Treasure Hunter Testing

[Babekeke]

I thought TH could only increase item drops to 50% drop rate?

It probably is only 50%. A larger sample size would likely show the average dropping slightly.

Despite it only being 100 sample, it's quite clear that TH 3-8 isn't making anything like a substantial difference.

If anything it makes me think back to the old 'moon phase' urban legend. Or perhaps just what the mob had for breakfast that morning?

Going to post my Carabosse data. So far all but 1 have been done with no yellow, and that single one yellow was spammed (it was dispel -.-) so effectively none had yellow:

11 Carabosse
1st Gem (100%): 19/19
2nd Gem: 16/19
Card of Voyage: 16/19
Coin of Voyage: 0/19
All had TH between 7 and 9 inclusive.
No data for Afflictors/Hachimaki as I couln't be bothered having them fill up the treasure pool and having to toss them each time so have one of each on both characters (r/e).
I'm upset that TH seems to be having no affect at all on the coin of voyage drops. Are they only able to drop with a yellow proc?

I've only ever seen them drop with yellow so I believe that is the case.

[Byrth]

Yeah, they're grellow only. All the drops they added in that patch to Scars and Visions are like that, with one grellow and one base drop.

Nah the feather data we have shows that TH2/3 bumps them up to about 60%. Their base being about 25%. This lines up with the 2 reroll theory for TH1/2 and shows that TH3 either does almost nothing or does something we don't understand yet.

[Insaniac]

Added Volds numbers to the running totals. Left out the seals and geodes due to the drop rates being skewed by 5minute timers and weather/day. Still looking pretty grim for TH3+.

[Byrth]

171 kills with TH0 net me:

2 Diorites
1 Raxa
17 Mythril Ore
10 Golem shards
47 Light Crystals

[Vold]

About to start round 3. Additional goal today and from here on out: make note of TH level per diorite and raxa drop when on THF main. Expectations: 15 diorite, at least some raxa when TH8 or higher is in effect. Let's see how it pans out... edit with results coming in a couple hours.

[Byrth]

Just broad observations so far, pooling between TH2 and TH6 and comparing to TH0:
* Raxa Drop rate is approximately the same in all cases
* Golem Shard drop rate is approximately the same in all cases
* Diorite Drop rate is dramatically higher for TH2/6
* Mythril Ore drop rate is dramatically higher for TH2/6 (~10% -> ~50%)

It makes me wonder if only specific slots (for instance, the first two) are enhanced by Treasure Hunter. Once again, we fall into the Treasure Hunter testing trap of not knowing the item groupings for this monster. Vold, if possible could you check what the item groupings are? Like, "Can I get a Mythril Ore, Golem Shard, and Diorite off the same kill?"

[Laphine]

I have a 249 kills here. It's an oldie, so probably not that useful considering the possible drop rate changes.
