TOPIC: 2014 Treasure Pulls

Re: 2014 Treasure Pulls 9 years 7 months ago #61

Statistically speaking if a random person pulls 400 tokens with a 1% chance of pulling a Special token they should pull 4.

They might pull 5 or 6, they might pull 3 or 2.
If they pull 1 out of 400 the math says the stated percentages were off.

I understand there are varying factors, I'm just referencing the core math.

This is not entirely true. If there were only 400 tokens, this is true. There were more than 30 buckets of mixed tokens, so even with 400 pulls you had a very small sample. Yes, it seems rough, but it can happen.

One? Oh, I calculated the probability of getting zero. The probability of getting exactly one special is (.99^399)*(.01^1)*400, which comes out to about 7.25%.

It's worth noting that the most common result, getting exactly four, actually happens less than 20% of the time. You have a 43% chance of getting less than four and a 37% chance of getting more than four.

Since we are discussing pull percentages:

Rares: 13 (33%)
Uncommons: 21 (51%)
Monster Bits: 7 (17%)

As an aside, I did three runs and got all but one of the monster bits on the first run (the Viper Puzzle GT run).

My only noteworthy pull was a 1,000 GP Gold Bar.
Have you looked it up in the TDb ?

our group had ~400 pulls over the 4 days. i didnt break down the UC/R ratio but we pulled the following:

1x 10k bar
2x Boots of the Marauder
79 Monster Trophies
~6k loose gp

I don't think we ever pulled a completion token but we could have because I was mixing all our pulls and completion tokens in the same bag to be sorted later.

24 pulls:

0 Specials
10 Monster Bits
7 Rare
7 Uncommon


3 Wyvern
4 Hawk Kin
3 Sand Beast
0 Medusa

In my first run I asked the volunteer if they had seen any purples drawn, and they said they had only seen one during their shift, and it was by a first timer.

On my seconded run I asked the same thing, and they said that they had not seen one pulled the whole shift and that box was just refilled.

Didn't ask after that. Besides at 1% I had a low shot anyway.

About 160 pulls for my group over the four days, nothing crazy, 1700gp, 38 monster bits, 1 nightmare completion token, looks like an even rare/uncommon split for the rest but I still haven't gone through it all.

Heard someone pulled a 25k bar, saw two 00 packs get cracked by other folks.

In all my years playing true dungeon with over 1000 treasure pulls, I've never pulled anything "special" (except last year...even then, my ratio was lower than most others I heard). I guess I'm lucky that way. Still, it's an exciting experience nonetheless.
