Notes

Since the amount of item drop bonus from the Jekyllin hide belt varies with the moonlight (from 15% to 55%), there are times when equipping Mr. Accessory Jrs. or Grimacite gorgets in their place would be more advantageous.
As the V for Vivala mask can force item drops on critical hits, equipping this in a spare accessory slot could increase your chances. Note that this prevents your opponent from dropping the same item normally that combat.
Being underwater gives you an inherent penalty to item and meat drops, but can be reduced. See underwater adventuring.
The Penne Dreadful Pasta Guardian increases booze drops. It also increases food drops after reaching level 5 and all item drops after reaching level 10.
Disco Concentration and Rave Concentration increases item drops by 20% and 30% respectively, but can only obtained by Disco Bandits. See Disco Combos.
The Jack-in-the-Box provides twice the bonus of a Fairy, but only once every 3 turns.
The molten medallion, musty moccasins, and monstrous monocle become more effective when using them together. See their individual pages for details.
The Elvish sunglasses and El Tango de la Maldita Suegra provide 25% and 20% bonus to pickpocket chance, respectively.
Expert Timing provides a 20% increase, as you can have neither a weapon nor an off-hand equipped to benefit from this effect.
The Peppermint Rhino is a fairy-type familiar whose item drop bonus is doubled for candy.
