To maintain some consistency, moved drop rate stats here rather than have them on the page

I would assume those drop rates are for Mosquitoes in 5-2 & I would like to mention that I find much greater success farming in 5-1 going after the 6 giant ticks that are scattered near the end of the level. I have no figures but I can whole heartedly say it's a much easier & more successful farming method than mosquito hunting. & nothing will fall through the boardwalk.

Critical Damage

I am trying to determine how critical damage value is applied to the final inflicted value. I speculate that either, the damage is applied as an additional attack damage that goes into effect during riposte/backstabbing, or the damage modifies the base attack of the weapon by the given percent (ranging from 160% to 200%). I should be able to distinguish this with a build that relies on high DEX. As of now, having 18/18/18/18 , a Crescent Secret Dagger +5 can out-damage a Fatal Secret Dagger + 5 in riposte/back-stab.
