Yeah, they do not seem to drop a completly random number between 80 and 15000 copper, mostly 2-8 silver (I opened 18 of them and got around 99 silver). Should be noted. --90.227.63.206 14:36, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
I just opened one and got 6s 1c. I remember the one before was 4s and some change, but we should probably not have such silly skeptical wording on the page. —Sahjiarah 06:45, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

I have created a base subpage for this research, which can be found on Heavy Bag of Coins/Drop Rate - Infinite - talk 13:18, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I did Brought just now 114 Bags, it cost me 16g 40s 43c on current price (112 x 14s39c, 1 x 14s38c and 1 x 14s37c) then i opened them all, i did got none over 1g, and 13 of them was under 1s. in total i did get 7g74s03c so i lost 8g66s40c. it was 114 bags so i didnt write down all i did get from them.

The German Wiki says the maximum value would be 3.99 gold coins. A user named Elea Menta postet that. Just to protocoll. User Yullive Consume Soul.png Yullive 22:51, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Statistic about gold drops from Heavy Bag of Coins[edit]

So I created a spreadsheet, for people who want to participate in the quest to determine what the aveage drop from Heavy Bag of Coins is.

There is a How to use this spreadsheet, if you follow the link.

Here is it.

Heavy Bag of Coins spreadsheet

Biggest Pro:

  • crowdsourcing, if many people participate, we will fill this sheet very quickly.


Biggest Con:

  • no raw data, just the end results.

I hope many will participate.

As commendable your intentions are, the wiki should research document these statistics on the actual wiki, where it's much less prone to vandalism and similar changes. I urge you to add your findings to the section above, which I will shape into a section a little more... usable and clean. - Infinite - talk 12:30, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
Actually, the wiki is just as prone to vandalism and trolling and it's only slightly easier to notice/fix. The wiki should make use of the most thorough testing and reliable data it can find, regardless of whether it's on the wiki or not. The best info on wintersday gifts was posted on Reddit, but not here. There are plenty of other examples of useful research published outside the wiki, e.g. the official forums, guru, or elsewhere. 75.37.16.51 14:54, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
The people who contribute to the wiki aren't very interested in spading. Google spreadsheet and such is better for spading, we just get to wikilize the tables here and have a place to discuss it. You can look at some reddit thread and some guys like to put a lot of effort into this.--Relyk ~ talk > 15:52, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
