* ''VideoGame/TheLogomancer'': The Temptes Tuxedo doubles the drop rate of items.

* ''VideoGame/{{XCOM2}}'' has a Guerilla Tactics School where you can use supplies (money) to purchase permanent upgrades to your fighting force. One of them is Vulture, which makes it so that any time enemies drop equipment, they drop an extra piece of gear. The fact that it's a [[LaResistance Guerilla]] '''Tactics''' school upgrade, along with the fact that as a resistance movement, XCOM now relies on scavenging and looting supplies, implies that it teaches soldiers how to check hiding places and equipment that the soldiers would otherwise be inclined to overlook when [[{{Plunder}} looting their fallen foes]].

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'': The recurring Lucky Lucky ability increases the chances of an enemy dropping an item when killed.

** The Ebisu Raiment in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDespair'' increases the chance of finding rarer items from chests. Considering the game is full of [[RareRandomDrop insanely rare stuff]] and progression revolves around getting better stuff, it's a huge timesaver.

* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'': Many of the Day Job bonuses can give certain guaranteed item drops.
* ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' has equipment and buffs that increase item drops.
* ''VideoGame/TerraBattle'': Treasure Hunter increases item drop probability.

Say the player party in a fantasy roleplaying game is wandering around the PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling because one of the {{Random Encounter}}s is a BlackKnight that has a 2% chance of dropping a DiscOneNuke weapon. One of the characters can equip an item, say the "[[RingOfPower Ring of Treasure]]", that increases the drop rate to 10%. Or the knight won't drop that weapon at all unless one of the players has that ring equipped.

There are many ways to boost these drops. In addition to boosting equipment, characters could cast spells that temporarily increase drop rates (usually lasting by time, a set number of battles, or as long as the characters remain in an area), or some characters could have an innate ability that boosts drops. Heck even NewGamePlus can count as a booster, as some games will have drops that will not happen in a straight new game.

This can not only help in getting certain weapons (including the InfinityPlusOneSword), but also aids in getting material components for ItemCrafting.

* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' features the Vault Hunter Relic (a PreOrderBonus or Paid DLC) that gives a +5% chance of rare loot drops. Specifically, it makes White-tier loot more likely to become Green-tier loot.

* Armor Games' [[WebGames Web Game]] ''Sin Mark'': having the Lucky Charm trinket equipped increases the chance of slain enemies dropping trinkets.

*** Items that specifically increase luck include the Lapis Lazuli which raises luck 20 points, and the Alucart set which seems to be a JokeItem but increases luck by 30 as a SetBonus.

* In the ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' games there is the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring which increases item drops (not to be confused with its Silver counterpart, which increases soul drops). There is also the helmet the Symbol of Avarice which increases drop rates and soul drops, but decreases HP when equipped.

* There are several in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'': the Treasure Medal, which makes gear upgrade items appear more often; the Bug Medal, which is the same as the above, only they are used to increases a potion's potency; and the Cursed Medal, which is a combo of the above, only with the drawback of being unable to open your Adventure Pouch until said medal is dropped off at the Item Check. The Treasure and Bug Medals can be obtained in Beedle's Air Shop, while the Cursed Medal is a milestone reward as part of a long side quest.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' games have the Scrounger perk, which allows for finding a lot more ammunition than before. In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'', a higher LuckStat also means more/better loot and ammo in containers.
** A similar perk is Fortune Finder, which increases the chance and amount of caps found.

* ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'': The Scavenger Perk increases the amount of bullets found.

** The ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow'' games have the Soul Eater Ring, which causes enemies to drop their souls more often (and gain their powers).

* In ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'', the Game Boy Horror SP guarantees enemies will drop rare items if they could potentially drop it.

* ''VideoGame/PathOfExile'' has the the Item Quantity and Item Quality support gems, which respectively increase the drop chance and slant drops towards better currency and more enchantments on gear.

* In ''Franchise/Pokemon'', certain Pokemon have an ability called Compound Eyes. It's main effect is to increase the accuracy of moves. [[GuideDangIt However]], it also has an effect outside of battle of increasing the chances that a wild Pokémon will be holding an item.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' games have the Scrounger perk, which allows for finding a lot more ammunition than before.

* In the ''{{Franchise/Castlevania}}'' games, the "Rare Ring" appears in several games. It increases the rate of item drops, and usually increases luck a few points. In ''Symphony'' it's called the "Ring of Arcana".

* ''VideoGame/DiabloII'': Magic Find gear makes the items that drop more likely to be higher quality. Basically, Magic Find makes more of the items that drop be magical or better (Rare/Set/Unique). If you have 100% MF, if an item dropped normally had a 10% chance to be magical, it will now have a 20% chance. You won't get more items dropping, but the ones that do drop will be better items. More players in a game = more item drops, so you want to try and combine the MF with a big MP game for the best results. Magic Find technically still exists in ''DiabloIII'', but it's much less powerful than in ''II'', and few items give it anyway.

* The Thief class in ''DragonQuestIX'' has a LimitBreak called Itemized Kill, which guarantees an item drop from the enemy (even {{Bonus Boss}}es). It can be combined with the Armamentalist's Voice of Experience (more XP) to give Haulellujah (increased gold, XP and drops).

* ''GoldenSun'': Killing monsters with the elemental Djinn they're weakest to gives more experience, money, better stat boosts if levelling up, and increases the item drop chance.

* ''{{Paladog}}'' has a type of ring that increases the chances of finding rings when killing enemies.
