plugin also allows you to expand the enemy drops to have conditional drops, drops that will only appear before the player if certain conditions are met.
Generic Drop – Notetags
Use the following notetags to determine extra enemy drops. These drops will drop normally without any special conditions other than having to go through and pass a random number generator.
Enemy Notetags:
<Item x: y%>
<Weapon x: y%>
<Armor x: y%>
Adds item, weapon, or armor ID of x to the enemy’s drop pool with a y% chance of dropping the item. Insert multiples of this notetag to add more drop items for the enemy drop pool.
<Enemy Drops>
Item x: y%
Weapon x: y%
Armor x: y%
</Enemy Drops>
Alternatively, using the above notetag format will allow you to group a large number of enemy drops together. Replace x with the item, weapon, or armor ID to give the item a drop rate of y%.
<Drop Potion: x%>
<Drop Short Sword: x%>
<Drop Feather Cap: x%>
If you prefer to use names instead, you can use the above format for the notetags. This will make the named item have a drop rate of x%. If you have multiple items in your database with the same name, priority will be given to the item with the highest ID in the order of item, weapons, then armors. Insert multiple multiples of this notetag to add more drop items for the enemy drop pool.
<Enemy Drops>
Potion: x%
Short Sword: x%
Feather Cap: x%
</Enemy Drops>
Alternatively, you can write your notetag like such to group together a list of named items. This will make the named item have a drop rate of x%. If you have multiple items in your database with the same name, priority will be given to the item with the highest ID in the order of item, weapons, then armors. Insert multiple multiples of this notetag to add more drop items for the enemy drop pool.
Conditional Drop – Notetags
Sometimes, you want certain conditions to be met before enemies will drop a specific item. These conditional drops would have a 0% chance otherwise. For each condition met, you can increase or decrease the drop rate. Use the below format to create a conditional drop.
Enemy Notetags:
<Conditional Item x Drop>
condition: +y%
condition: -y%
<Conditional Item x Drop>
<Conditional Weapon x Drop>
condition: +y%
condition: -y%
<Conditional Weapon x Drop>
<Conditional Armor x Drop>
condition: +y%
condition: -y%
<Conditional Armor x Drop>
The above notetags will create the conditions for item, weapon, or armor x to drop. Insert various conditions in between the notetags to produce the conditional rate increases or decreases of y% for the drop.
<Conditional Named Drop>
condition: +y%
condition: -y%
<Conditional Named Drop>
If you prefer to name your drop, use the above format. If database entries have matching names, priority will be given to the item with the highest ID in the order of items, weapons, then armor. Insert various conditions in between the notetags to produce the conditional rate increases or decreases for y% for the drop.
The following are various conditions you may use:
ALIVE MEMBERS EVAL
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
This checks the number of alive party members the player has when the drops are being calculated and made and runs it against an eval check.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Example: Alive Members > 1: +20%
Alive Members === 2: +25%
Alive Members <= 3: -30%
ALWAYS
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
This condition will always pass. This can be used as setting a base rate for the item drop.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Example: Always: +50%
item x COUNT EVAL
weapon x COUNT EVAL
armor x COUNT EVAL
named item COUNT EVAL
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
This checks the quantity of specific items, weapons, armors, and/or named items you have. If you choose a named item and multiple database entries share the name of that named item, priority will be given to the highest ID in the order of items, weapons, and then armor.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Example: Item 1 Count > 1: +20%

DEAD MEMBERS EVAL
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
This checks the number of dead party members the player has when the drops are being calculated and made and runs it against an eval check.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Example: Dead Members > 1: +20%
Dead Members === 2: +25%
Dead Members <= 3: -30%
DEATH TURN EVAL
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Example: Death Turn > 5: +10%

EVAL code
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
This will run an eval check for the code you’ve inserted. If it returns true then the condition is met.

LAST STRIKE named
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
This checks to see if the last strike on the enemy is item x, skill x, or a named action. If a named action is used and multiple database entries share the name of the action, priority will be given to the highest ID in the order of skills then items.
