What even are vanilla drop rates?
This mod will use the numbers for drop values within the games code when discussing features. They will look weird if you have seen drop rates for other games. For example 100 drop value does not mean you are guaranteed the item every time you kill the enemy. It means that if you pass a check based on your character's own drop rate stat, the item will drop.

The drop formula is (probably)
DR / (DR + 200) * DV / 100
where
DR is Drop Rate, your characters drop rate based on items and willpower
DV is Drop Value, the number in the game files and the number this mod changes

This doesn't really matter, as the actual effect doubles the rate at which the item will drop with this mod installed. But it was important so you know that even if the mod says 100 you won't always drop the item.

For example in vanilla whenever you slay a blade wraith at 50 item drop, you have a 1/5 chance to get a chance for each item the enemy can drop. In vanilla this means you only have a 1/12.5 chance at getting a wraith rib. With this mod you have a 1/5 chance

Features
All upgrade and generic transfusion materials drop value doubled (fang, poem, lock of hair, amber idol, etc)
Trophies drop value raised from 40 to 100 (blade wraith ribs, drowned berserker ears, etc)
Gray pearls drop value increased from 5 to 25 (they only drop from bola eyes and angsty skeletons)

For modders or anyone wanting to further tweak or merge this mod into others
Included in monsters/data/enhanced is a text document with (notepad++) regex expressions to quickly add these changes to any mods that would overwrite the monsters file. Use the salt and sanctuary editor to unpack the files into XML then follow the instructions included to make the changes. This can also be used for any future large updates if I do not update this mod.
