[Data] Divination Card results from low-tier map farming

I feel that a few words of introduction are needed.
First and foremost – keep in mind that these results might be quite far from the truth. I’m no scholar when it comes to statistical analysis, in fact, I know next to nothing about this or any closely related subjects. Therefore, I have no clue how big of a sample size I would need for the results to be even close to reliable, but I’m assuming that number is NOT 42, which is the average number of runs I did for of those maps.
Please do not consider the data below accurate or precise – I never intended it to be. Instead, I want these results to serve as an indication of how much grind (and/or suffering) you, as a player, will have to put yourself through to acquire a given Divination Card (or the whole set, depending on your goal).

Notable information:
- The average IIQ from maps was ~65%. My character had 80% IIQ from gear. It’s worth noting that the number of drops from chests/breakable objects is not increased by player’s IIQ. Also, some diminishing returns might apply (correct me if I’m wrong);
- The sample size is larger for some maps than others. I was somewhat biased as to which maps I’d be running most, e.g. I knew I’d be needing lots and lots of regret orbs for Ascendancy, so I focused on Temple map;
- Maps were cleared so that <20 monsters were remaining in that area – that is, unless there were hidden monsters in the map. Any lootable containers encountered were opened/destroyed;
- No paid Zana map mods were crafted onto any of the maps;
- I’m using ZiggyD’s loot filter which has an item filter sound for Divination Cards.




Now that all this is out of the way, I can finally proceed to showing you the

Thanks for compiling this; I'm no statistician either, but it gives me a general sense of the drop rates.
Thanks for the statistics.

Now please run 100 Springs maps and 100 Shrine maps to see The Doctor/The Fiend drop rates :)
Damn you Europeans and your weird ass commas in place of decimals... <_<

That's how we write numbers. It's a habit, can't help it.

I know this is incorrect in English, but meh, it's a forum thread, not a balance sheet.

It's incredibly annoying when you're an Accountant who has to deal with overseas balance sheets and such sometimes... :P

The number is always 42.
no The Pack Leader in 40 Tropical Island runs - thats disheartening :(
The Lord in black seems like it should be really high, hell should be guaranteed. It drops off a boss that shows up based on RNG and the reward is a blue mod ring. Why is a card like this so hard to get?
