Well the vendor recipe plays a big part in the high chaos number, i'm mad of myself for not tracking jeweler's and chaos orb drops separately from the orbs that i've got via the recipes ... the number of chaos orb drops is around 20 judging by the numbers from the spreadsheet ( i.e. it's most likely that 3 chaos orbs acquired from 1 run is actually 2 from the recipe and 1 actual drop ).

Guess you gotta start over. :p

Don't do this to me man ... i'm already tempted :P

Btw great job putting this together! It's very insightful.

I was telling my friend blessed are as rare or more so than gcps.

<snip useful info>

I might update the thread every say ... 50 maps ( if there is an interest ) though i will update the spreadsheet whenever i farm because as i said ... it actually helps me.

So yeah ... pretty much that's it ... have a nice day, good luck and happy grinding!

Thanks! This was helpful, it gives me a better idea of how long it will take to accumulate fusings. chaos orbs etc.

I've found ZERO Exalted Orbs


The total value of the acquired currency equals around 7.5 exalts ( based on the ratios from 01.02.2016 though the average is closer to 7 ex per 100 runs while

The value may be nice and all, but in the end where/who's getting the raw exalted orbs to exchange for that value? It's pretty ridiculous to run 100 map and a single exalted drops...

I get them. I think on average I have dropped an exalt per 100-200 maps or so. I am lucky with those. I am unlucky with map drops, though. Personally, I would like it better if it was the other way round.

This is interesting and pretty cool to think about. A real understanding of stuff would require a lot of separate tracking that I don't really expect you to do but as a scientist I can't not nitpick at em.

Mostly these 2 things.
1. There should be some sort of correction to the iiq/pack size/iir of them map.
2. Stuff from recipes should be tracked separately from stuff that's dropped.

Either way good job.

Also I get a kick out of all these posts starting with, "I did X amount of the thing, I know X isn't very much but here it is." Which shows people are at least trying to appreciate sample sizes, even if the amount they did is usually fine, and the number they're worried about isn't the number that matters.

Which brings us to data analysis by J33bus.

In the end what we're talking about here is a simple rate calculation, "I found x things in y maps." The error on any yes or no process is Sqrt(n) where n is the number of yeses. So if someone were to repeat your 100 maps they could expect to find 1255 alts +- 35 alts in total, which is only a 2% error on your mean, which is pretty good. (This is where the correction for map mods would come in to make it good data.) On the other hand we can't say much about anything but alts and jeweler's with confidence.

Thanks for doing this!

BTW, just curious if you kept track of the total number of div cards that dropped also.
