LSP and "rare drops"

[Troll Bomber]

To a certain degree, I understand the way drop "wheels" work, but still have a few questions:

 

How is LSP calculated? Can it even be "saved up"?

 

Are the 100 silver ore, 67 natures, and rune javelins, ect. drops taken off the "rare items" wheel that uses up your LSP? Is this why people semi-rage over these useless drops?

 

Rather than receiving the useless drops, what "good drops" are players expecting? The new drops that RoW brought?

 

Is RoW required to receive the new drops, or does it just increase the chances?

 

If LSP can be saved up and "used" up, what kind of drops does it get "wasted" on in boss fights? Anything other than the big name items?

 

Sorry for so many questions, it's just that I've heard the term used often as though people save it up and hate when it gets wasted on a bad drop.

Makes sense if people are receiving these new drops in place of lootshare potential. But i think LSP only applies when you are lootsharing, so we can't be sure.

 

RoW is not needed to recieve any of the new drops.

K, well I noticed whenever anyone received a rare drop live 100 noted silver or rune kite or w/e they got mad, and I didn't know if it had to do with them receiving that drop and "losing good drop potential".

good drops to get in LS: charms as well as anything that is worth more than its ge value or anything that is worth much more than your LSP pile - for example, getting a torva plate in LS would be good. so would getting a divine sigil

 

bad drops to get in LS: anything that is worth less than its ge value or anything that is worth around the total amount of your LSP. for example getting a spectral sigil would be bad (only because getting a divine later would be preferable, and now that you have no LSP you will not likely get the divine.)
