Galactic Chase Drop Rates

I don't see why they'd change it. Yes 20 was the high before, but the end result was (based on drop rate) you'd end up with the same number of shards no matter what node you farmed. Increasing to 5% would increase shard yield. I'd be very surprised if they do that.

There's no 20e energy cantina node, so confirmation would be great. It could just mean the highest you can get is 64% in cantina, but they could have rejigged the drop rates too.

Actually I'm not sure that's what he's saying. Had he said "rigged" then yes, they don't do that but "rejigged" implies an adjustment to account for the lack of a 20 energy node which would have higher chances of drops. Perhaps it will be a 5% per energy spent versus 4%/energy as with Emperor's Shuttle.

Its 4% per 1 energy

It’s no different than farming for Anakin’s ship and getting emperor’s shuttle

The max drop is 64% per sim from cantina but you get more attempts compared to 20 energy

At the end of the day, you should be able to get 330 shards in 8,250 energy regardless of which node you are farming

Do you have an official source for this information?

I’m arguing that even if it was 4% per energy, you would still end up with 330 shards after 8,250 energy (approx.) even if the highest node available was 16 energy, 12 energy or 10

I don’t have an official source regarding Hyena but I think the previous statement of 4% per energy still holds true and is official enough since they haven’t given a reason to doubt this

i got 11 shards for 31 battles on a 12 energy node, at the moment it looks like less than 4% per energy

How did you come to the conclusion of "way less than 4%" when the expected drop from 31 battles would be 14-15 shards?

I think the 4% per 1 energy is pretty close to the mark. I’m almost exactly hitting that rate on two different nodes (with different energy spends).

The Aussies in our guild are observing ~4% per energy in our guild also with >100 samples.

I got 37 shards by spending 960 energy. The drop rate is 3.8%, close to 4%.

Is the event live for you folks? I don't see it in US Central time...
