Hand Sample Study

[Trixie9819]

I've gotten 3 rounds done, I don't know if I will be able to do one today. I need to finish compiling the data from the logs and don't want to get too far behind on that. Here is the information from the first round, the 'baseline' with no stat modifiers, no buffs, no expertise, no pets, no food, no nothing at all. I'll post the rest of the data as I get it tallied.

First, my math. To make a clear comparison, I"m using a formula to show what would have been gathered if the spawn was 100% (Amount Gathered/% of spawn)*100. If anyone has any suggestions for a better way to compare, please don't hesitate to speak up

There's a lot of data, and I haven't hit on the best way to present it, so right now I'm just giving it to you in the order I have it listed on my spreadsheet.

Round 1, 77% spawn

Code: Select all

 Lvl  Amt  # try Yes  Fail  Rich  %Fail  Ave Success
10  3166  344  203  141  17    41%    12.00
20  4434  349  248  101  13    29%    12.70
30  4175  347  236  102  21    30%    13.60

50  4123  343  235  107  23    32%    13.50
60  3762  343  228  115  13    33%    12.70
70  4252  348  246  102  22    30%    13.30
80  3938  340  226  114  19    33%    13.40
90  3808  343  231  112  14    33%    12.70
90* 1540 343  148  195  17    56%     8.00

Wow, those first round results are interesting. I'm especially intrigued by the lvl 50 and 60 comparison.

Can't wait to see how this progresses, Trixie... awesome work.

I haven't abandoned this, I've gotten the 'baseline' and the first 4 expertise points tests done. It's just taking longer than I expected to go through the data. Mostly because it is mind numbingly boring and I don't have THAT much time to spend on it. It takes about as long to sort through the data as it does to set up and run the tests themselves (ie 4-5 hours)

The problem is I can't sort through the data while running the tests, lol 10 accounts on one PC means I go off and run errands and leave the game running while I"m away, lol.

So I'm hoping to get the last sections done soon and I'll have them posted. So far the numbers are interesting and random factors blind luck seems to have a pretty big impact on the final outcomes.
