While this is a super super super small test size but the drops look to be 120% which shouldn't be possible. Anyone else get something weord like this?
(Drops only say there is a chance of 1 drop per battle)

    Yeah, I just got 5/5 so it's not doubling.

    yeah it is, but that doesn't change that its weird I got a 6th drop from 5 battles. normally the bonuses are about 2-4% drop per energy meaning 32-64% drop each battle. but that still wouldn't explain me getting 6 in battles

    Mathematically (I could be wrong), doesn’t that mean there’s an extremely improbably chance you can get 1 blueprint per 1 point of energy spent? So there would be a microscopic chance you can get 16 blueprints for spending 16 energy? Maybe you beat the odds on this one.

    I bet you won't get any shards with the next 5 battles. That would even it. Always look at the bigger picture.

    Just don’t do it during LS Geo. Too much going on so I won’t have time to read it.

    Whatever the master overlord devs at CG decide I will roll with. Just as you and 24 have done, I to now accept all they do without recourse. Praise be CG

    So it would be wise to maybe do it to coincide with DSTB? Excellent idea.

    There was one, but it was locked for some reason…

    no I just said it badly.. the node is a 16 energy node so with the 2-4% drop by energy theory that its based of off (2%*16=32% and 4%*16=64%) its only a 32-64% chance to drop each time you attempt the battle and win.
    and for CG I think the only things that have guaranteed drop rates are most events like omega battles or assault battles. everything else (as far as I know) besides the zeta daily challenge has a percent chance to drop their rewards. (and for that zeta challenge only the zetas are guaranteed to drop on the last tier, everything else is chance)

    Outrageous! Now definitely go try your luck with the packs!

    Maybe it’s connected to the number of other shards you get at the node? You got 4 Bo & 4 Jolee with the 8 Home ones. And 2 Bo & 4 Jolee gave 6 Home One.

    Seemed possible, but I gave it a try and first roll I got 2 Cara dune shards but 3 H1. Good observation, though.

    Oh. I got 4 Cara and 4 Home One, but 2 Cara has given me both 2 and 3. Maybe cos character shards are mostly accelerated, but H1 shards therefore can come at the same num or one above.

    These are bonus drops, not Galactic Chase, so I'm not sure that 3% is correct. IIRC, there was some precedent with a droprate in the past where you could get over 100%.

    I know 3% isn't correct, its just that it's the only basis I could go on since CG cant mention drop rates.

    I keep getting drops like this. Probably over 10k shard shop currency thus far during the event:
