I started in 2017. This discussion was about challenge eyeballs, which did not exist in the pit raid when they were removed from the tank raid.

If you don't bother to take note of drops from the tank raid then I can't continue this discussion.

If it really matters to you, the types of gear that can drop from tank is available on swgoh.gg. Whether I personally have or have not gotten any specific piece of that gear makes no difference. We know what can drop, so my personal loot drops aren't really relevant to the conversation.

More interesting would be to find what used to drop before the change, and compare that to what can now drop, and determine if the removal of GES is an overall downgrade in tank raid drops. It might be, but removal of challange gear from ALL raids is a net gain.

That would require knowing the chance of each to drop. Which, since it’s not published, I’m not sure how you would know without paying attention to actual raid rewards.

Some basic assumptions could be made:
1) The chance that a gold piece drops vs a purple drops was unchanged between old and new raid rewards.
2) The number of pieces that drop of a given color remain unchanged between old and new raid rewards.

I expect 1 is true (but of course it can't be proven or disproven without access to the code repository).
I think 2 is also true in terms of tank raid rewards. The changes to challange gear removal also revolved around the hsith dropping full pieces compared to now. I have a vague recollection of them reducing overall amounts of components too, but my memory may be faulty here. But I think that change (if it happened at all) was only for hsith rewards.

But given those 2 assumptions a comparison could be made. But again, either of those two are unaffected by my personal raid reward drops. Even if I had personally tracked them, my own sample size on its own would be small enough that margin of error would be pretty wide.

I found a way past the bottleneck. Stick with it, stay positive, and one day CG may smile in upon you too.

I’ve never posted about having too much golden eyeball salvage, but I do wonder...

I’ve always had upwards of 2000 gold eyeball salvage, while almost never having more than 50 black eyeball salvage. Since both are required for the same gear piece, and one is far more abundant than the other, I’m curious how you guys ever managed to get that much of the black eyeball salvage that you’d run out of the gold?

It takes some concerted effort, but if you collect lots and lots of the black salvage and equip your heroes up to g12, you will operate at a net loss on the gold bits.

I didn't even realize you could get them in the daily prize box.
