Glossary Entry: Drops
Quick Definition
In a lot of games, players can find items after defeating enemies or completing specific in-game tasks. Items that are generated this way are called "drops", as in, "this monster drops [such an such item] when defeated".
Most of the time, the possible items that can be found when defeating an enemy are determined by the sort of enemy the player is facing. This is kind of important, as it doesn't make a lot of sense for cow hide to be dropped by a chicken.
See also: farming, which is an activity that's often driven by a player's desire for specific drops.
