I find that a high Survival Bonus does effect the drop types. With a 95% SB rating I find that 1 in 15-30 drops for my lvl 91 character are set item drops. This may not be typical for some but I have found it works for me. I have no idea about multipliers.

As far as I can remember, it isn't exactly 0.8%. When you have lower chance to find special items it's closer to 1%, and when you have more it's further away. There is a formula on the SIF I'm almost sure of it, but I can't seem to find it. Maybe if Frosty or Rotluchs stop by they can help you out, or if Wolfe has a link to it too...

That would be great! I'm sorry I wasn't much help, I'm horrible at trying to figure out all the mathmatical formulas and such  |
