Anyone know the drop rates on the different keys?

MF has no effect on key drops.

I heard it was a 1 in 35 chance...

So who do you believe? ATMA or some d00d on battle.net?

[russruss]

I'm positive it was on these forums.

I think I may know what you're thinking about, russruss... I remember reading something like each individual drop slot has a 1 in 35 chance (or thereabouts) of dropping a key, but since the bosses can drop up to 5 keys, the overall chance becomes what helvete quoted.

This is a bit off, I think, but I believe this is what you're referring to. Perhaps someone who knows the statistics better can clarify (or tell me I'm completely wrong).

that would make more sense, because I have gotten two terrors at once.

Perhaps someone who knows the statistics better can clarify (or tell me I'm completely wrong).It's 1/68 for each pick of the summoner in a 1 or 2 player game. I could give you the rest of the odds, but none of them are near 1/35. That number has been floated on these forums multiple times, and the posters of it go down in varying amounts of flames.

Helvete, your drop rates are right on. Thats the same rate I have been using for quite some time. The part I didn't know about was the increase chance to drop with more people in the game. I don't know why, but it never occurred to me that was possible. Very interesting and helpful.

That's not "my" drop rates, all the credit should go to Dr. Tenshi for creating ATMA
