I was farming Trick-or-Treat bags from the Vaettir using the Shadow Bomber build. As we know, the north group of Vaettir is made of 36 enemies and the south group is made of 24. Because of this disparity, I began to wonder if it was more efficient to kill the south group, or to rezone and farm the north group exclusively. Having nothing better to do, I recorded the drops of 50 runs in which I killed both groups. I decided to post the results here on the chance that someone might find them interesting. Also, I know 50 runs isn't going to give the most exact numbers, but it is good enough to notice general trends.
Number of bags dropped over 50 runs: 361
Bags dropped by the north group: 226
Bags dropped by the south group: 135
Average number of bags per run: 7.22
Average number of bags dropped by the north group: 4.52
Average number of bags dropped by the south group: 2.7
Percentage of my total that dropped from the north group: 62.6%
Percentage of my total that dropped from the south group: 37.4%
Experienced Drop rate: 12.03%
North group dropped better by: 91 bags, 67.41% better than the south group
So this shows that the extra 12 enemies in the north group make a measurable difference in the quantity of Trick-or-Treat bag drops. This leads me to suggest that farming the north group of Vaettir exclusively is more efficient for the time you spend farming.
Any thoughts, comments, or poorly spelled flames?
