It seems that as of late the rate of conversion has been increasing. I have been testing and tracking the data and will make the spreadsheet available through google docs soon.
Edited: I corrected my numbers, i was originally listing how many rares i have used / how many exotics gained. it is now corrected to show how many rares/exotics i have received.
-- Azzuth 24.236.35.165
- thats pretty compelling data for a 3:1 (2.98:1) ratio of rare:exotics from the mystic forge isn't it.
- I've just analysed the Mystic Forge/Research page for similar data, and here are my findings:
- Input: 34 sets of 4x Minor Runes.
- Output: 25 Minor Runes and 9 Major Runes. (Ratio of 2.78:1)
- Input: 12 sets of 4x Major Runes.
- Output: 9 Major Runes and 3 Superior Runes (Ratio of 3:1)
- Input: 34 sets of 4x Minor Runes.
- Input: 37 sets of 4x Minor Sigils.
- Output: 29 Minor Sigils and 8 Major Sigils. (Ratio of 3.63:1)
- Input: 28 sets of 4x Major Sigils.
- Output: 22 Major Sigils and 6 Superior Runes (Ratio of 3.67:1)
- Input: 37 sets of 4x Minor Sigils.
- Examining combined sigil and rune data on the /Research page:
- Input: 71 sets of 4x Minor items.
- Output: 54 Minor items and 17 Major items. (3.12:1, or 23.9% promotion)
- Input: 40 sets of 4x Major items.
- Output: 31 Major items and 9 Superior items. (3.44:1, or 22.5% promotion)
- Input: 71 sets of 4x Minor items.
- I appreciate that people are more likely to report their results if they get a rarity promotion, but now I'm wondering where we got the 20% number on Mystic Forge#Equipment. -Chieftain Alex 20:40, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- I will blow some money on a bunch of minor sigils and test it out after armor/skin stuff, and after I hit up the last few karma merchants in orr. I do have logs detailing about 2000 trials of forging upgrade components from when I was investigating its viability as a moneymaking venture. Psycho Robot (talk) 20:57, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- upload to google drive / paste them somewhere so i can analyse them badly? :P -Chieftain Alex 16:52, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
- Turns out it was 1000 trails, with 4000 total nuggets as input (t2 gemstone)

- There's an error of 2 returns somewhere. I'm a terrible statistician. Psycho Robot (talk) 17:07, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
