local rewards = {
{id = 2148, count = {10, 40}}, -- gold coins
{id = 2152, count = {1, 3}}, -- platinum coins
{id = 7618, count = {1, 2}}, -- mana potion

local rareRewards = {
{id = 2160, count = 1}, -- crystal coin
{id = 2392, count = 1}, -- fire sword
}

function onUse(player, item, fromPosition, target, toPosition, isHotkey)
item:remove()

-- Rare roll (0.5%)
if math.random(1000) <= 5 then
local reward = rareRewards[math.random(#rareRewards)]
player:addItem(reward.id, reward.count)
player:getPosition():sendMagicEffect(CONST_ME_FIREWORK_BLUE)
player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "Lucky! You found a rare item!")
return true
end

-- Normal reward
local reward = rewards[math.random(#rewards)]
local count = math.random(reward.count[1], reward.count[2])
player:addItem(reward.id, count)
player:getPosition():sendMagicEffect(CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE)
player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "You found something useful!")
return true
end

4. Add the drop to monsters​

Inside any monster XML:

<item id="9000" chance="500" /> <!-- 5% -->

___________________________________________________________
You can adjust the value (e.g., 250 = 2.5%, 1000 = 10%).
____________________________________________________________

Configuration Tips

• Change the item id if 9000 is used in your server.
• Feel free to add/remove rewards from both tables.
• To adjust rare drop chance, edit:

if math.random(1000) <= 5 then

(5 = 0.5% → change to 10 for 1%, etc.)
