What is wrong with supply bundles?

Was excited to receive a blue supply bundle from a lich drop only to open it and find:

1. Poison potion value 40
2. Recipe for coli of met iron value 20
3. Saut. Bass value 5

Total value 65

Had grey supply bundles with better stuff ... disappointing

 

Better things are coming in 2020.

 

I agree that the contents need some adjustments. I'd like to see some more predictability in the types and quantities--something like this:

Possible Contents

• Raw Materials (wood, ore, fish, cotton, seeds, gem fragments, etc.)
• Uncommon Materials (tin, bark, gem, beetle, etc.)
• Rare Materials (T3 components)
• Legendary Materials (artifact components, boss components)
• Recipe
• Player Crafted Gear

Bags
Grey: 3 - 5 Raw, 0 - 1 Uncommon, 0 Rare, 0 Legendary, 1% chance Recipe, 5% chance Player Crafted Gear
Yellow: 5 - 7 Raw, 1 - 2 Uncommon, 0 - 1 Rare, 0 Legendary, 2% chance Recipe, 5% chance Player Crafted Gear
Blue: 7 - 10 Raw, 2 - 3 Uncommon, 1 - 2 Rare, 0 - 1 Legendary, 3% chance Recipe, 5% chance Player Crafted Gear
Orange: 10 - 15 Raw, 3 - 5 Uncommon, 1 - 4 Rare, 1 Legendary, 5% chance Recipe, 5% chance Player Crafted Gear

 

Yellow supply bags seem to be fairly rate these days. Just about everything I see is grey now.

Blue supply bags even more rare. Anyone else seeing this? Or RNG just picking on me ;-)

 

Like your recommendation Oakenhammer ... seems like a fair distribution. The rarity of the drops should correspond in some logical way to the contents. Appreciate your thoughts!

 

Regarding bundle contents ??

 

You can see what the API has to say about the rate of supply bundles on sotagraphs.com

 

Do you really believe that ?

 

The supply bundles drop infrequently enough that they could really do with a loot overhaul.
Nobody cares about the crappy food, maps, etc. junk. The blue and especially orange dropping <200g worth of crap is just demoralizing, considering how seldom you see them.

 

Now that I believe !

 

Side tracking this discussion a bit but geezus .. 23 dragon heads dropped in the same period of time as 1 wyvern head?

In that timeframe I, personally, have killed at least 40 wyverns solo. If the drop frequency is anywhere close to equivalent, which it obviously isn't, and the drop rate has been bumped up per @Chris that's just sad.

 

I've killed hundreds of wyverns since heads were introduced and I haven't gotten a single one.

 

As for the Wyvern Heads, in patch 1082:

• Drop chance for Wyvern heads from lesser wyverns increased

I have no clue as to what “lesser wyvern’s” are. Perhaps the ones in Barbarian encounters?

 

Maybe that's a good place to start after the R73 bugs are fixed. Are the wyvern's in Ulfheim lesser wyverns?

If so, someone has A. a sick sense of humor or B. there's an extra 0 or two after the decimal point in the drop rate calculations.

 

That I don’t know. All Wyvern look the same and are named the same, so we will never know......

 

So, where are the greater wyverns?

 

I have seen zero yellow bags in areas that used to have them at Tier 5. So yes, something is defiantly off in my limited experience. I would agree with the OP though as well. The higher the bag doesn't necessarily mean much improvement in loot. Kind of takes the fun out of getting them.

 

I got an orange once. I don't remember what was in it, but it was super crappy. As in, not as good as the average grey.

 

2 things:

Open a bundle or two first time logging in after being offline for some time.

Loot attenuation is a real thing.

Also RNG is a REAL thing.
So is the common core math; aka, “SOTA MATH.”

I’ve killed hundreds of Wyverns and have received 2 heads. (I said ‘have’ not ‘only’)

Things should have rarity, extremely low rarity.

If not, and everything becomes as common as a Dragon Head, might as well throw it on the COTO store, but be sure to put it as heraldry.

Cuz, ‘reasons.

 

Things are extremely rare already. Not for top 1%, but for the rest of us. Its not like we can farm high end bosses endlessly like some here. Loot is already **** because of them and everything is super rare.

EDIT: NOW I got it. (Extreme >low< rarity)
