Got my first ever matching dual mod purple
What are the odds?
Matching = 25%
Purple dual mod = 10%
HCT+HSR combo = 4.2% (both orders)
15% = 15%
17% = 30%
Total = chance of 1 in 85347Fun fact: getting 15% value on a purple mod is rarer than 18%
Out of curiosity: Where did you get this numbers from? did you collect them yourself?

It's like playing the lottery, it's usually a waste of money and time, and even if you see some people win the jackpot, they haven't had a miracle formula to make it 100%.
On the other hand, psycologically, waiting to drop a q8 with a good base (or any other very rare drop) is tiring if you expect it to happen. It's better not to think about it, and in the best-case scenario to be surprised in a good way (and given the number of items to drop in the game, this can happen for an item you didn't even think could fall).
All these pseudo-calculations out of the ass are useless in practice.
Useless is a strong word. I can tell you that numbers are what motivated me to play gw1 throughout 2 decades.

Do you believe these datas are fixed? What about rng factor? For instance I got 2 q8 shields from a mob in 15 minute time gap. Could not be fixed. If that's the case, then farming q8 is just time waste.
Farming q8s is always a time waste. We just do it for the thrill of it

That was exactly what i asked, but not what i wanted to hear haha
Tyvm!

just for comparison: every 25th foc from lvl 20 source is max q8 and every 75th shield. That means again for 99% certainty you have a q8 max one you'd have to farm 112 foci or 350 shields respectively. The times depend on the spot you are farming by their drop rates. Assuming similar drop rates and times at a virtual location as for swords at moddock that'd be 5 days for foc and 16 days for shield (roughly). But usually foci drop more often than swords...
The chestrunning alternative would give better chance for max q8s as per time, but also terribly higher chance of purples - for one of any rarity you'd have to run somewhere around 80.000 chests for statistically having one max sword, 370.000 for a 99% certainty, and for getting a gold one those numbers are roughly 5times higher - 430.000 and 2.000.000 to be precise. A good chestrun yields 1chest/min meaning for the 99% at a gold max sword you'd be running 4 years constantly - compared to that the hm farming seems a little better even
Okay HM drops aren't all gold either, but there's maybe 20-30% purples, extending the calculated 3years to maybe 4years. But still equal to chestrunning nm. If the rates actually are lower though - times and sword drop rates (which I fear - the above estimation was rather optimistic) it could well be that HM farming is less effective.
Just wanted to put those numbers for anyone who'd attempt getting one
Do you meanwhile habe statistics on drop rates for q8 swords like you do have on foci and shields?
