Treasure Hunter testing by Tristaenkun

NOTE This is still being conducted and will most likely look horrible as I constantly edit this page multiple times a day.

Welcome.

Over the next few months I will be conducting extensive tests as to determine the effect of Treasure Hunter. I will only be using 2 scenarios at the moment but i will add more later as I level THF.

For now I will test with 2 different Job combinations. TEST#1 60Red Mage/30Ninja (No Treasure Hunter.) TEST#2 25Thief/12Ninja (Treasure Hunter I.) For my test I am not trying to see how often individual items dropped, I am trying to see if anything drops.

For this test I will kill 500 Crawlers in East Sarutabaruta. I will ignore day of the week but I will not kill on a Full Moon or New Moon.

Crawlers (No TH)
I will list 4 things.
 * How many times after killing a crawler did it drop something. (Example: If I killed 10 crawlers and 5 times it dropped an item then it drops something 50% of the time.
 * How many items total did it drop.
 * Percentage appearance of each possible drops.
 * True Drop rate for each items based on appearance and frequency of drop rate, using the equasion: (TDR = DP * IAR) where TDR is "True Drop Rate" which is the chance that you will see the item drop after 1 kill; DP is "Drop Percentage" which is the chance that any item will drop after 1 kill; and IAR, or, "Item Appearance Rate" which is the percentage chance that an item that dropped will be a particular item.

@ 50 Kills
NOTE:Out of the seven times an item dropped from a Crawler, 3 of those dropped 2 items each. All three of these occurances were on Darksday. As such I will refrain from killing on Darksday for the remainder of the test.
 * Dropped an item 7/50 times which is 14% of the time.
 * Dropped a total of 10 items.
 * Total number of Crawler Calculus dropped was 6/10 items or 60%.
 * True drop rate of Crawler Calculus is 8.4%.
 * Total number of Smooth Stone dropped was 1/10 items or 10%.
 * True drop rate of Smooth Stone is 1.4%.
 * Total number of Silk Thread dropped was 3/10 or 30%.
 * True drop rate of Silk Thread is 4.2%.
