Summoning Stone Drop Rate Nerf

[Guest]

I have gone through the same situation or even worse than yours, because in 2 days I called 280 and got stones 15-5 * and other 265-3 * or 4 * Yes ... this is very frustrating!

I needed 5 letters * and more incredible as it may seem just came letters that had already full ... while I see players with 5 stones taking 2 legendary

I do not know what to think about the game, it is manipulation kabam these things, I was very frustrated with this situation!

Well nobody knows what the true % of 6 and 5-star is because nobody has scientifically examined it to the point of standard variation no longer applying.

For example: Say the rate for 6star is 1/1000

So some will get a 6-star in 500 and equally many would get their first at 1500 for that to average to 1 in 1000. Right?

Some are also going to get a 6-star in their first 100 but for that to happen, and average to be maintained, some are going to have to wait until 1900 SS´s have been spent.

It could also be LOWER than 0.1% droprate. We do not know this. As far as I know Kabam has not made it official.

As an example, I carried out statistics for the Calamity event. My sample size was 100 steps at each tier (5, 10, 15, 20)

I had previously walked casually on 5-stamina area and discovered the occassional stamina pot and mana pot - as I am sure many have. But for my particular scientific sample of taking 100 steps in a row, and keeping statistics of what I received after 100 steps I had 0 stam and 0 mana.

Now that could lead someone to conclude "oh 5-stam doesnt have a chance to drop stamina/mana" but that would be incorrect because I knew it could be done - and when I farming before and after my sample size I did in fact get pots in that area. However, I did never see an SS that I noticed in that area which is consistent with what other players report (that they were exclusive to 15 and 20)

So to establish whether there´s something "wrong" one has to:

- Take a scientific approach
- Figure out an appropriate sample size (or else it will be misleading)
- Carry out the test with that in mind

Now if someone started the game today, and say during his career would gather 10,000 SS´s and scientifically note down every single result (now mind you, he would have to only take note of results achieved when there was no SS promo) then he could probably arrive at something that reasonably resembled the truth.

However, it would likely still be too small a sample size if you wanted to know "odds of getting a white knight 6-star specifically" because:

Say its 1 in 1000

That means 10 in 10,000

But there are more legendaries than that which can drop (I believe, without double checking wikia) so


If there´s 30 legendaries, but you´re only scoring a random 10, you´re not even in the sample size of my example going to get one of each, let alone say 10 or 100 of each where you could begin to tell "what´s the likelihood of landing a sir galahad 6-star vs Vambrael or Rhiannon"?

after hundreds and hundreds of stone summons, I have found that on average, I need to summon about 15~ cards to get a 5 Star, and usually summon 40-50 cards to get a legendary.

I dont think the drops have lessened, we just think it has since the event was dropping so many (I found over 275 from event) and now that we are back to farming the cities, it seems less.

Some days I can find 5-10 from exploring, sometimes 1. It is truly random I think in this case.

Also I found that it helps if you dont summon every day, if you have stones, summon 10-15 a day, wait a day or two and repeat, I tend to find better results then if Im summoning every stones I get every time. Though its usually far toooo tempting not to summon them when you have it...

I was at 260 stones after the recent event and told myself, no! no summoning, you wait for the next summon chance promo.... well that was then, and now im on 200 stones... just too tempting to hold it back hahaha.

Good luck with your summoning mates!
