Experiment: Estimation of the real droprates for 3* Runes and dungeon loot

[slauki]

you are totally right with your considerations. i'm working on matter of life and dear right now, it seems to be better in terms of sands of time and ironite drops, but that's only a feeling.
only your gold argument is in my opinion neglectable at the moment, because the most endgame players sit on millions and millions of gold and have no idea how to spend it. that's a common endgame problem, that's
why i think we can neglect the gold factor.

so far it seems, that the droprate of 3* runes is a little lower than on underworld madness. but that's also still a guess, because the numbers are very small.

i will also try kingdoms of sands, but unless someone wants to buy me ironite it will take some time :-D i belive the 3* droprates are much lower, but this is only gut feeling. will try to verificate/falsificate that any time soon...

First observations matter of life and dead madness:

Wow, that was quick Thanks for the preliminary figures. Knowing that we are dealing with small sample sizes, I'm happy to continue auto farming Matter of Life and Death knowing that I'm not giving up much statistically for the convenience of autofarming. Be interesting to see if the Powerslave drop rate is 20% lower (which is what you would expect since its 4 vs. 5 sands of time to battle).

tell me please with which team do you use to autofarm matter of life and dead? the damned axis soldiers and the bomber boys with their extraturns smash me on auto sometimes, that sucks really hard. they got 5 extra turns and the AI cannot do anything to avoid it.

btw: can you please push your burning mummy dog to level 100 so that i can put him in my maximized characters thread? :-)

Solider Eddie (4 yellow, 2 fierce strength build)
Pharaoh Sun Spirit (nearly maxxed with 6 fierce strength talisman)
Wicker Man (4 fierce iron talisman, 2 overwhelming stone talisman- all 4* or higher)

I am able to kill all or all but a single villain after round 1 of each level. PSS usually does a heal during the boss battle. I suspect any 5* warrior class with 4* or higher talisman would have a good shot at doing it. I don't have Corrupt General, but I think he would probably work as well. Any toon that packs an AOE wallop along with PSS should do it. Hope that helps!

Wow!! Amazing share Mr. Slauki, nice contribution as always!!

That seems like ALLOT spent from valuable time u couldve used to eat pizza or eat a burger or watch anime, considering what you couldve done and what u decided to do was to help the community, thanks.

Btw how could rare soul drop rates be that low? I understand its not accurate but i got like 3 in a row... On lord of light X

I thought Battlefield Madness was better than Underworld Madness in terms of 3* rainbow rune drops, but I guess that was RNG.

I don't think I ever encountered 3* evo runes of any color on KotS Madness though, but it's been a while since I went there

Excellent work though, very interesting read.

With you model Slauki, I will made for Shadows in the Valley (Underworld Madness).
I will include Sands of time, gold (not very important but it's for me) and Ironite.
So see you in 150 rounds later...

thanks vgta, your help is very appreciated...

@ nekroliun: when you play a lot (and i mean 1500 rounds +) you will face streaks of 20-30 rounds withouth getting anything usefull. sometimes you get 3 in a row, but in the long run you will always get, what the dropchances allow you to get :-)

Sorry, was busy and didn't have time for maths I guess lol.
I've probably done 15 sands of time on the red rift today, auto, level 10, and only received 6 rainbow shards. It's atrocious. I'm quite salty towards the team for this. Does the drop rate have a variable attached for players with many 5 star characters? Am I getting a nerfed drop rate?not happy about it, what an incredible waste of time.
