Recent S3 map runners?

[Wasted Eagle]

Did a S3 Condor run yesterday with GD, Dice, Spy glass, SC and gold sub. 14 drops / 113 flights / 12%

Also did an adventure flight run directly after. Had 61% drop rate to Samoa

Big difference in percentages between S3 and Adventure...
I ran 10% in alliance tasks. GD, D, SG and SC active...

I'd be interested to see if we see a drop rate difference when stacking bonuses.

 

[LX Air - Teresa]

I'd be interested to see if we see a drop rate difference when stacking bonuses.

After update:
S3: Canterbury 91 flights / 12 drops, 13%
Adventure: Delphi 60 flights / 22 drops, 37%
SC+D+GD (I think I didn’t use SG, notes aren’t clear)

Hi,

I did some S3 flights last week. One was prior to the upgrade, one was after the upgrade, and some were both before and after the upgrade.
I ended up with 12 items for each destination. (I now have 2 S3 Swifts flying to Egypt in 3mins 54 seconds, Weathervane activated.)

Acapulco......………..92 Flights .............................13% Drop Rate...……….Spyglass + Regular Dice + Sky Captain (All After Upgrade)
Tegucigalpa...…....164 Flights...……………………..7% Drop Rate...………..A Mixture of Before and After
Cartagena...…...….195 Flights...………………….….6% Drop Rate...………..Spyglass + Sky Captain (All Before Upgrade)
La Paz.....…………....147 Flights...…………………….8% Drop Rate...………..A Mixture of Before and After
San Pedro Sula.....134 Flights...………………...….9% Drop Rate...………..A Mixture of Before and After

I wrote my post as you were writing yours.

So we both got 13% after the upgrade, albeit stacking different bonuses !!

So it definitely looks like stacking is improving drops. Will give it a try when I go back to s3 flights.

Some interesting posts, and it is drawing me to a conclusion; Only the bonus of most effect matters, and they do not stack (based on the limited sample size).
Reading back through this thread, in old land (GD +150%), drop rates for Alliance maps (S3 map thread, so naturally more data), were in the 7-11% ball park (with an anomalous 17% in there).
@Harcourt and @TeresaLisboa returned 13% on S3 maps, with +300% bonus and +250% bonus respectively.
@A350 and @Crimdrac returned 12% on S3 maps with +150% bonus and + 400% (SC, D, GD + SG + Gold Sub [although technically this is listed as 'item drop', not collectable so I've not included the %]) respectively.

What do others think?

 

[MikeH]

We need more data, for sure. Will see. I will try some runs later in the week.

 

[deepgreensea]

Yesterday I did an Adventure map run to Sparta with Dice, Spyglass and SC. 57 flights resulting in 17 drops (30%).

 

[deepgreensea]

Did another Adventure map run to Thebes with Dice, Spyglass and SC. 50 flights resulting in 20 drops (40%).

 

[Strato]

My stats for S3 Hawk yesterday: 5 destinations with SC, SG, Dice, 6 drops for each of 5 destinations took 206 total flights (44, 28, 73, 37, 24 respectively). Overall drop rate is about 15% (30 drops of 206 flights). That is higher than I had for previous S3 runs with GoldenDice (was about 8-9%).

 

[Wasted Eagle]

Adventure map run Los Lunas for Condor running D, GD, SG and SC: 260 flights, 79 drops (30%). 👍🏼

Fun fact: ran Golden Wrench and got no breakdowns, zero...

Good morning.
I was wondering if anyone tried to fly purple maps recently?
I did 25 flights to Bilbao with 0 drops. Then moved to Acapulco, first 25 flights 0 drops, then it changed and I did get 6 drops from 66 flights (total).
Only Golden Dice bonus was activated. Tried to restart the game several times, as well as my internet connection.
Is it really that hard to get items needed for S3 Condor?

I did today this 2 destination, all bonuses active (SG, GD, SC, Dice)
BILBAO - 168 flights - Seville 204 Flights

 

[Barkmi4 (Mike)]

78 flights to Bath (Falcon), 12 drops GD active.
104 flights to Alicante (Condor), 11 drops, GD active.

Edit: 15% and 10.6% drop rate respectively - not awful

Latest S3 stats.
SC + D + SG = 100 + 50 + 150 = 300%
Exeter 13/106, 12.2% Falcon
Corinth 8/101, 7.9% Tbird
Granada 9/100, 9% Condor

All pretty similar to my drop rates with GD before the changes. Certainly not a noticeable difference when you are talking +150% then to +300% now.

I have spent an extremely wet and windy afternoon flying to get a S3 Turboprop.

I had Sky Captain, Spyglass and Regular Dice activated

I flew 4 Turboprops to each destination, rotating the destinations until I got 6 drops

Vaduz......…………….....32 flights.................18.75%
Baden-Baden......…...75 flights...…………...8.00%
Luxembourg......…….41 flights...………….14.60%
San Marino...……......43 flights...…………..13.95%
Monaco.……………….39 flights...……...…..15.38%

I don't know what I have done to upset Baden-Baden

For me it's always one map that has worse drop rate than others

 

[MikeH]

S3 Raven - Geneva 48 flights for 6 drops = 12,5%.
SG+SC activated.

 

[Navigata07]

Alliance destinations (none map) do seem to have the worst drop rate by far

Yeah I gave up on wanting those buildings....just not worth the dismal drop rates. Even for stars I dont think theyre worth it (well I dont see the point of chasing stars besides showing it in the forum, but I digress)

 

[Crimdrac]

Did a Falcon S3 run yesterday, 100 flights with 18 drops. 18%!!! Kinda happy with that.
Dice + GD + SG + SC + gold sub was active

 

[sphyyr]

Did 2 giant flights recently,
6/35 from San Jose and 6/32 from Santa Rosa
SC+Dice+SG activated.
