Las Vegas Loot Drop Statistics

Share:

I was able to master all levels in all 5 Districts with my energy account today.  I couldn't wait to do so because I have been very eager to get a feel for the loot drop statistics.  I love to analyze statistics and this is the main reason I like to use scripts.  Scripts log all relevant data for you which would be nearly impossible to do manually.  It would require too much time as you would need to stop after every job, write everything down and then calculate the statistical elements you are seeking.  The charts below represent the numbers I got for loot drop rates and percentages using small runs of 1,000 jobs on Spockholm Mafia Tools RepeatJob Vegas Beta.  I chose the first job of District 5 and did runs before and after defeating the Boss (there will be more on this topic in a future article).  After mastery was completed, I did the same job on each of the different pathways to see if one was better than the other as far a loot drop rates were concerned.  I found them all the be pretty much the same.  I circled one of the loot items, The Bark Scorpion (50/32) to make it easier to track.  This item was randomly selected.  It doesn't seem to make a difference if you have completely mastered the District or not.  I actually got a higher percentage before but the better loot items appear to slightly increase once mastery is achieved. Since my data pool is relatively small it's hard to say one way or the other.
 District 5 Before Complete Mastery
Loot Drop Rate = 23.0%
# of Bark Scorpions = 4
District 5 After Complete Mastery 
Fight Path
Loot Drop Rate = 21.9%
# of Bark Scorpions = 6
Social Path
Loot Drop Rate = 20.9%
# of Bark Scorpions = 8
Energy Path
Loot Drop Rate = 20.9%
5 Bark Scorpions = 5
Every time a new city opens, I always feel confused about the loot.  I worry I'm missing something and don't know what the best items are.  I see the numbers when I first look at the lists but it takes a while to get comfortable with them and know which ones are better then the loot I already have.  Here are all the loot items discovered by players who edit the Mafia Wars Wiki Las Vegas Page.  Click on any item name and you will be directed to the Mafia Wars Wiki Page for that item.  If you found something that isn't listed here, click on edit to add it to the Wiki.

Here are the loot items I received from doing the jobs in Districts 1-5.  I didn't get all of the items listed on the Wiki Page so either they are dropping from fighting and/or robbing or the drop rates are just really bad.

  1. the question is, is there a loot-drop-rate increase by levelling up the episodes. i have no stats, but think it make no difference if you are bronze-level or platin.... so I´m kind of angry now, that I leveled all the way up and got the same loot-drop-rate, when I have to do jobs with 100 energy instead of 10 ;((((
