It would be nice if explore mode had a 0% chance of dropping major traitstones. God knows we have an overabundance of those already.

Interesting… about 4.7% if you add arcane and celestial together.
1/19 (ish) is what I’ve seen (combining arcane and celestials), however, I’ve had nights were I get 1 arcane and all celestials (plus the chaff)… those experiences hurt.

Isn’t that virtually the exact same as normal mode…?
That is the exact same data as normal mode. Is explore broken?.. @Sirrian @Nimhain
Runic should be around 15% (which this data is near), Arcanes 8-9%, and Celestial 3% if it was 2x, 3x, 3x
If it’s broken it’s been that way for a while. That sample took me a couple of weeks.
It is, 7.35% + 9.93% = 17.28%.
Also, we don’t actually know the drop rates for Arcanes/Celestials, but that example is incredibly low compared to how often I get Arcanes. I’ve gotten at least one Arcane every 20-25 battles at worst and have even gotten them twice in a row 2-3 times now.
I’m calling bad luck on this sample. Pray to the RNG god, Cthyryzyx!
(If I see an RNJesus post response I’m crucifying a cat.)

Drop rates on normal challenges:
Celestial 1%
Arcane 2%
Relic 9%
Major 29%
Minor 59%
Assuming Relic x2, Arcane x3, Celestial x3 gives us Celestial 3%, Arcane 6%, and Relic 18%
That is 27%, leaving 73%. Assuming the ratio of minor to major remains constant, the projected explore rates would be
Celestial 3%
Arcane 6%
Relic 18%
Major 24%
Minor 49%
Your results were, when rounded
Celestial 1%
Arcane 4%
Runic 17%
Major 24%
Minor 54%
Your celestial was a bit low, arcanes a tad low, minor a tad high, but certainly close.

Does exploring on higher difficulty matter?
Only in terms of gold and souls (and xp?)
Difficulty has no effect on Traitstone drop rates in any game mode.

Pre 1.9 means that at the time there was a chance to get nothing which i think no one accounted for when calculating drop rates which brings us to our current drop rates seeming unchanged.
Everyone accounted for them. I’m not sure why you’d think otherwise.
Every report I ever saw back then started with: “When traitstones do drop…”

Just checked the drop rates to be absolutely certain… Explore is working correctly. That sample has an unusually low number of Arcanes & a slightly lower-than-expected number of Celestials

I have been hitting Pridelands mostly when doing my Daily Tasks (Console player) and I have a large sample of 2257 games that has a pretty close comparison to the stated drop rates by the development team.
I can take any sequencial chunk, even 1000, and the drop rates will be high or low.
Random plays tricks with the mind. It’s not TRUELY random in the sense that, over time, you get what ratios the developers set into the game.

Thats about 6.2% over the total right now, or about 1 in 16.1. Projected based on community estimated drops from challenges and past experience (1 in 50, not 1 in 30) and multiplied by 3 would have been a 6% drop rate, and I figure the actual is pretty close to that, as my sets contain more streaks than droughts.
