I mean rare as the the English word, not actually the class item. But point noted.
I agree with all, my intention with the post wasn’t so we could calculate odds of rare and epic ascension items (better? Heh), but rather understand how the tiers work as a whole.
“4* ascension items start to drop at tier 7.”
What’s the source of this info? Personal experience? Devs?
“At tier 9 you start to get 3 items per kill, before that it is 2.”
That’s not true, you get 3 at 7 and 8 as well. 7 seems to be a chance of that to happen, I found one with 3, the rest 2. But 8 is steady. Didn’t find a single with 2 (maybe I was lucky). And this are my actual Titans, I flight 6-8 all the time and got a few VIII tiers.
I would like to remind you that reportedly in one of the big updates, lot on Titan were made better to lower rank. So maybe that was true in the past.
“There is no guarantee that in a single titan the higher scores = tiers get actually better loot than lower ones.”
That’s not exactly true. Loots do get better, you get more items as the tiers go up, more iron, more food. What you actually saying is that there’s no guarantee that the loot, improved or not, will roll useful items or items you need. That’s subjective. For me getting gloves is a bad loot. Getting trap tools is a bad loot. Just like someone that is using only 5* heroes won’t really care for most of the 4* he draws.
That’s one of the reason I did this “study”, people seem to look at Titan’s loot and only see the rare/epic ascension loots and classify the quality of that loot by that. And I wanted to understand it further, regardless of rarity. Call it curiosity.
But yes, there’s no guarantees of getting rare/epic items you need. But the loots are clearly getting better.
