* The Thief class in ''VideoGame/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).

** Similar to the above, being Runic, ''VideoGame/TorchlightII'' has a Lucky Die socketable that increases the chances of finding a magic item.

* ''VideoGame/{{Etrian Odyssey}}'' has the Formaldehyde item, which makes the enemy it's used on drop all of its possible drop items, including conditional drops, as long as it's defeated on the turn the item is used.

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

** Loot Bonus increases the chance of finding special items, such as gear, ingredients, and armor.
** Loot Quality increases the chance of finding rarer items and ingredients from mob drops and loot chests, and can only be provided by ingredients.

* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'' has them in spades, mainly the Rare Drop Rate tickets (most commonly the +250% variety) and Tri-Boosters that combine this function with an ExperienceBooster and a Meseta drop boost, although other sources such as the Alliance Tree and {{Freemium}} subscription benefits also have it. Using rare drop boosters was so common that they were basically mandatory for a chance to get RareRandomDrop items, and almost all drop rates in later Episodes were balanced around the assumption that they were always on. Rare Drop Rate tickets continue to persist into ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2NewGenesis'', although unlike the previous game they are not freely available to buy and are much weaker, making them borderline TooAwesomeToUse.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}}'' Riki has innate abilities that will increase enemies dropping better loot: one for medium quality loot, and one for high quality loot. These abilities can be shared among other party members if they have enough affinity points with him.

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

* ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSin'' and ''[[VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSinII Original Sin II]]'' have the Lucky Charm SkillScore, which increases the chances of finding valuable loot in (randomly generated) chests and other containers.

* ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSin'' has the Lucky Charm SkillScore, which increases the chances of finding valuable loot in the (randomly generated) chests and other containers.

* ''VideoGame/PathOfExile'' has the the Item Quantity mod, which increase the chance of enemies dropping more items. There's also the Item Rarity mod, which [[DumpStat only increases the chance of an item dropping with a higher rarity class]]. Maps can be modified to increase item drops while making them harder, while also increasing item density to indirectly increase the number of items found per map. Various map enhancers can be used to add specific bonuses to a map.

* ''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. Increased item rarity is also an item property that can be generated on most kinds of equipment.

* The ''Westernanimation/{{Wakfu}}'' MMORPG has a character stat called Prospecting, which increases the value of the loot your party gains after a battle. Unlike other stats like health and damage, Prospecting cannot be increased by leveling up your character. Instead, you can only increase it by equipping the right gear, or by completing optional challenges during a battle. Players of the Enutrof class, who are depicted in-universe as greedy treasure hunters, gain a natural bonus to their Prospecting stat.

* ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'' has the bubblegum item, which increases item drop rates 100% for 30 minutes. It's not an ordinary item and is usually given out as an event prize.

* In ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'', the Game Boy Horror SP guarantees enemies will drop rare items if they could potentially drop it. If you do not have this item, the optional Splash Bros. move will retrieve the rare drop the targeted enemy would drop.

Certain things in games will cause RandomDrops and {{Rare Random Drop}}s from enemies to either increase in frequency and/or increase in quality.

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 [[GameplayRandomization 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%.

*** Items that specifically increase luck include the aforementioned Ring of Arcana, 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.
