Omicron Ability Materials in Cantina Battles

It's been over two weeks now since I've seen an omicron ability material drop out of cantina battles. I completely understand that the drop rate is pretty low and that is not a huge sample size, but now 16+ days in at 3 refreshes per day is starting to make me wonder. Is anyone else having this problem recently or is it just my own bad luck streaking? Just curious, thanks!
  • I get hot and cold streaks with these like everything else. I had a two week stretch where I ended up with 5 omis and a six week stretch where I had 0. As low as the drop rate is, I think it's hard to see it average out and when you get a lot of variance it feels like feast or famine.
  • Decent sized data set here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/12aj7nr/omicron_drop_rate_report_5_the_resequel/

    Tracks the drop rate around 0.5%

    I'll add to the FAQ when not working or being dad.

    I didn't see any from September, so 16 days is normal)) But I only use free energy without refreshes.
  • You cannot reasonably farm omicrons via cantina battles. They are an occasional bonus, but nothing you can count on.

    I estimate I get a handful per year from spending 400+ energy per day.
  • yep no problem, i just hadn't seen a streak of 16 days before. If others are seeing them recently this can be closed
  • Be nice if they upped the rate a bit to match the rate they're slathering them all over new toons. Bane get 2 or 3? I lost count
