Wolfsfang Peak Data
Post Body

Hey guys, been collecting data on and off the past week or so. Wondering if anyone would find any of these data useful or not.

Notes:
* The data is only from 5 complete runs, so it's definitely not the most accurate data you can find. That said, the data has been relatively consistent, considering.
* I didn't include non-drops (i.e. instances when the monster didn't drop anything), and non-steals (i.e. when I accidentally killed a monster before stealing from it, or the monster had nothing to steal).
* There could be typos (probably many).

Results:
Google Sheets

I couldn't figure out how to embed the images directly into this post, so here are links to them instead.

  • Troops Data
    This image shows a complete composition of the monsters you will find, and in what combinations. The data in this image shouldn't be changed. However, some people here, and on the Wiki have found instances where the numbers don't tally, i.e. extra monsters, but have not actually noted the differences down.

  • Zoning Map
    A very ugly zoning map, to be used with Troops Data.

  • Items Summary
    This image shows the percentage each item drops throughout the map, as well as the items from Collection Points.

  • Items by Monsters
    This image shows the item drops by monsters, i.e. which monsters drop which items, and how often. It also includes the monsters' statistics (Lvl, HP, MP, Elemental Resistances, Status Resistances, Gil given, and EXP given; and where each monster appears, how often, and their total appearances.

Findings:
Here are some key findings:

  • There are 8 monsters Frost/Snow Dragon.

  • Most common monster drop/steal: Gaia's Tear

  • While the data doesn't 100% reflect this, I believe that anything that can be stolen from a monster can also be dropped by the same monster, EXCEPT, Esper Crysts and Esper Shards, those can only be dropped, and not stolen.

  • Not 100% sure on this, but it seems that, if you don't include the Esper Crysts and Esper Shards, each item has a similar chance of getting dropped by/stolen from the same monster (e.g. Spiritsand has a ~18% chance to be dropped by/stolen from Bas-relief).

  • Each item has a different drop/steal percentage. There seem to be some common drops, and some rare drops.

  • Average drops from Collection Points: 18.6 (range: 17-20)

  • Iron Ores are the most common Collection Point drops, followed by Copper Ores.

  • Ice and Water Megacrysts have ~5.5% chance of dropping, i.e. each run will net you an average of 1 each.

  • Magicite Shard: 4.3%; 0.8/run

  • Magicite: 10.8%; 2/run

  • Blue Magicite: 4.3%; 0.8/run

  • Blue Megacite: 2.2%; 0.4/run

Summary:
So yeah. Does anyone find this data useful, or should I just stop? Hahaha Comments/feedback/help are greatly appreciated!

EDIT:
* I'm collecting data on other maps, dungeons, and vortexes also, but they're not ready at all. I think the data would prove more valuable if we could compare them.

EDIT2:
* Added a (very ugly) zoning map.
* Please let me know what data I should collect. I'm thinking of not collecting Steal data because (i) it takes up a shitload of time, and it's really fucking annoying when RNG is against me, and I have to steal from one monster >10 fucking times (can you feel my angst); (ii) it's quite similar to Drop rates, but a bit less accurate, because drops have two extra items.

EDIT3:
* Uploaded my Excel document to Google Sheets so people can view it in real time, and I don't have to keep renewing the images.
