Hi guys, So as you probably may know recently we have been running FOD exclusively for non sword holders over at Switchblade. I'm pleased to say it has so far been a success and I would like to thank all those who have taken part and those who have supported my experiments. I'm very pleased to report that our initial findings based on our last 10 ebs is we currently hold a 100% drop rate on treasures and a massive 80% droprate with swords. If you compare that to some other clans they are getting a sword drop 1 in every 5 EB's. Sometimes even longer. This experiment has so far proved that devs have decreased the drop rate on swords. Our average number of swords to drop each time is currently 1.4. Nothing close to the 6 sword drops we saw at the start of this new epic drops era. Whilst running FOD I have also conducted a number of experiments to squash rumors and hearsay: Not True, I have taken items solo plenty of times. Also completed the final 3% solo. I didn't win the drop. Again not true. You can manage the bars much easier by doing 5x Wrath, Angels, Locust (together). Test then repeat. I hope you find this information useful. If you wish to partake in these experiments join switchblade today!* *4m stats required. No responsibility will be held for any injuries sustained during experiments.
Nice info I got my sword whilst doing the 3% item stage, but that was pure luck. Good job though, keep up with the experiments.
Test is 8/5 for first test point 12/8 the rest the way down just saying fastest way to find sweet spot
I only ever even heard of 3 swords in one fod. There's no way it was ever dropping an average of 6. Chances have been low from the start. Just keep hitting.
I still think this experiment is a lie to urself. No offence. I support MissBehave's view on chances of dropping a sword is equal regardless the no of sword holder in the clan. However, if the lucky winner is already a sword holder, no sword drop will be shown. That's why when the more the sword holders are in the clan, the less the sword appears to drop. Hence joining a clan with fast FoD is the way.
Doing last 3% gives treasure drop not items drop. Try logging off at 3% give better chance with items.. But remember eb may fail with no hitters lol
We are completing FOD's on average 5 hours. We have completed before 4hours without running a "blitz" By no means am I lying to myself, simply stating the findings of my experiments.
