I’m dreaming of a world where I don’t get 7 new Cedrics from 10 vault keys. Devs, can we make that happen? I mean it’s ridiculous. If it’s not possible to remove him from the drop table, for people who have 4 x mythic Cedric, because of some old spaghetti code 
, how about a soulforge recipe to craft vault keys from Cedrics. Something?

Make that 8 from 11 keys. You couldn’t make this ish up!

Cedric is absolutely a problem but it’s not the only one, vault keys are getting too diluted in general with so many tarot cards being added to the game. Change need to be made

That’s definitely true, also! But I’d settle for just never seeing another Cedric drop. How about a new pass! 10 weeks of no Cedric. /sarcasm.

What’s the drop rate of Cedric again?
(I’ve actually logged screenshots for EVERY vault battle I’ve run for over a year, I’ve just . . . not tabulated the data from it)
AFAIK, the drop rates of anything in the gnome vault, have never been made public. That’s a problem in itself. I personally let that go, since I would never buy a vault key.
But, I’d venture his drop rate is fairly high. In general, that isn’t too bad. Handy troop to have, especially for newer players. However, after drawing the 3000th Cedric, one finds oneself tacking a picture of Cedric on the old dartboard.

I believe it’s about 75% or 65%
It’s ridiculously stupid, spending time to get these keys during vault event and then you get this.
I wish they spend their time on fixing things that matter in this game before adding new things.
The list is listed several times on things that need fixing and work on. Unfortunately it is been ignored
Believe it or not, the Cedric drop rate is only ~10%. That’s based on my personal tracking last year of 1,000+ vault keys.
But, yeah, I agree, it feels like it’s much greater. And frankly, 10% is far too high.
That and minor traitstones are the gnomes’ way of giving us the …….”you’re Number 1” sign.

I have over 2600 cedrics just sitting there, i agree with your post its ridiculous. All the troops ahould be taken out really and be put into chests. The rewards have been heavily diluted
In 15 keys in a row I ended up getting 11 Cedrics. Random likes to random, but it was starting to feel like something was buggy.
Anyway… curious where the drop rates are listed?
To my knowledge the vault chest drop rates aren’t listed anywhere. I collected data on Cedric drops, but even that is now somewhat outdated because the devs have revised the Tarot card rate.
Maybe we should line up our thousands of Cedric troops and have them lay siege to the dev’s office building until a revision is made?

the fun thing is that at one point, they decided to buff the drop rate to Cedric to what it is now.

Ah. Ok. That was my understanding, also. The drop rates are not published. 
Haha! I actually regret all the Cedrics I’ve disenchanted over the years. I’d love to know my total, now!
1436 Cedrics here. Would also be interesting to see how many times this has been requested over the years. I know I’ve commented on this more than once in the past. I don’t think they want to improve it. The Tarot cards seem like a blatant, purposeful pool expansion as all but one or two are completely useless.
