Brute first run with Evil Ms. Liberty: guess what I got? Yeah common again.
Heather Flashback run: sigh common.

**NO DATA**
A week late but congratulations on the 1000th roll and a well earned salute to everyone that has stuck it out to see it through this far, you've got far more grit than I do.
Thanks to everyone sticking it out and still providing data, in spite of my current hiatus from running any more DA arcs.
Here's the current data...
And the totals thus far are...
1030 rolls total:
787 Commons (76.4%)
185 Uncommons (18.0%)
45 Rares (4.4%)
13 Very Rare (1.3%)
So far, each roll on the component table gives "incarnate progress" of:
Average Thread Value (Standard): 58.08
Average Thread Value (Tier 3): 50.75
Average Thread Value (Tier 4): 49.08
Merit rolls:
71 Astral (83.5%)
14 Empyrean (16.5%)
A roll on the merit table gives "incarnate progress" of: 13.68
M.A. Arcs
Intended for high level play: The Primus Trilogy (Arc #s 10931, 283821, 283825), "Freakshow U" (Arc #189073), Purification (Arc #352381, Dev's Choice!
)Intended for low level play: "Learning the Ropes" (Arc #100304), "Cracking Skulls" (Arc #115935), "The Lazarus Project" (Arc #124906)
Got six commons and one rare for seven component rolls in DA arcs.
Astrals for one merit roll.
I finished off all my T3s, so I thought I would just hold onto my count as I worked on a T4 (Alpha).
For what it's worth, to get my T3s my daily routine was Heather flashback (for component), Heather flashback (for threads), repeatable (for threads), and if I had time Heather flashback (for incarnate merits). My flashbacks were taking about 20 mins each, but decreased in time as I got stronger until I was consistently doing them in under 15 mins.
For my T4, my daily routine was Heather flashback (for component), Heather flashback (incarnate merits), repeatable (for threads), and if I had time Heather flashback (for threads). My best time was 12:37.
I also had a weekly routine of doing all the DA arcs for the emps. Good thing, too. I initially looked at the wrong T4 and was building for it, so I had to sidegrade some items at the last second using threads from the emps.
My final tally was:
- Common: 21
- Uncommon: 6
- Rare: 1
- Very Rare: 0 (had to build the one needed for T4)
Interesting ... when I'm up to a return to Dark Astoria, I've been toying with the idea of seeing "how bad" trying to get to a Tier 4 would be. Like InOnePiece, I was considering Alpha for that. So it's really neat to see that someone has done it. Hopefully with just a bit more of a break from DA I'll be ready to give it a try.
By the way, InOnePiece, would you happen to have the individual results for the merit rolls? If not, that's fine, but I figured I'd ask.
Aaaand ... with the big influx of data (courtesy of Rodion and InOnePiece), here's where we are now:
1065 rolls total:
814 Commons (76.4%)
191 Uncommons (17.9%)
47 Rares (4.4%)
13 Very Rare (1.2%)
So far, each roll on the component table gives "incarnate progress" of:
Average Thread Value (Standard): 57.65
Average Thread Value (Tier 3): 50.67
Average Thread Value (Tier 4): 48.55
Merit rolls:
72 Astral (83.7%)
14 Empyrean (16.3%)
A roll on the merit table gives "incarnate progress" of: 13.62

Sister run first with Brute: common.
Did this while testing out various options for my newly unlocked Hybrid slot -- Uncommon and Empyrean.
Still, based on the activity here recently, I'm guessing it's getting close to time for a "final results post."

Common drop and Astral Merits.
I intend to continue to gather data and (every few days when warrented) post updates, but I need to take a break from Dark Astoria. Today I just finished this week's run for Gabriel's two empyrean merits and, to be honest, at the moment I've run these missions so much here and in beta that I'm just plain sick of them.
I'm sure I'll be back to DA, but for now, it's break time!
Like I said though, I'm still tracking whatever information gets posted here, and will continue to update every time we've got enough added information to make it worthwhile.
