Tracking of drop rates

A dude in my guild's alliance went 5/5 2 days in a row with Fallen Bastilla. I've never been that lucky.

I've been that lucky with Brood Alpha's node, with purple mats and one omega on top. But a few days ago I got zero shards for two Cantina energy refreshes. It evens out eventually.

I only have 4 days of data so far but here's my on topic contribution to the thread:

@Ultra Please tell me you got that 4.8 mill all ftp, I wanna good laugh today

It's not hard at all to be at 4.8mil gp ftp.
I dont know why you would have an issue with this.

@JDIII

Don't waste your time arguing with people who just want to argue about anything. This forum is nothing but an ego boost to them. That’s why they are always so quick to point out how they, “ never spend any money” or “ not a whale”. If you point out a feeling you have, or an experience you e come across that doesn’t fit into something that makes them feel better about themselves them , “ you need to get better. “

All they want is something they can brag about and make themselves feel good. Most people know that dropping a couple hundred bucks here and there doesn’t make you better at this game. It does , maybe, make you have extra money to blow. Personally, I’d rather just say, “ yeah, I’ve got tons of extra cash and I blow it on this game. What’s the problem?”

But very rarely do you come across many who will come rightist and say that they’re a whale, or spend tons. But those aren’t the ones looking for an argument, because they don’t need the ego boost. Don’t waste your time with the

If you do want to, though, just go to your nearest wall and argue with it. It’s a very similar experience

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 =_=“

Players have tracked tens of thousands of attempts.

It works out to around 33%. Your individual results may vary due to small sample sizes.

Is there a database on discord or somewhere that you know of that has the results from these attempts?

I ask because I’m wondering if 20 energy hard nodes characters have a lower drop rate than lesser energy ones. I’ve questioned it before, but recently (in the summer) I started farming Rose and droideka on the same day doing 5 attempts per day. About a month in, I decide to increase droideka to 10 per day. A week after that, I increased Rose as well. Yesterday, Rose finished, but I still needed 12 more on Droideka.

afaik the rate is the same whatever the node being farmed. be it cantina or hard or fleet hard

That's a noise level difference. Inconsequential.

That might be true, but it would be nice to see data to back that up as being noise.

Ugg. Another poster who does not understand math, statistics, or RNG. Keep track all you want. It does not change the number for drop rates.

There's a group in the Planet Coruscant discord server that collects drop rates.
