Is there a Bias in Verse Gnome Appearances?

I am not sure if I want to cry or laugh seeing you potentially trying to do all those GAPs one day…

That’s a somewhat misleading view of “verse appearance” bias. Sure, it looks lopsided at those current numbers, but how many verses of each type have you spent over the years doing Gnome-a-Palooza?

156-to-106 looks biased. But if it’s 256-to-206? Or 1256-to-1206? Or even larger numbers because you’ve spent entire weekends playing whack-a-gnome?

That wouldn’t look nearly so “biased” to me.

So started (relatively to V4) with:
V1 = +50
V2 = +39
V3 = +32

And after a weekend of only farming, no GaP:
V1 = +44
V2 = +36
V3 = +23

Sorry to bother, but, what is GAP?

This problem is not much for me so far, as I never find gnomes , except a few doing explore runs on gnomes weekends. I can craft 2 Gnome-a-Paloozas right now, but that’s about it.

There’s your answer.

Considered my average GaPs per event are 30 played, 30 farmed, I KNOW that the numbers are even. Just gotta think average over the LONG term.

Like many things in this game, “the average” can be found with enough time and data.

For instance, If you save up vault pity keys in your mail during a vault weekend, the average of about 20 vault keys and 2 epic vault keys per palooza eventually “evens out” by the time you reach 50 vault pity keys in the mail. If you take a screenshot of your vault keys before the weekend started, you should have about 500 vault keys and 50 epic vault keys.

The above results require a lot of time invested, and I understand that it can be difficult to achieve even using sister superior/dust devil/ironhawk/ironhawk. I usually watch cooking shows or animes to make the grind more tolerable.:+1:

I found 3 verse 3, which is the one I need.

4 verse 4, which is the next one I need.

Then 12-15 of each verse 1 and 2.

OP is 100 % spot on with the title.
