Drop rate statistics - let's party!

Aeraxis, since you have two computers and characters with high drop rate, I think the most useful tests you could do will be:

1. Do some solo runs on Character 1
2. Do some solo runs on a character with no drop buffs from another account (we'll call it character 3).
3. Do party runs of characters 1+3, where 1 is leader and does all the killing.
4. Do party runs of characters 1+3, where 3 is leader but 1 does all the killing.
5. Do party runs of characters 1+3, where 3 is leader and does all the killing.
6. Do runs where 1 goes in alone, then parties 3 who is waiting outside.

I believe this will cover the biggest issues people have been raising doubts about: whether party drop rate goes by party leader, or by attacker, or an average of all party members regardless; and whether partying someone outside the map has any effect.

As to how many runs with each configuration: the more, the better. I would say at least 10 (so, 2 days, assuming no runs get ruined by choco frenzy or other causes) of each type.

Also, if you have an overabundance of spare time, try doing all of the above with characters 2 and 4 (some other no-drop-buff mule). Don't reset your SP. Can you avoid using Showdown? If not, then we'll just have to deal with its partial effect.

Thanks in advance for any testing you are able to do.

Alright, I'll start doing the tests in a few days, most likely. Another thing to note is that Character 1 and Character 2 are also on different accounts, so a combination of Char 1 + Char 2 is also possible, though that may not be wanted since the drop rate difference between them is not as large as with 1/2 and a character with no drop gear.

I'll get back to you with results as soon as possible, and there's one thing that I'd like to request but if you don't want to, it's perfectly understandable.

If you use discord, could you add me and remind me to do the tests each day? Or else I'm afraid on some days I'm just going to skip simply due to sheer laziness or forgetting .:c

I'll PM you with the details if you agree, and if not, I'll just try my best to remember.
