Back when Jagex started revealing drop rates of many items in-game in 2017-18, Mod Pi tweeted the drop rates from lava strykewyrms (and WildyWyrm) to be as follows:
Lava strykewyrms on-task: 1/2056
Lava strykewyrms off-task: 1/4096
WildyWyrm: 1/512

Now, looking more into the WildyWyrm on the Wiki, it's stated that the WildyWyrm drops uniques at a rate of 8 times more commonly than the regular variants, on-task. This again is coming from Mod Pi.

So, what's going on?
- Did he simply mean to say off-task instead of on-task when talking about the WildyWyrm?
- Are WildyWyrm rates actually 8/2056 instead?
- Are lava strykewyrm rates actually 1/4096 on-task? Then what would they be off-task?
My own drops more resemble the 1/4k on-task rate, but that could just be bad luck (3 rares in 12k kc). I'm not complaining as they're decent money regardless, but it would be nice to know what the actual rates are.
