The previous random_chance_with_looting function had a base chance, and a per_level bonus to that chance.
The new random_chance_with_enchanted_bonus for some reason has a per_level_above_first bonus instead, which as its name implies is only effective at levels 2 and above. In turn, all uses of it were given updated base chances. As a result, the player now effectively always has looting 1 for rare drops, and only looting 2 and above can increase this.
Example loot table
Expected behavior: item never drops without looting, always drops with looting 1 or higher
Actual behavior: item never drops without looting 2 or higher

On second thought and with some more testing, I think this report as written is wrong.
With no looting, you get base chance minus per_level_above_first
With looting I, you get base chance
With looting II, you get base chance plus per_level_above_first
This is a bit confusing, but the effect seems to be the same as it was before.
Can indeed confirm after testing.
