Strange IDE Crystal Drop Rate

[Poela 4]

Hey all, 

Just for fun, I estimated the drop rate for the Strange Ide Crystal, dropped from Idian Depths, Elyos ghosts and Ksilids mobs. The results is shown in the video below.

Happy farming!

Ok but i have question, did you make it on weekend with 2x rates on?, have you on one of those energy from afking (same as from tea)

Hey Kamai, 

Indeed, you're correct. Those factor would influence the final results. To get a "clean" data as much as possible, I also used an alt which was positioned at the spots mentioned and I would only collect data (on both chars) whenever the energy of repose is on. Further, I did the data collection during the week days.

With that said, then there's still the 5% extra drop rate due to the Energy of Repose. However, it seems to me that the 5%ER acts on top of the actual drop rate of the item. For example, is an item has 10% of drop chance, with ER it won't become 15%, but rather 5% on top of the 10% (less than 11% in total). That would be negligible at the end. But on any event, I added that uncertainty buffer to the results:

So, in summary:

Kselids -- 2.5% to 5%

Ghosts -- 5% to 8%

Idian Depths -- 10% to 15%

A new edition: Worn Skeletons in Katalam - Could be anywhere between 8% to 12%! (not included in the video)

Well, it's hard to give a precise number, but this might be in the right direction .

Cheers,
