Talk:Cracked Fractal Encryption

Drop rate research?

Opened 250 of these, got 3 mini professor mews, 6 aquatic recipes, and one 'ascended heavy helm' recipe from which you can choose the stats to be able to craft. This is with t3 mastery. 23.113.139.49 04:46, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Drop research table

It'd be helpful if someone with the wiki know-how could create a table for drop-rate research for users to add their attempts. Until then, here is the loot from opening 100 with level 4 fractal mastery (although lvl4 likely doesn't change drops from lvl 3) . The ascended recipe is stat-selectable medium leggings.

And here there's also quite some drop research: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3r4jio/king_fractal_droprate_research_hot_update/ --RedGlow (talk) 09:02, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I've created a drop research table. It's a bit unwieldy, and should probably be re-formatted by someone, but it can be found at http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cracked_Fractal_Encryption/research Eqbot (talk) 20:55, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello i just want to confirm i got a berserker ascended ring in one of my fractal encryption boxes. I got a cyrstalline band 126 power 85 precision 85 ferocity. I got it from a level 10 fractal with no agaony resistence. I used an ascended tool to break it down. I was a condition build pistol engineer with 116% base magic find. --162.200.113.53 04:42, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Aquabreather recipes

Got Ventari's and Occam's Cloth Breather recipes. I think it's safe to say that all aquabreather recipes drop from the chest, so why not put "*A random repice for ascended aquabreather" instead of the whole big list? And maybe also make some kind of section for ascended aquabreathers in ascended armour page? So that [[ascended aquabreather]] would redirect to that section? I'm too unexperienced to do any of that. Also I have no idea how to put a recipe for the { {contained in} } thing.-Sutgon (talk) 17:51, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

One of the reasons they're all listed there is so that the recipes show where they come from on their respective pages --Gimmethegepgun (talk) 18:29, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

All aquabreathers with the significant exception of the Hearts of Thorns aquabreathers, which with the exception of the master craftsmen bought recipes cannot be obtained at all. -Chieftain Alex 18:40, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

But they don't exist at all, do they? -Sutgon (talk) 18:48, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

HoT stat aquabreathers do not no... because RIP underwater content. -Darqam (talk) 19:08, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Aetherized Skins

Can anyone confirm these drop from the Encryption? I've opened about 15k of these and haven't seen any. The F. Prince (talk) 14:18, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

I got one about a month ago for the first time after doing fotm every day since reworks. So yeah they drop, just stupid rare. -Darqam 15:35, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Can also confirm, got a warhorn a few months back. —Ventriloquist 16:21, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Is it correct that these no longer drop aquabreather skins? If so I guess I can do some editing where the recipes are referenced. --Sutgon (talk) 12:15, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Aquabreather recipes redux

Currently, if you go to the recipe pages for the ascended aquabreather's, the only acquisition method listed is to buy them from the vendor. Then, I noticed on this page that they are not listed as dropped from the Cracked Fractal Encryption. Why not? They certainly are a possible drop. Then, how do we get the recipe pages to show that they are ALSO contained in this item. ~Mervil 03:49, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Well, I did some more research and found some patch notes from November 2016 stating, "Removed the ascended aquabreather recipes from Cracked Fractal Encryption. The recipes can be purchased from BUY-4373." So it appears all is as it should be. ~Mervil 04:00, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

I think this Reddit post with a 1 million dataset should be linked in the references. https://old.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/khwj92/research_fractal_encryptions/

The data doesn't suggest anything much different than the 42 silver valuation on our drop page , 0.02% for the aetherized skins, or the 43% drop rate for Proofs. ( https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cracked_Fractal_Encryption/research ) --Life Infusion «T» 18:01, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
