It's been a while and I've seen a number of posts complaining about shard drop rates so I decided to track data on Fleet Node 5A while I'm farming for Shaak Ti. I started tracking this after I had already collected 56/330 shards. Here's what I have so far.23 shards from 60 attempts = 38.3% drop rate. Better than the expected 33% but the sample size is still small.15-30% gear salvage rate.3-10% ship ability material rate.100% rate on training droids, enhancement droids, credits, ship credits, ally points.https://i.imgur.com/TKVveVa.pngBottom line: nothing new here, confirming what we already think we know. Will update periodically.7* Update 2020/01/07 253 drops / 755 attempts = 33.5% Blue/Purple gear = ~20% Ship ability mats = ~4% Ship reinforcement mats Mk1 = ~3% Mk2 = ~4% Mk3 = ~5% Omega = ~5% Reinforcement = ~15%F5B B1 Battle Droid: 172/525=32.8%L8B Xanadu Blood: 178/510=34.9%

As you said, way too small a sample size but I appreciate anyone who does this tracking.

Just for fun, I calculated the error bars (using a conventional counting statistics, obviously).It boils down to (38±8)%, i.e. the "real" drop rate is almost certainly between 30 and 46%. This is... vague.Anyway, yes. We know more stats are required ;)

I'm the one dragging the numbers down... currently running 86/285 (or just a skosh over 30%)Updated (17.Sep) to still a bit behind expected (but that isn't really news, with a 'slow' start the correction to normal will likely take longer to appear), now running at just over 30.5% at 119/390Latest update (23.Sep) still 2 days behind expected but slowly creeping closer, now at 150/480 or 31.25%.As of October 1st, 194/600 or 32.3%.

He got to 56, then started keeping track.

Shaak Ti Shard Farming: 253/755=33.5% (7* update). Bonus Droideka, Xanadu, and B1!

Updated (17.Sep) to still a bit behind expected (but that isn't really news, with a 'slow' start the correction to normal will likely take longer to appear), now running at just over 30.5% at 119/390

Latest update (23.Sep) still 2 days behind expected but slowly creeping closer, now at 150/480 or 31.25%.

How do you have 56 of 330 shards but you’ve only had 23 drops. Is the difference from store purchases?

Yes, got 3* from the Marquee, then collected a few shards from the node before deciding to keep track of the numbers. Have not purchased any shards from shipments. Promoted to 4* today.

@DarjeloSalas I am slow farming this (no refreshes) so updates won't happen very often. Just surpassed 100 attempts though so not a bad place to update. 34 shards / 105 attempts = 32.4% drop rate.

You better hurry. There seems to be a void here upcoming. A good time to launch an event. An event that requires a marquee. I bet it drops this weekend or next. Take Shaak Ti and 4 501st to get General Anakin.

I agree, it will be soon and I will miss it. That's okay I will get it next time around.
