Excavation flights drop rate.

[uschu]

Last week I spent a lot of time for Excavation Flights to earn some maps.
Unfortunately the map drop rate was very low.

What bonus would you recommend to increase that drop rate?

If you throw 600-700%worth of bonuses you’ll get better than a 50% rate. I’ve gone as high as 800% and they drop nearly 100%

Same here. For excavation flights I will also get nearly a 100% drop rate if I throw all the bonuses at it. (I have a lot of bonuses)

Thanks Jenn and Dave for your Feedback, I think I was too carefull with my bonuses generally.

After version 8.42, it is evident that the flight rewards obtainable through activities will significantly decrease

I have not noticed this. Did a map run to Santa Rosa (Giant alliance map) this past week and got 35% drop, which is on the extreme high end for alliance maps. I assume excavation maps would be similarly unaffected.

The Ancient India destinations do seem to have lower drop rates but I can’t tell you if it’s new. I only got about 40 drops out of 500 to Mumbai with the occasional bonus.

Last night I used my event earned fuel to fly to Hyderabad and got 38 drops on 66 flights. I was running a flight item bonus of +900% which usually guarantees a drop every flight.

Obviously it’s still a good drop rate but was lower than I’ve seen. Of course it’s possible those 5 particular destinations are just harder for some reason

Looks like you are correct. T-bird and Condor adventure maps are "very seldom" for drop rates. The Condor drops haven't changed, but T-bird drops have changed to "very seldom" based on the wiki. I will update the wiki for T-bird adventure map drop rates. Thanks!
