Easter Egg Explorer Stats, 2014

updated april 13:

Yoeri's site has some predictions, unable to find anything solid on euro servers.
tso-yoeri.blogspot.com/2014/03/easter-2014.html

According to Yoeri, the unproven theory is: 55% no eggs, 33% small batch, 11% large batch, regardless of
length of search. There doesn't seem to be much difference from what I've seen regarding length. Some people
are having better luck with med/long, some with very long. Advice I've been giving is use whichever ones fit
your schedule, to minimize down time.

ALSO::: I've heard reports of the skills related to ADVENTURES bringing back eggs!
*Someone reported that they received extra eggs instead of map fragments from the skill that brings back extra map frags.
*Another player reported they got TWO sets of eggs, from an explorer that has the skill to bring back two adventures.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

According to Artillerist, here's the potential for each:
Short: 0, 5, 10
Medium 0, 10, 20
long 0, 20, 30
very long 0, 30, 50

now for the trained guys (skills with books)
Short: 0, 7, 14
Medium 0, 14, 28
long 0, 28, 43
very long 0, 43, 71

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Couldnt find any solid stats from test server about how many eggs explorers bring back
and how often. A couple of us are working on a spreadsheet to gather some %.

Want to help? Already have some stats or raw data? Please post below:
* total number of explorers sent
* for each explorer who brings back eggs, list length of search, and number of eggs

Shouldnt take us long to have some percentages.

If anyone knows if such info already exists on another server, could u please post the link for us?

16 scouts/explorers (some trained, some not) on very long searches yielded 278 Easter eggs.

I was concerned that I would be stuck on the first chain forever, but I sent 3 explorers on very long searches, with 1 of them returning with 50 eggs.

None of my explorers, enhanced or not, are bringing back eggs. Is there something wrong with me or is this Easter not working right?

11 savage scouts + 3 tavern explorers yesterday returned from very long treasure searches with 270 eggs total (all of them have only 3 manuscripts on shorten all type of searches)

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet. The Trouble-seeker explorer ability (% chance for finding two adventures) seems to work on finding eggs. Just had an explorer with 3/3 Trouble-seeker and 3/3 Sturdy Shovel come back with 2 stacks of 43 eggs in one search.

Some guildies have said they are not getting eggs and so I think this needs to be looked at because the TO isn't moving.

This is consistent with my experiences as well. I had 300 eggs returned last night. Didn't see how many returned today due to maintenance.

I'm seeing good returns, but not as high as 20'ish eggs per. Mine are somewhere in the 15-18 eggs per explorer average daily overall return rate.

average of 6 returning explorers per day due to varying lengths... havent had a day with more than 1 bringing back eggs ... oh half of explorers are booked

Guild stats for week one

I am keeping stats for some guildmates and myself (though some members only report those that return with eggs). Copied below:

Short (60.71%)
0: 11, 5: 10, 10: 6 (14: 1)
Medium (56.63%)
0: 36, 5: 1, 10: 24, 20: 2 (14: 14, 24: 1, 28: 5)
Long (47.22%)
0: 19, 10: 2, 20: 7, 30: 1 (24: 3, 28: 1, 34: 2, 38: 1)
Very Long (53.33%)
0: 49, 30:35, 50: 12 (40: 6 , 43: 3)
Side note: I only had one return with eggs the first 5 days (was very long with 50 on day 5).

I'm not sure but I don't think that it means anything, but I could be very wrong.

I say that because I think I remember on the Christmas event, I got two stacks of presents one was 20 the other 30, on one explorer, that had NO books invested.

The trouble seeker MAY help in that fashion, but I think there's always a very small % chance that your explorer will randomly bring back double stacks of certain items. I can't help but wonder if this happened revolving around Granite also, and YES I know there's that ability that does that, but again I had no books invested at all.

So either there's a very small % chance of it happening (double stacks), or maybe it was a glitch, or as you suggest it very well could be the trouble seeker ability that helped.

Since no one has spoken up to confirm my claim yet, I'm inclined to think your right.

I got double stacks a couple times during the Christmas event, but didn't pay much attention to which explorer. This time I was on the lookout for a repeat and explanation. Trouble seeker seemed to fit.
