Hello everyone.
I was really hoping there was a way ( a tool to be more specific) to tell the drop rates for Item specific Prefixes and Suffixes combo,because as of it now I have 0 idea should I invest time farming for a specific MI or is in the realm of fantasy gear.
For example I`m currently farming the CT Druid from the top 20.My result so far: I got only the Medal on run 35 (God it feels so good), I farmed the two rings for like 20h and none of them dropped. After 10h of Valaxteria runs it didnt drop a single Vindicator prefix( I understand rare is rare, but seriously?).Also after 10h no pants either.
I can spend like another 20h per Mi which I think is reasonable.But grinding MI`s for 500h-1000h+ on single character just no.
The closest thing that we have now is Modal spreadsheet, but its difficult for me to use.Considering we have the drop rates for the other target farmable gear I dont understand why we dont have them for the Mi`s too.
Thank you.

modal’s sheet is the only thing we have, probably because it’s a lot of work to determine affix drop rates with all the variables, Modal also explain this process How to determine the drop chance for an MI w/ specific affixes
And it’s not like other items with just a single fixed entry like we can see on grimtools (aside from real world RNG ofc), so you’re contending with layers of chance
also keep in mind everything is user created tools, GT etc is not something the devs gave us, so if you want something more or better than Modal’s tool, you’d have to make it yourself or convince another user to make it
(and i would assume you’re still going to run into the same problem you have right now, real luck application isn’t a fixed line vs probability)

I understand,thank you for the explanation.
I hope my post didnt sound entitled or disrespectful. We have some amazing tools at our disposal which make the game way more fun and accesible.Also Modal did a great job I`m just bad at math.
P.S also the post is not a dig or something at the top20 builds they are strong enough even without the perfect gear and everyone involved did amazing job.

the best example i can use to take drop rates, even if as accurate as we possibly have them, with a grain of salt is the famous Magi ring farming or even something as simple as Nightbringer/Outcasts secret etc, singular fixed item drops.
It might say you have 5 or even 10% drop rate, but you still have a bunch of people saying they needed 50 or even 100+ runs to get what they wanted.
Then add to that variable an item might be mutually exclusive, like Vala chest, so sure you might technically have a 50% drop chance with then a 5% chance of getting your desired affix. But like with the magi scenario, you might simply not be get the right spawn to begin with, over and over, blowing you already way past that 50% statistics, which is then impacting your affix interaction all that more.
(and that’s if the base item is even 50/50 to begin with and not lower 
)
“real” rng of affix bias vs probability can also seem totally out of whack sometimes, where you “strangely” get a bunch of extremely unfitting/unbiased affixes in a row. RNGesus and the divine Seed works in mysterious ways sometimes

Thanks for the detailed explanation it makes perfect sense now.
