I don't know why, but I had a great drop rate :

Flying to Monza (with Jumbo) :
72 flights --> 10 items = 13,9% !
With Sky Captain and Dice !

Are you a Gold or Silver ? Just wondering if it makes any difference, especially for a Gold Subscription

I don't have any subscription ! But, you are right, with gold subscription it must make difference !

Rapid City: 7/50 14%
Phoenix: 7/54 13%
Des Moines: 9/53 17%

All bonuses used, SC, SG, POL, GD, D

Had my one map to santa barbara that I flew today...18 drops needed. I had SC, Dice, GD, and spyglass....a +400% increase in drop rate, so I shouldve gotten a 25% drop rate. Based on that rate, I shouldve needed only about 72 flights to get them. It took me 123 flights, and that's after I ran out of both blankets and attitude indicators at around 110 flights or so. I had to rely on ads, open item chests, and pay a couple greenies to get the final drop. Worst map Ive ever flown by far...only had about a 15% drop rate. Im wondering if these items really are stacking like how they used to.

Without GD I had a 9% overall drop rate, so I think GD helped you there.

Did we ever get an idea of what the default drop rate is for alliance maps? If my default rate percentage wasnt correct, then it may explain why I got the drop rates I got

Not for alliance maps as far as I know. Only for Adventure Maps with base rate of 10%, I think.

But from what I saw so far, without GD, it’s as @deepgreensea said. Around 10%

Before the bonus changes, my avg s3 drop rate was sub 10%. And in fact for some reason giants were the worst at sub 7%. Post change it didnt quite double, but considerably better.

What bonuses did you have activated to get the 7%? I always thought the default with no bonus was around 6%

All of them, GD, D and SC. No SG since that was only events back then.

Would be interesting to use SC, GD, D, SG and bowl of riches

Hmm...maybe the default is around 3% then. I think I documented the default elsewhere, but would need to check it to verify.

I am not sure how exactly it works, but I am sure the don't just stack up. I think it makes some sort of median or average from active bonuses. Last time I flew maps, I made maybe 30 flights without drop and then had 5 drops from 6 planes. It seems quite random.

 

[deepgreensea]

I did an Adventure map run on my supports and got 12 drops from 100 Hawk flights to Merida running no bonuses at all. S3 maps are obviously harder but I thought it was worth sharing this baseline.

 

[deepgreensea]

I did a S3 Owl run to Vaduz with no bonuses too, 100 flights with just 2 drops.

 

[deepgreensea]

Today’s map run, running SC, SG, and Dice plus PoL for the first 30 flights.
Hawk to Dusseldorf 167 flights, 20 drops (12%)

Baselines are the most important metric of any drop rate study. Thank you for at least one datapoint. If you fly any more maps, please let us know the base drop rate

Im starting to think that as well. Initially, they did stack, but in recent times, the rates certainly feel lower
