Looting increases the chances of a mob dropping an item.

Tier Bonus
I 15%
II 30%
III 45%
IV 60%
V 75%

The final drop chance is calculated using the following formula, with chances above 100% representing a chance to drop an additional item.

FinalDropChance=BaseDropChance×(1+(0.15×LootingLevel))

Looting applies whenever a mob dies and the death is attributed to the player holding the weapon with Looting. This means that, for example, if a player using a Fire Veil Wand Fire Veil Wand, switching to a weapon with Looting, and then letting the mob die from their previously cast ability, Looting from the held weapon will apply.

Looting does not apply to Loot Share drops. However, for mobs that have an owner (such as  Mythological mobs and Sea Creatures), the killer's Looting level applies to the mob's owner.

Example 2

For example, 4 players - A, B, C and D - start hitting a A sprite icon representing Grim Reaper in Hypixel SkyBlock Grim Reaper.
