Loot

Drops and loot filter

How Project Lage drops more loot, which new items drop how often, and the built-in loot filter.

More loot for everyone

Every game drops as if 5 players were in it, even when you play alone. The game lowers each monster's chance to drop nothing as more players join; Project Lage bakes that in for one player, and real players in your game lower it further.

Higher runes drop more often: in the rune drop chain, each rune is 2 times as likely compared to the step down to the rune below it, so a rune roll stops earlier on its way down.

Loot filter

Project Lage comes with a loot filter. Important drops get a line in the drop list at the top left of the screen (up to 10 lines, each shown for 20 seconds), runes show their number in orange, orbs are purple and maps gold. The high runes Pul to Zod have spoken drop sounds: a voice calls the rune's name. The rules, top to bottom (the first rule that matches decides):
