Does prestige level still affect frequency of rare item drops?
I just went through seven bloodwebs of a P9'd character in his mid-20s, and I got five iris. Does prestiging still boost the rate at which rare items are found in the bloodweb (even by a minuscule amount), or was I just lucky?

I think it still does up until p3 like it did before; However, I am uncertain if the chance of getting better rarity add-ons increases past p3. I don't recall any devs saying anything about that, but it would make sense actually. I noticed I have been getting higher rarities at lower levels as well

What you can't tell?

It could just be RNG. I also notice that I had to go through almost thirty bloodwebs to get three or four of my favorite green addons, even though 2-3 greens were dropping per bloodweb. Meanwhile, I got almost three times as many of my favorite purple addon.
I remember making a thread here when I first started posting accusing the devs of having removed Dead Rabbit from Michael because it took so many level 50 bloodwebs for me to find another one. Then I got a whole bunch just after I made the thread. RNG just be like that sometimes.
I hope it does, though. It'd be nice.
It'll be interesting to see if there's any noticeable difference once you start getting up to the really high prestige bloodwebs.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has any anecdotal reports of this. It could just be coincidence that I'm getting a bunch of iri addons at low levels, but if other people are experiencing it, too, it might actually be a thing.

Just went through another five bloodwebs. Four iris.

One would assume they have done their own testing with P100 characters...
Imagine getting only iris at that level
It would be nice though

Even if it saves rarity chances, those chances are so low it doesn't really matter. Neither for P3 nor for P9, I'm afraid.
Devs mentioned in mid-ptb report that they've heard a ton of feedback about how hard getting rare addon now should be (and really is). They promised to address this proplem in future by increasing rarity of addons and items. I think we should interpret this as "no, prestiging doesn't boost the rate at which rare items are found in the bloodweb" or at least as "doesn't boost it enough". Hope, they will implement this boost soon tho.

I assumed that, if they did such a thing, they'd make it so that browns and yellows would still appear more often than rarer addons, but maybe not by much once you're at P100.
Nothing but iris would be awful on a lot of killers. Ghostface and Sadako's best addons are yellow and brown.
What were the increased iri chances at old P3? Like, 5%? People did testing, and it almost never made a difference in practice, but 15% at P9 might.
I'm getting iris in two-thirds of my bloodwebs, it seems like. Not sure what it means. Were ultra rare addons this common in the 20s and 30s before the update?

My Felix is p11. How many should it be? 18%? Haven't seen any BNP and maybe got one or two syringes. In 35 levels. There were more purple things, but not like crazy more, just ok, and mostly it was purple offerings, not items. And my Pig (p0, 30-35lvl) yesterday got 2 iri tapes with 3 purple timers in one blood web. So maybe you're lucky. Just like my friends who somehow stack bloody streamers when I get one in a blue moon.
Anyway, if your case is normal, then everything is pretty fine and there's nothing to change. But I saw posts where people on ptb spent bp to count how many addons they can get with new system versus old system. +5% every 3 prestiges? Doesn't seem like that. In luckiest case it saves p3 bonus, without further increasing.
And the fact that bhvr acknowledged this and promised to increase rarity speaks for itself.

I'm still getting iris once per bloodweb, but I haven't tried survivor.
Either I'm lucky, or the rates for killer and survivor are different. Which would make some sense. A lot of killers don't even have iris worth running, but I definitely don't want to see four BNPs every match.

You should compare your p9 kiler with p0 killer (maybe two of each to be sure) going through same levels. Smth like from 0 to 40. And compare them level by level and on average. I bet, you won't notice a big difference. Maybe couple iris more on average. At least that's how I feel with my characters. Even if I won't compare killers with survs, only killers with killers and survs with survs: P0 pig, p9 Michael, p11 Felix, p4 not main survs... Pretty same, I don't see crazy stuff like yours. At least not 7 iris mid 20s... Idk

The experiment continues.
Mikey (P10) had a similar experience as Clown, with iris beginning to appear in the 20s and becoming ubiquitous (in 3/4ths of bloodwebs) in the 30s.
The only P0 I have at this point is Demo, and he's at level 40, so I might have to try leveling up him up and see how he does on P1. Will report back.
