Talk:Bonus Box of Goods/Drop rate

Feedback 2019/06/04

Okay, this as far as my Wiki-fu goes. Based on Stephane's list of contents in Bonus Box of Goods (Meta-Event Rush), some drops seem to appear in set multiples. I have absolutely no idea how to factor this into the research summary table. --Ojimaru (talk) 14:22, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

I have created the required templates: [[Template:Bonus Box of Goods (Meta-Event Rush) research header]], [[Template:Bonus Box of Goods (Meta-Event Rush) research line]] and [[Template:Bonus Box of Goods (Meta-Event Rush) research summary table]] Edit: [[Template:Bonus Box of Goods Meta-Event Rush research header]], [[Template:Bonus Box of Goods Meta-Event Rush research line]] and [[Template:Bonus Box of Goods Meta-Event Rush research summary]] .

Can you check if there is any error?--Tolkyria (talk) 14:40, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

None of my entries from the Data Entry page are translating into the research page. Not sure what I'm missing. — Ojimaru (talk) 14:56, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

It's working now. It seems like that the widget doesn't like parentheses in the template names. --Tolkyria (talk) 15:21, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Good to know! Thanks for the hard work! - Ojimaru (talk) 16:14, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Did I forget to add Bead of Liquid Karma? Or is it actually okay, since it's an guaranteed drop? Also "Bonetti's Rapier dropped from a bonus box" and "drop me razah's nightmare" should be treated somehow, maybe as Exotic weapon. --Tolkyria (talk) 21:24, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Bead of Liquid Karma is a guaranteed drop, and does not replace any other drops. I'm not keen on including a 100% drop rate item into a table researching other random drops. And yes, I've seen some sporadic map chat reports of named exotic drops, too. Exotic Weapon sounds workable. - Ojimaru (talk) 21:37, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Also, is there anyway to manipulate the summary table to account for the fixed quantity of each drop? E.g. Iron Ore, when it drops, will appear in stacks of 13. - Ojimaru (talk) 21:38, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Okay, can you include some text about Bead of Liquid Karma to [[Template:Bonus Box of Goods Meta-Event Rush research header]], so that the users are aware of it?

Well, the Template:Container research summary table row, creating the displayed rows, has a quantity parameter: qty. However, the two templates before this template is used, doesn't, namely Template:Bonus Box of Goods research summary and Template:Container research summary table. I'm currently checking Widget:Container drop research form if it allows adding the quantity. --Tolkyria (talk) 21:46, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Edit: I checked it, and it's not possible. However adding a fixed quantity isn't even correct, I opened some boxes and didn't received the stated quantity. The stated quantity seems to be the mean, for example: I got 15 iron ore, checking the drop rates also yields this result. This definitely needs further investigations.

Furthermore, I didn't received a Bead of Liquid Karma once. Hence, no guaranteed drop. --Tolkyria (talk) 22:11, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Ojimaru can you add the amount of Bead of Liquid Karma that you recieved to your data? Thanks. —Kvothe (talk) 00:50, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Done - Ojimaru (talk) 02:25, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

You were partially right, Ojimaru. Bead of Liquid Karma is a guaranteed drop, unless one drops an exotic weapon instead, which was the case for me. See also drop table: 367 total, 366 beans, 1 exotic weapon.

However, this might be an oversight and was copy/pasted internally by a dev from the Bonus Box of Goods (World Boss Rush) loot table, where the exotic weapon dropped instead of Piece of Rare Unidentified Gear. --Tolkyria (talk) 15:31, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

think it drop exotic rare weapon too

Odd data

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/index.php?title=Bonus_Box_of_Goods_(Meta-Event_Rush)/Drop_rate&diff=1889029&oldid=1889012 shows "0" boxes entered

Agreed. Marked as 4 boxes based on no exotics and 4 karma items. -Chieftain Alex 23:09, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
