Rubi testing[]
To see how rubi cells affected drop rates, I kept track of the number of rare items dropped from my Qilin runs, both with and without rubi.
With 3 rubi (no cobalt): 104 runs, 0 Coruscanti, 3 Lux, 3 boots, 10 gorgets, 6 pouches. Total of 22 "rare" drops in 104 runs, for a drop rate of 21.2%.
With zero rubi (zero cobalt): 68 runs, 0 Coruscanti, 0 Lux, 1 boots, 5 gorgets, 4 pouches. Total of 10 "rare" drops in 68 runs, for a drop rate of 14.7%
Conclusions:
Rubi does increase the drop rate for rare items (for those statisticians
among you, the student's t-distribution odds of this distribution
without rubi cells being a dependent variable are less than 30%)
3 x Rubi increases Qilin drop rates by ~50% (14% to 21%)
Qilin is a stingy b*gg*r when it comes to Coruscanti --Kmera 13:12, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
- On a related subject, Vivid Periapt of Glory and Dusky Periapt of Glory each increases the Red (quality of drops) spectral alignment by 25% which can further increase the drop rates on rare items. There are discussions and claims on BG that seem to substantiate this. Quixacotl (talk) 18:31, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
