Some random stranger saying he pulled this much on this day, and that much on that day isn’t real data. I can say that my drops were 4/5 for a certain character for 3 months straight, it don’t make it data. A lot of players said that the drop rates are about 33%, and a lot of players said it isn’t.

What does make data, then?

I’d take anyone who had tracked a node for 3 months seriously, and their data would be significant.

The thing that the “lot of players” who say it isn’t 33% all have in common is that none of them have more than 3 days worth of data, let alone 3 weeks or 3 months.

To be fair, if 100 players reported their rates on a single day, it would also count as fairly significant data.

Now to all the bickering posts here, you are all going off topic. Nowhere did I say that rates are below 33%. Even from my 1 day of data you can see that i have significantly varying results between just 2 accounts.

Shaak Ti went into her fleet node on 24 August. I’ve done exactly 10 sims per day from that day forward.

380 sims, 140 shards. 36.8% drop rate.

Nerf drop rates!

Actually thanks for reminding me that there’s that shortcut method to approximate the rates. If I were to use that method I would be slightly below 30%. At least 15 attempts a day, currently at 54/100. Bought 25 shards from weekly, another 8 from shipments, and at initial release i used 2 of the crystal packs to get her to 4*. So at around 38 days since she went on her node, that’s 171 shards out of 570 attempts (at least), so slightly below 30%.

Can’t approximate as well on my alt since I sometimes forget to do things there, but in general all the better 4/5 3/5 drops i’ve seen happen on that account. It even gets better mods than my main =_=“
