Guild Wars 2

So looking over the wiki I discovered that their data on drop rates is very incomplete and any data that is available is usually too small of a sample size to produce any useful results. Is there any other resource out there that is better?

Drop rates are easy: If it’s an item you really really really want, it won’t drop for you, but it will drop all over the place for other people.

RNG is a harsh, cruel mistress.

The data’s also only how many bags drop a stack of 1 or more of an item. Which makes it hard to tell if buying for X, opening and selling will be profitable. What is useful for that is knowing how many of item you will roughly get opening 250 of a bag, not how many tiny stacks of that item.

Your profit varies a fair amount if 10% of the time, you get 1 iron ore versus 10% of the time, you get 4 to 6 iron ore, for example. The wiki drop rates intentionally don’t store that information.

You don’t need a database when you have Wanze. Seriously though, go through his posts; he’s opened tens of thousands of them, and shared detailed info in several threads. It’s a good place to start

Yeah, i made my own data collections and have higher data samples than the wiki on most lootbags. There are also lots of lootbags that have an incomplete loot table on the wiki. I invested alot of time putting info into spreadsheets and wont share it to protect my profits.
