Drop listing & analysis

You do realize that your numbers, despite being fairly small, add up to:
78.5% common
16.05% uncommon
3.3% rare
2.1% purple

I don't remember enough statistics offhand to calculate the exact odds, but 1/50 recipe drops being purple and 1/33'ish being rare sounds about right. I'm surprised at the other numbers, I'd expect them to be either 80 and 15'ish or 75 and 20'ish, but more data will fix that.

the one people usually use to farm BP masks, something about closing a bunch of ruptures.

Wonder if the breakdown on boss/lt/minion had an effect.

In a team of 6, double the Inf due to the team XP multiplier. That brings the total Inf up to 35,118. Divide by 6. A level 50 char would earn 5,853 Inf per run on average. It seems appropriate to charge 6M per person if there are 6. At the other extreme, if it's just the Dom and a single SK, the total rewards is a bit over 32M. That means it would be appropriate to charge 16M per run. Yes that's a silly high price, but it's based on the chance the the SK gets a nice purple drop once in a while. STATISTICS DON'T LIE!

Statistics do lie when they are based on a silly small sample size...

No, they don't lie. You can perform further analysis to see if you have a statistically significant sample space, but that doesn't make the existing data and resulting analysis a lie.

I'd run a t-test on it but... I've forgotten how.

I got all my original numbers farming a regular mission. Does anyone know if Dev Choice or Hall of Fame missions give out the same rewards?

Yes they do. If you want a nice farmable devs choice. The first mission of Johnny Sonatta on invincible is very good. Lots of well grouped bosses.

I had gotten a purple drop on a dev choice arc in test, back in open beta. So, they do drop purples.

This thread may come in handy when I16 goes live, if people want to compare drop rates.
