Success = [(skill base% + 1%/2 ranks) * mob resistance] + (affinity boost/2) + effect boost

• Stats have been proven to do either nothing, or close to nothing to affect the final landing chance.
  • Example: All the stats at your personal character stats window.
• Affinity Bonuses affects the landing rate.
  • Example: Any Soul Stone/Tarot that adds towards death-based damage (Phantom, Chernobog, Inugami, Arahabaki if CHAOS) will contribute to the chance the aliment type, Stone, will land on an enemy.
• Any weapon that has an affinity boost will also add to the chance.
  • Example: Cursebringer, Death
• However, modding a weapon will not affect the landing rate.
  • Example: Adding +15% death on slot 3 of a weapon.
