3000 Heavy Moldy Bags
6000 Clicks..
1 Ice pack later….
I was going to type it all out but I decided to just post the info from pics. Only thing not included is the 95s 5c that came from opening the bags. So the total does not include that.
Edit:Replaced Excel capture with corrected amounts. Please let me know if anything doesn’t match up.
Edit:Fixed totals from bag purchases to reflect equivalent decimals.
What’s Ice pack ?
I’ve never seen that.
But 2 giant eye =)
For the carpel tunnel clicking 6000 times caused :P I know 2 eyes, and only 2 of those other rare items. Funny the eye is almost 1g, the other is like 15c :P
1st, something not right about the Silk scrap money total (888 × 0.08 is 71.04). I also take it that these were at the lowest selling price and not the highest sell now price at the TP.
You did seem to get “lucky” on a few of those items compared to the drop rate, even taking varying amounts per drop into consideration.
Still a loss after taking the fees into consideration.

The post wasn’t about making profit from buying-opening-selling. It was just to illustrate drop rates and show people what they can expect from opening rather than selling directly. Had I gathered 3k bags, that would be complete profit. I’ll check the math on the one thing you mentioned.
And yes based on lowest price, when I DID sell them it was not for that price.
Edit:Completely right, I hadn’t started using the actual sum function until #3. I will remove the pic and replace it with the correct one, thanks for the catch.
I love to see data like this! Very much appreciated!
Has anyone studied the probability of Risen dropping a heavy moldy bag? I would think the drop probability is unaffected by magic find so the results should be consistent.
if you think clicking 6k times is bad… I had to click 25k (buying 25k beer) + 50k (using 25k beer) times to complete my “Thirst Slayer” achievement. My mouse is still working as good as before thought.

I know it was increased recently, but i don’t know if anyone did the math before so that we could compare. (Actual math and proof not “its so much worse omgzxxxfdqw”) :P
Can I use any soft for " clicking " ?
I mean how terrible for this while open exotic kama n bag =.=
If you have a “gaming” type of keyboard or mouse you can program a macro to spam the left mouse button. You can set a macro that’s a single left-click and set it to repeat. (Looks like Razer and Logitech have that option, I’m sure others would too.)

There are a few auto-clicker programs that makes your wheel button virtualize as left click. Its about 100 ckicks/ seconds hold wheel. So those bags would be only 30 secs
Well for those of us that made a fair share of gold using this, had bothered to spend 2 mins on downloading rscilent for autoclick at 0,1 millisecond, kinda speeds it up.
eitherway with rise most of us already left this due to the fees you have on postings(which most people wont take in count) so now the bags will rise even more and have zero profit for anyone, So OP you got a lot of bags you wish to sell for a good price in bank and wanted a rise of prices?

Nope (see my BLSK vs MSK thread), I seen people saying that they did not know whether to sell bags or open. By supplying an idea of what drops and the costs people can make better informed decisions. I’m not here to play the TP, I bought every one of those bags just for this purpose, not to make money. I did the same with MSK’s full knowing that my end result would mean i was losing tons of gold just to help the community see that BLSK had a better drop rate for ectos. Whether is rises or falls is not up to me, it will equal out again. But now people can have an idea of what they should do with their farmed bags, and know what they are potentially losing/gaining from either course of action. As always i try to keep my research as unbiased as possible. PS I sold all the mats just minutes after opening at lowest price, I don’t care much about gold, that is the easy part.
From time to time I feel like gambling a bit with bags. Bought some 7500 bags. Bound double click to a “frictionless” scroll down. It was a breeze. I didn’t make any profit, but that’s hardly a shock
I was bored so I calculated the percentages of tiers of loot dropping based on OP’s data.
% chance of T6-10.73%
% chance of T5-35.95%
% chance of Trash-52.06%
% chance of other-1.26%
The ‘other’ group obviously relates to the prefix on the bag opened(like lodestones from miner’s etc..).
The ‘trash’ group is named thus because of the negligible relative values because they are so common and found elsewhere, it includes T5&6 silk and leather.
I know the numbers probably seem skewed but that is because we don’t have data on how many of each came from every bag. Considering DR kicks in after as little as 30 minutes I wonder if we can extract the intended rate of attainment of this stuff that Anet planned for us? Maybe that info would alleviate some of the whining over legendary weapon difficulty and other general loot concerns.

I would have done those “every bag” info but that would have cause me to lose my hand/arm :P I do have the video recorded but it is very..very… long and thats like a week of watching and pausing at the fastest possible lol
This one “50,040” just seems off to me lol. Although it could be because the users name shows up on a multiboxing program website via google, or could just be that I feel my hand would fall off at that point.
