It's time to check on our loot drop rates for fighting. The last run I posted was performed on November 16th (1). I had a 94% win rate and used 12,990 stamina to win 12221 fights.
November 16th
12221 Fights Won
I performed the same run last night (same account and the same city) and used 12,731 stamina to win 12,222 fights. My win ratio improved to 96% because I've been adding skill points to attack acquired enough loot to raise my over all attack score. Since I'm comparing the number of fights won, the drop rate should be the same regardless of my win ratio.
December 5th
12222 Fights Won
Top 8 Loot (actually it's 9 since the Woodsman and the Range Finder Rifle have the same attack score).
November 16th
0.556%
December 5th
0.605%
0.605%
Top 8 Giftable loot items.
November 16th
0.614%
0.507%
The drop rate for the Top 8 loot items actually increased by 0.049% and that of the giftable loot decreased by 0.107%. Comparing 2 larger runs would be more ideal but there does seem to be a shift somewhere. For the statisticians out there, you could calculate the rates for each item and see if one or two of them are explain the differences. I noticed that on the November run, I only got 2 Phantasms and 16 on the December run. Also note that Ballista Missile Launcher still do not drop when fighting.

I really love how often those micro-fission cells drop and how unusable they are...and to think they are considered an uncommon drop in some missions :)
ReplyDeleteOk, so here is my problem ... i _never_ get fight loot. I have tried reinstalling MW, changing browser, clearing cookies and of course emailing support ... i got coins and xp but never got fight loot _except_ during Halloween Event. I propably have used hundreds of thousands of stamina (level 600). Sigh :( ... anyone has a clue?
ReplyDeleteYou have to attack live targets only, loot is not dropping from iced targets.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reply. I forget to specify i use brawler to fight and i check the 'Attack live target only' option.
ReplyDeleteCheck to see if it is actually only attacking live targets. I've gone through strings where i single attack iced targets even while using brawler. I think for that exact reason you may find that rates are changing on a day to day basis, but I spend roughly 20k stam per day attacking and I would say that it probably is not.
ReplyDeletealso try checking or unchecking the "Use Fightlist Ice Check" option. if i have it unchecked, it'll attack iced targets even though i have "Only Attack live targets" selected, but i've heard it's the other way around for some people, so just toggle it and see if that helps.
ReplyDeleteGood results here, Patterson. I find I get a lot more FHEL3 of late...best result sI have found come from #1 attacking only LIVE targets...#2 attacking only mafia of 501 (sometimes only have choice of lower mafia - in that case either wait or just attack and refresh)...#3 Hitlist attacks drop good loots (try attacking off hitlist)...Attack levels that are way higher than your own ( like double or so)...add more stamina :))...Thanks, Patterson.
ReplyDeleteohyea... #4 I do not use brawler...:0)) click, click, click....at least 4k stamina a day now :-))
ReplyDelete12k runs are not really statistically relevant. You can have up- and downturns of 0.049% every day. :)
ReplyDeletemine has ballista dropping.
