On topic:
Flash is right, I forgot about the fact that there is a map loot table and a boss loot table. This complicates my vanity drop thoughts even more since a vanity can come from a boss or mob or chest, and then also a couple different loot table used for the same instances.
I gotta wonder about this:
"Vanities are generated (or not) as soon as first toon enters a map. If it is generated - it drops anyway (though it depends to whom it wil drop.... still only natural luck affects this)"
I wonder if this means running in a full group or solo, whether it generates loot for 5 or it generates only for one, and if for 5, then it reduces the chances of a vanity drop when solo since loot gets left behind uncollected. If it drops anyways no matter what if generated to the map, then it benefits to run solo. Hard for me to say,,,,
Like the classic vanities, they can only drop from Level 5 map bosses, and they seem to happen more often than the world drop vanities. I think those may be a constant in the loot table for the level 5 map bosses, but maybe only a few numbers on a roll can bring it out. I haven't come close to figuring out the world drop vanities, it's like they aren't even there, until it happens and it pops up from some random thing you have done a million times with junk results, like shooting a numa prime dog. I get a feeling like they randomly generate to the loot table once in a blue moon. From my extensive search for xrays and squidbuddy! in Numa Prime, it just doesn't feel like it is always in the loot table. I have seen thousands and thousands of rolls, and only a handful of vanity drops from there, and only two dropped to me running that maps daily for,,, must be almost a year now. Grrr I want a Squidbuddy!
Although it doesn't feel like it is always there in the loot table, they may be. Like xray, mechanical man, and squidbuddy! are always in the loot table but there is a less than 0.001% chance of it dropping and you just need that one lucky roll (right place,right time), I don't know. It would make a great episode of Unsolved Mysteries.
Ok, so. Nobody really knows but there is a lot of information from a lot of people on this forum, and a lot that can be gathered from your own experiences. Anything in the loot table is possible to drop to you without the luck enhancers, the enhancers just improve the chances. World vanities are really rare to happen, Pinks (legendary) are rare also but not as bad and are probably about the same as the level 5 boss classic vanities.
