Sweating experiment: Does the Mob type or maturity affect the chance of success at sweating?

[Spawn]

How much time is 5 attempts?

[Oleg]

Edited my maths above, average per pull is 12, not 11

I don't know about the timing but I'd guess 5 attempts would take approximately one minute.

Guess we can use this and the market value of sweat to calculate the hourly income of sweating vs depositing paper round money :p

I guess if we wanted to answer, or re-answer, all questions about sweating we would need a very large dats set with;

skill, mob, place, time taken, pull/sucess, sucess/attempt

suddenly my passion for creating such an extensive data set is waning

I don't need an experiment to know which of those earns more

One of the last updates screwed Nea's up pretty good. Before the update i got around 600 per hour and on time also 800. After the update both numbers dropped by almost 200.

Ambus give an average of 12 sweat per success, same as they used to, same as every other mob.

The one thing that may have changed is the number of successful pulls its possible to get from one ambu - as their health went up, I would think the number of pulls went up too.

The behavior of ambus was changed also. They are more agressive, before I was able to sweat sometimes over an hour without being killed.

Looks like an interesting experiment

afaik the two phases of sweating take each 6 seconds, so in practice you get about 500 bottles per hour if you do not die too often. This would be about 0.25$ per hour, so definitively no replacement for a "real" job ;-). On average there should be nearly one successfull attempt per minute.

I thnk that the maturity simply means more sweat pulls.

From a Snable male young you get 1 pull, no matter the size(sometimes 2 but rarely)

From Snable Male Old you get 3 or 4 pulls, again at random amounts.


Im not sure if there is a set amount of sweat or pulls, but it sure does seem to me that its based upon successful pulls. Perhaps this is anther MA division where the skill either only affects the amounts you get or the chance to get.

Im no sweating master, just offering 2 cents..
