while analyzing - rewriting drops for sigma, I figured it would be interesting to explain how duncraig "Sacred Bias" drops work. This isn't really a bias towards sacred items, but a bias towards higher qlvl (quality level) items. This means that the buff works for tiered items as well - in fact, Duncraig is not only the best place to find Sacreds, but also to find tier 6 items. And did you know that every Tier 6 item is as rare as its Sacred variant? Next time you find a tier 6 unique Naginata in Duncraig make sure to feel bad
anyways after several days working with treasureclasses, I made some formulas to get the exact chance of base equipments to drop.
what makes duncraig "sacred" bias so good is that the higher the qlvl of the item, the higher the boost. So high qlvl items like naginatas, warp blades, labrys are the ones that receive the biggest buff.
Number explanation: percent chance for item to drop if equipment drop is chosen. Note that not every kill might give an equipment drop. Because depending on area, the chance a monster will drop an equip is different. For example, regular mobs have 10% chance to drop equip, elites & dunc mobs have 25%, fauzt 17%, etc... These numbers increase with player count, by the way.
So if you want to find how many normal monsters you need to kill on average to get a sacred Naginata, formula would be
100 / chance for base item / chance for equip
so 100 / 0,0109 / 0,1 = 91.743 kills - however in duncraig it's 100 / 0,1116 / 0,25 = 3.584 kills. Impressive, although don't forget that killing a normal monster is easier and faster.Base Equipment Drops - Everywhere but Duncraig

That's it. And although this is supposed to be a dunc topic, it also illustrates exactly the rarities of all base equipments outside of dunc.
Fun fact: if you're looking for sacred leather gloves, boots or sash, duncraig is the worst place to search, they are 33% rarer than anywhere else on destruction They have a really low qlvl, so sacreds in groups armo72 and armo75 become rarer. So if you want to get for example demonic touch, Tran Athulua is much faster than dunc.
