Kill Count At The Barrows Experiment - In Progress


Satenza

Recommended Posts

It depends on what you kill, not just how many you kill. If you kill all skeletons chances are you'll get a lot of bolt racks and few mind and chaos runes, whereas if you kill only rats most of the time you'll get a lot of death runes.

 

:x What was the point of that post? You don't know that for sure, which is why Satenza and other Tip.iters create studies in order to prove said facts. Give me a test with 300+ runs involving specifically killing only one monster down in the tunnels for different parts of the test and I may believe you. Otherwise don't post something just because you have a feeling its true (you say it like its a fact).

 

 

 

Note: I more or less agree with your statement, but its completely off-topic, and no tests that I know of have been done to prove it. Maybe a group of Tip.iters will run a few tests in the future, as it appears that this thread is heading in that direction.

 

 

 

Barrows was figured out a few weeks after it came out, these guys are just repeating facts that was confirmed then ;)

 

 

 

I'll send in a query if you want.

 

 

 

Also to the people who said rats don't give deaths, I AFK for a 40-50 kill count with Guthans and get a few hundred deaths each time. Skeletons I'm almost positive are bolt racks, they could be bloods too.

If you say Barrows was figured out already. Then explain this to all of us Tip.iters who don't know crap

 

 

 

> Kill count's effect

 

> Order of Brothers

 

> Which monsters to kill

 

> list of loot per monster

 

> most likely barrow item

 

> Time you should take to do barrows

 

> Spell you should use

 

 

 

Ok, maybe i know that you didn't mean you knew all that. BUT don't say you know everything and barrows has been 100% reveiled JUST AFTER it came out. No real proof has been made to proove half of the stuff that i said and it's just random facts

 

 

 

"hy M4n, W00t i g0t veracs flail after using wind wave"

 

2 minutes later....

 

"hy m4n, y0u say y0u got v fl4il w1th wind wave...m3 t0!!!"

 

 

 

"s0 1t mu5t b3 7ru3!!!"

 

 

 

Then known as a fact from mmm000_cow.....

 

 

 

I rest my case

Note: members is back and i'm ready to barrows

Thanks to all who volunteered there time, hopefully we can get some accurate results here. Everyone who has been assigned a team, add there team leader in game. Tell them your progress and keep this thread bumped with how far you are to completing this task.

 

 

 

I expect this to take around a month maybe for all results to get in, and be ready for posting. Sorry to all those who came a little late in wanting a place.

 

 

 

Thank you all!

Well, here is an update of my items from barrows (With 6KC).

 

 

 

3x Guthan Helm

 

2x Guthan Skirt

 

2x Veracs Brassard

 

1x Karils Coif

 

1x Torag Hammer

 

 

 

This is all from less than 1 week of barrows.

 

Lucky S.O.B. :P (especially all that Guthans gear :shock:)

 

 

 

Does every volunteer have their data compiled already? I'd like to see how this test turned out :D (even though the smallish sample size won't grant us 'perfect' results).

[if you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or

by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.]

 

Fullmetal Alchemist, you will be missed. A great ending to a great series.

yeah i see that some people think that we needed like at least 50 people on each one doing 1000 runs each or wahtever completely ignoring the fact that orchestrating such a test would be really stupid and nearly impossible.

 

 

 

i hope the results are revealing (considering the "lack of sample size")

But they are right, such a small sample size for this test can yeild a significant percentage of error, but I'm hoping that we can get a basic idea of how much Kill count helps one's odds, if at all (I'm still not fully convinced that it increases one's luck at the Barrows, but that what we have these tests for :P ).

Thanks, firegizmoguy! :)

 

 

 

I have recorded it now, so you can remove it again.

 

 

 

Need the other 6 kc results, too. Please pm me.

You're accusing me of bigotry, how ironic. It's a nice attempt at argument, but your responses are facile and asinine, if not diatribe. Who's arrogant now?

With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.

Hee hee, Valor doesn't have excel. We can ask someone else to total up the numbers no problem.

 

 

 

Edit: My computer may be getting wped because its broken, and I get a new one. So my result data will be gone! Thank god someone offered to help me with my runs.

Theres all mine... Barrows truly hates me... :cry:

 

Eh, that ain't too bad. 2 items in 50 trips, and a lot of half keys (it seems like the monsters in the tunnels like you, but the Bro's don't :P ). 1:25 is below average, but with a 50 trip sample I'm sure it will balance out to 1:15 or so soon.
