Why dont we get any odds for standard tokens?

I'd like to have it anyways.

    83/15/2/negligible. Roughly.

    I've always worked under the assumption that the odds were split in 6ths.
    So Heroics are ~5/6, 2*.. and the remaining 1/6 is split between 3* and 4* in the same 5/6 : 1/6 ratio.
    So in a heroic pack
    ~83.3% 2* (5/6 draws)
    ~13.9% 3* (5/36 draws)
    ~2.7% 4* (1/36 draws)

    I have been assuming that standards take that same ratio and shift them over another 1/6.
    ~83.3% 1* (5/6 draws)
    ~13.9% 2* (5/36 draws)
    ~2.3% 3* (5/216 draws)
    ~0.5% 4* (1/216 draws)

    I'm not sure if my assumptions are completely accurate, but that's the model I've been using when I try to estimate how unlikely it is that I draw something trainable.

    They just changed the 3* rates for Heroics, but it was/is 2.3% for a 4% (source: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26828&p=326895#p326895)

    As for the standards, your idea is in the realm of possiblity. They're at about 26k user recorded (i'm assuming the 5/8 distinction is when hero points were removed), and while 1*/3* rates look right, 2* is at 14.4 and 4* .0002. That's what I based it on, given we have no other data on the subject and it's strangely a huge mystery what they actually are.

    I know other than when I first started (and way before I started tracking), I pulled a 4* once or twice. I haven't pulled one from a standard since I started tracking, which is going on 10 months and well over 1000 standards.

    At .5%, the chance that I'd have zero 4* in exactly 1000 pulls is less than 1%. At .02%, the chance that I'd have zero pulls is almost 82%. That's strong enough evidence for me that the user collected is closer to the correct answer.
  • The actual answer is they're too low to mathematically register so get rounded down to 0. (for anything you actually want)

    I just see them as 100 iso tokens and if I get anything better its just a bonus. I get a gold from a standard about once a month and a useful cover from them about twice a year.

    Over 2972 standard tokens I've recorded the following:

    1* 2488 (83.71%)
    2* 426 (14.33%)
    3* 58 (1.95%)
    4* 0 (0%)

    Sample size is large enough that I think those should be fairly accurate. I've heard people claim to get 4* from SRT but I've yet to see one

    *in terms of ISO you can assume its roughly 129 per SRT.

    I can confirm you can get 4* draws from standard tokens. I can't recall exactly how many but at least 2 of my x-force covers came from standard tokens, and I think I got closer to 4. I also got one of my Invisible Woman from standards.
