Loot Skull Chests Statistics
 

I'm posting this thread because I feel as if players such as myself need more information about how to find famed weapons. Many players such as myself will spend hours a day trying to find a famed weapon. I want to save time, as much as possible when searching for famed and legendary weapons.

This is not a guide, I simply want to see how many loot skull chests you've found, and how many famed weapons you've found in that amount. Please note, I'll post my own stats as an example.

82 skull chests since two weeks ago. Total hours of play, 3 1/2. Tormenta and El Patrons Mine.
Three famed weapons. Dagger of the Golden Idol, Bejeweled Sabre, and the Spinecrest sword.

This thread is so that players can see the chance that they MIGHT have of getting a famed weapon, and from where. This is basically like a loot drop thread, only you post the amount you found in what time, and how many fames.

PLEASE do not post saying you found 120 skull chests, and say you found five legendarys, with no pictures of you opening a loot chest to back your up your claims. If you post screenshots of you finding five legendary's, well, we can only assume the number of loot skull chests you posted is probably right.(unless it's up in the 1,000,000 range.)

So, 3 out of 82 fameds in skull chests for me, does anyone else have better luck?

NO! I stopped counting this week after getting 100 skulls. (That might seem weird, but I keep statistics on this.) I have noticed a HUMONGOIDIUS (:O New word!) drop in any worth while drops. Total famed this week: an amazing 0. In weapons, that's about 95% junk I wouldn't be caught dead with and leave behind. I have much worse luck than you my friend. :(

Same, have found over 50 skulls from darkhart, 0 famed weapon, while my continues to find a famed each day he plays! no fair...

Well, let me check the percentage real fast. 3/82 famed equals 0.0365 and to get the right percentage we'll need to multiply it by 100, making it a 3.65 percent chance to find a famed weapon in a loot skull chest.

Is this true for everyone? Of course not, considering you guys have found 0 out of 50 and 100, which is completely possible.

While I continue to search for famed and legendary weapons, I will update my stastists, and won't stop until I reach 1000 loot skull chests, which should give me around 30 famed weapons. I just want to have a reference so that I can go back and compare my luck with others. I mean hey, maybe in the end it really is the same for everybody.

wow... 4% for famed inside a skull... skull is hard enough to get already...
lol what about legendary weapons? would it be like 0.000003% chance?
I want to go back to 2 months ago when I find a famed in every like 15 skulls I open.. sigh...
Guess I used up all my luck..

I'm going to reset my counter today, and see about my statistics daily.

EDIT: 18th skull chest today got me this:

Don't have any recent Famed to provide a screenshot for, but in 221 skulls since the Raven's Cove update I have found a Master Crafted Repeater Pistol, Sacred Repeater Pistol, Banshee Doll, Occult Doll, and Knives of the Golden Idol. Pistols from the mines, knives and dolls from Tormenta.

Since I'm just curious, every 100 loot chests I get, I'll reset, and see how many famed weapons I get. My luck is probably completely different than some people, so I want to see if my luck goes up or down.

8 more chests before I reset, I'm currently at 92. If I don't get any famed weapons, then the amount I find will sit at 3% for my chance. If it happens to go up the next 100, great, but I'm not crossing my fingers.

Keep working hard to crack the Loot Code! :D

so far this is the pattern I have noticed while killing darkhart, abassa.
When a famed weapon come, there would be another famed after around an hour (since it is in abassa, you might have to multiple that by like 6 for quiet servers) Then it would be around 5-6 hours before another few comes. Sometimes 2 may come at a time, but it is not very common.

Just thought I'd throw this in: Enemies with drops have more health. I noticed this by one-hit killing Brutes and Witchdoctors. Even a lower level enemy than the rest took two hits while the higher-level enemies took one. And sure 'nuff he dropped a pouch. Won't help much, but hope it does somehow.

I've just started trying this statistic thing.

Recorded time looting so far from the last 2 days.

Day 1
Tormenta – 2 hours
1 skull with rare
2 skulls with common

Neban – 2 skulls with common (30 minutes)

Sailing – 1 skull with rare (corsair’s sea globe)
(15 – 20 minutes)

Day 2
Tormenta – 15 minutes
1 skull with famed ( privateer’s bayonet )

So I guess that's about 7 skulls, 3 hours to 3 hours 5 minutes, 2 rare weapons, 4 common and a famed.
A famed, but not a keep, already have corsair's bayonet.

1 out of 11 skull chests, 1 and a half hour.

http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/g...9_06-49-26.jpg

12 skulls at Darkhart last night, all rare or common for me.

Wow, I feel like I get rare items at the same rate you get famed, MacIronhawk.

On Sunday I played a total of nine hours. Got around about 40 skull chests total from El Patron's mine, Tormenta, Darkhart, and Neben. No famed, and only like 3 rare that entire day.

Wow Dog! That's a great skull chest! I've ALWAYS been looking for a king of diamonds! It's probably the rarest card ever, consider yourself blessed!

For everyone who doesn't understand, this is sarcasm.

Ooooh a Shaman Doll. Nice find Doggy. And zOMG a King O' Diamonds!

I spent 3 hours in the Thrall and Urchinfist room in Tormenta tonight, and got 14 Skull chest. Of those 14, only 2 maybe 3 of them were worth anything, but no Famed or Legendary weapons. :(

Played 10 minutes at darkhart today, and finally got me first famed this month! Seven seas dagger, 19th skull this month, 25 hours of gameplay. I was so happy I forgot to take a screenie ... lol

My luck seems to be good as far as finding loot skull chests, for the little searching that I do when I'm in the game. I'm up to about 20 skull chests into my second hundred, but I haven't found any famed weapons for about 60 skull chests. It's a real disappointment when you get three back to back chests, and the last one you get for the day has a lame staff and fifteen gold in it.

Well, I'll keep up with this, and see if my luck changes, but I won't count on it. Until I get all seven famed weapons, I'm going to keep track of every single skull chest.

My luck seems to be coming back again after 1 month of nothing.
7th skull today, 1 hour of gameplay. And this time I remembered the screenie... almost forgot.. lol

Ok, Merri seems to get better loot then Jason. Only a 30 level difference. XD

Yup, famed I can't use. Masterwork Saber. Solds it.

Jus go a Masterwork Cutlass off a Seabeard in the treasure room. Forgot to take a screen of it for you guys to enjoy.

Here's my current time spent looting and weapon results.
Day 1
Tormenta – 2 hours
1 skull with rare
2 skulls with common

Neban – 2 skulls with common (30 minutes)

Sailing – 1 skull with rare (corsair’s sea globe)

1 skull with famed ( privateer’s bayonet )

Tormenta - 55 minutes
4 skulls with common

Day 3

3 skulls with common
1 skull with rare (wilderness throwing knives)

Day 4

1 skull with common

Day 6
Tormenta – 1 hour
2 skulls with common

7 skulls with common

So that's like 8 and a half hours
22 common weapons

1 famed weapon

Something makes me think there actually is a "Loot Law". Every time I crack it, it changes on me :undecided:

BTW: The last famed I got was a skullbone repeater, I think, not counting Nautilus Blade. I got skullbone last month. So, I get a famed every few months. Makes me feel like looting isn't worth it:sadmh9:

Aye same here. Although, it's only been about a week and a half since my last famed (junk) weapon.

Played for 9 hours on Sunday, got 23 Skull Loot Chests, no famed weapons.

i was training my voodoo staff on this group of soilder wasps and sometime they drop loot skull chests... i found a famed cutlass in 1...

i need 3 more sword level to use it tho -_-

12th skull in gold room

96th skull, around 40 hours of gameplay and finally saw blue letters! First famed this month. right after I took the charm, gave darkhart a shot, he dropped another skull and I got a famed Hex guardian doll (forgot to take pic). My luck seems to be returning after 1 whole month of nothing.. :piratewheelgo2:

Pshhh I dont have any famed

Tried it still ant working :P

Ok, now i am going to record like JT, but here are some places where I got them,


Southern Grave - 1 Sword of Decay (rare) - 1 hour - Lvl 38
Thralls + Urchanfists - 1 Grave Reaper (rare) - 20 minutes - Lvl 39
Spineskulls + Flotsams - 1 Bloodfire Sword (rare) - 1 hour - Lvl 40

In the past 2 weeks in POTCO, I have gotten about 40 maybe 50 skulls, none of them containing famed or legendary. Most of my skulls come from Darkhart, but the ones at Darkhart only contained commons, and a few times absolute junk (crude weapons).

It would be more valid if you included a trial table showing your results, number of kills, method used and amount of Famed/Legendary weapons received.

I dont think it has to do with whether you open loot or not, also 2 people I know have goten lost sword from loot chest, and many others have found famed from loot chests, and even pouches! Ye might be missing out on some famed for not peeking at whats inside! :sadmh9:

It all has to do with luck. the more enemy's you kill, the higher chance of getting one. so maybe running around and killing random people would help more then staying in one spot.

Well, since March (when the loot system came out) I've gotten 1 Famed. So 1 Famed and like 500 skulls......

I dont think so, running around would only decrease your chance. pretend the chance of famed drop is 1:1000 and you kill 10 random enemies. that would make 1:1000x10 = 1:10000 chance of famed drop. Not saying that you shouldn't change enemies, but I think saying in 1 enemy for a few hours, then changing to another would be best, or killing mutiple enemies at once (tormenta).
for example: (all the enemies are random enemies from different places)
first enemy: chance 1:1000
second enemy: 1:1000
third enemy: 1:1000
forth enemy: 1:1000
and so on, every enemy have 1:1000 drop chance.
but staying in 1 place increases the chance:
first kill: 1:1000
second kill: 2:1000
third kill: 3:1000
forth kill: 4:1000
the more times you kill the same enemy, his famd loot drop would be closer (due to the theory that loot drops rotate)
If loot doesn't rotate, however, then all the enemies killed would be 1:1000 chance, and its all about luck, then any method works, because every enemy's chance becomes 1:1000, no matter for random kill or stay at same enemy.

Loot doesn't rotate. I'm just saying it all has to do with luck, so the more enemy's you kill the higher chance of getting it. for example. if you are looking for some rum, you would have a higher chance of finding it if you searched every building, savvy?

lol, either way, you still need luck, whether loot rotates or not, if it does, you have to be at the right place at the right time, if it doesn't,I wonder if disney's computer accept bribes...lol

I have been thimking maby the number of people on the server matters.

I think so too, because the more ppl = more loot given. So more loot given = more chance of famed. But with a large amount of people, you might not receive the famed, someone else might.. so still back to luck.. lol

I usually go on quiet servers and i get a lot of loot skulls if its just me and a friend. I think it's because there is a set amount of loot containers per-server, so it would be something like this. Keep in mind that they do reset the servers more often then you think.

Loot pouch=10,000
Loot Chest=1,000
Loot Skull Chest=100

To prove my theory, I was at Abassa Darkhart for two hours. I only got three skull chests. When I went to a quiet server, I don't remember which one, I had gotten at least for in less then half an hour. So maybe it DOES rely on how many people are on the server. But my theory is kinda of opposite to yours. But someone try it, tell me what happens :P

PS Yea yea, your gonna go with the luck theory again huh? But like I said, at least TRY it :D

Sounds like you all got better luck then me. I got a Revenant Doll from a Spineskull on Tormenta. I got a War Scattergun from Darkhart. I also got a Masterwork Broadsword from a ghost on Ravens cove. Haven't got anything lately though. :sadmh9: Guess i gotta keep looking though. :piratewheelgo2:
