I've done thousands of araxxor kills solo and never gotten a drop rate below 1/50 for leg pieces.
Personally I've always hovered around 1/55 to 1/60 for legs doing 0 duo kills (which I'm thankful for now Jagex have revealed how terrible the drop rates are), but I've had 3 ridiculously long dry streaks of around 250 to 300 kills. Unfortunately, the geometric distribution has a heavy right skew, so when you're unlucky, you can be very, very unlucky, which can greatly affect your average drop rates.
This is probably true. My leg drop rate was as low as 1/32.8 when I had 1050 kc, but now the drop rate is 1/51.4 with a 5138 kc. All those dry streaks just killed my "lucky" drop rate based on the given 1/40 leg drop rate. My hilt drop rate has improved quite a bit in the same period of time from 1/210 to 1/160.6, but still nowhere close to the given 1/120 drop rate.
I'm thinking that since the Araxxi's loot is determined as she dies, and your kc still gets incremented even if you don't loot the corpse (could happen if you disconnect or suffer a double kill), then this would have a negative effect on your drop rate if it was a leg piece or hilt you obtained. I admit i've had suffered many double kills when I was just learning how to kill Rax, and have also suffered disconnects (loot doesn't automatically go to your bank during a disconnect unless you've actually looked at your loot I think). Clue Drops -> 3a Range Top (h357), 3a Full Helm (h439), 3a Druidic Staff (e969), Barrows Dye (h1755, h2546, e680, e1567, e2038, e2160, m480, m783, m862), Shadow Dye (e510, e1970, e1985, h2948), Ice Dye (e1539, e2804), 3a Dye (e3129)
