What is the drop rate for plate items?

I am hoping to upgrade my charge blade soon but I need an S. Magala Plate. I have fought the Shagaru Magala a number of times now, breaking all the different parts off it where possible, but the Plate still hasn't dropped for me.

Does anybody know how rare the plates for monsters are? It is more likely to drop if I break a certain part of a monster?

There are several ways to obtain different drops. Breaking a monster part will get you a reward from a specific drop table on the post-quest rewards screen. You can also perform certain actions to cause the monster drop an item, depicted as a shiny node.

As for S. Magala Plates, they can be obtained as a shiny drop (2%), body carve (3%), horn break (3%), and tail carve (4%). So to maximize your chances of getting a Plate, you'll want to cause as many shiny drops as possible, which would involve mounting and toppling the monster, break his horn, cut off his tail, and bring armor with the Carving skill or eat for Felyne Carver so you can get extra carves off his body.

Note, these drop chances are for Low-Rank. Chances for a Plate are slightly higher in High-Rank.
