What's the droprate on reinforcement mats?

"abysmal" isn't actually a number, so....

Honestly, after reading how bad the drop rate is (here and in various other places), I'm not even going to bother. I went 0/3 and am done.

Lamesauce.

I'm certainly not gonna blow my saved cantina energy on them. double of FA is still FA.

was i imaging CG denying that different nodes have different drop rates? genuine question. either way even though we don't have a huge sample size i think we can pretty much debunk that denial, if it was one. Seems clear to me that the drop rate on this node is way lower than anything else I've seen previously from friends' experience and feedback on this thread.

I am a bit confused by your post, there is only one node with ship mats. Of course, the drop rater differ for different types of rewards, but should be same for each reward between nodes.

I meant in general. I guess I'm assuming that 1 reinforcement mat = 1 shard. but let's say for example the average node has a 25-30% drop rate on shards (which probably isn't far off) it seems clear that this node is significantly less for reinforcement mats.

It's probably a fair argument to say they're reinforcement mats and shards are not considered equal value but I feel the playing community (or me in this case) could be forgiven for assuming so. it's generally always been a case of the headline reward of a node being considered the drop rate.

0 for 3 sims here...

It's been fairly well "proven" that drop rates are independent for individual item types. Shards are about 35%, purple gear is about 20%, etc.

So it is extremely likely that the drop rates for reinforcement mats is very low (and independent of any other drop rate for that node )

Fair point. I assumed they would be considered = to a shard but obviously not.a new super low drop rate item.

begs the question whether it's worth it or not. considering 16 energy gets you a guaranteed mod drop, despite it seeming increasingly difficult to get good ones i wonder how many that are invested in both squad arena and ships will decide to carry on with mod/toon farming over these.

Updating first post with data up to here.

I had a fantastic 0 out of 30ish attempts. That was with double drops active, and made me come to check if it was a bug, which it definitely looks a lot like...

This... I'll farm mods. There will always be new character that need more mods, but because there does not seem to be a big influx of ships, it may be easier to catch up with ships.

0 in 12 :(

Anyone done the sampling to see what the drop rate is for reinforcement material for Cantina 6-A?

Um... why are you guys using Cantina energy and not hoarding it for double drops starting on the 25th?

I'm 0 - 0 if you are counting... ask me tomorrow after I spend about 1000 Cantina energy when there are DOUBLE DROPS.

I have double drops active, and got 0/30. Do I feel better because it was double zero?

Your double drops are active already? I forgot about the people who are already in the wee hours of May 25th, as it is morning of the 24th here.

So you got 0/30? That is horrible. Maybe I do need to reconsider how I spend my Cantina Energy.
