increase ticket awards

I just did the first of two mission on my arc after it was published. The map was large, I was set to +1/1, fighting bosses when solo. I've done other arcs and notice that sometimes I get a ton more tickets.

How do they select the number of tickets to award for mission completion? Seems to me that when a player is done with a mission, he should get 540 tickets, assuming he defeated the whole map. I got 55.

Anyone know how this award system works?

If I remember things right, you get a chance at getting a ticket drop off of every critter of at least minion level and above. LT's give more than minions and bosses give more than LT's. That doesn't mean you get tickets off of them all, just a chance. Like recipes, salvage or any other type of drop, it's completely random.

Okay, that said, the amount of tickets you receive at the end of a mission depends on how many tickets you got from drops during that mission.

For the first mission in an AE arc, you get the same number of tickets as a mission end bonus as you collected. If you got say, 123 tickets to drop during the mission, you'll get an additional 123 for completing the mission, giving you 246 total. Completing the second mission is similar, but there is a bonus amount added to the end of mish ticket reward, I think it's an extra 5%.

I believe that bonus percentage increases with the 3rd mission and again with the 4th and 5th, but don't quote me on that.

So, if you got 55 tickets at the end of your mission, that means one of two things, you only got 55 tickets to drop during the mish, OR you had 1445 drop during the mish and got a bonus 55 to take you to the ticket cap of 1500 per AE mission. You can't earn more than 1500 tickets in AE missions, including the end of mish ticket bonus. I forget when they added the ticket cap, but it's been there for quite a while.

The end of mission ticket bonus does have a modifier that increases for each mission of the arc.

And as for the 1500 ticket cap, that is for the largest maps. Smaller maps have lower ticket caps. I don't have numbers on that though.
