Loot Statistics talk:Dwarf Soldier

The percentage calculation is wrong. The usefull information here is NOT amount/[kills_to_get] but "Drop Rate", as in:


 * [Amount] / [Amount total sum] *100

This would be usefull to inform us that this or that item is more comon or more rare.

Example

For "Axe Ring" it shows


 * Item: Axe Ring
 * Amount: 1
 * Kills to get: 387
 * Percentage: 0.26% (1/387 = 0.2583%)

But using the right formula you'd get 0.06% as result, meaning: from everything you can get from a Dwarf Soldier, only 0,06% of all items will be "Axe Ring", which gives a better view from item rarity.

If it was an Spreadsheet, and considering the follow info:


 * Column A: Item
 * Column B: Amount
 * Column C: Drop Rate
 * Column D: Kills to get

For C3 cell (Axe ring), the formula should be something like: =B3/SUM($B$2:$B$13)

Please consider this revision.
