Long-Term Drop Rate Tracking Thread

Day 1 was pretty good for hard mode character shards, but one of the worst days I've had for Kylo. Purple blowdryers with a 15% drop rate at 10 energy a pop is a nightmare. I need at least 200 of these across my main team members. :(

Appreciate your work. I was thinking of doing something like this.

Looking forward to your results.

Interested to see how this turns out!

Updated with Day 2. Kylo Ren drop rates are starting to move back up, purple blowdryer continues to suck, and the hard shard characters are too small of sample size to conclude much.

Purple Blowdryer :D
I feel the pain bro. Not yet started farming but sometime soon I'll have to.

EDIT: can you maybe put in an extra row between the headings and 1/21/2016 or something? It wasn't all that clear at first that the attempts and the increases aren't on the same row.

I think farming LS/DS nodes for purple blowdryers is a hard road to hoe, they're available in Tier III challenges after level 62 at up to 5 drops per win so if you got lucky and got max drops, you'd get max 25 a day.

18-20 is more realistic though but still pretty good. I think CG is using it as a bit of a gate to keep gear levels down until you unlock Tier III challenges. Kind of how some of the PvE missions were gates with the detonators coming fast and furious (4L was it?) and you couldn't progress until you leveled up your guys past a certain point.

If only this were the case... Right now the Tier III AGI Gear Challenge (thus the appropriate one) drops 5 Mk V Laptops, which is very nice and all, but not as hard to farm as the darn Blowdryer. In fact, all rewards for AGI need to be pushed "down" a Tier, with Tier III becoming 3 Laptops 5 Blowdryers max, similar to the STR Challenge.

Day 3 posted - Kylo is sort of settling down at just under 30%, purple blowdryer at around 20%, and I'm still getting quite lucky at character hard shards.
I've stopped farming Barriss and Dooku because I'll be unlocking them in Cantina soon enough.

How do you keep farming 42 Kylo missions a day? I just did consecutive runs while spending my two refills at once, which was only 34 missions.
