I would love to see the PP's with at least one decimal place to get a more accurate picture of the PPs needed for each new mythic.I would love to see an "optimal" model that suggests mythics hit before turning to orbs and jewels to finish the set. I am not the math guy for that job
Spagooter said: Lucky to get a mythic? Hell, how about a rare?!? My last pp only had the guaranteed rare. Pretty disappointing when you grind away for crystals for what seems forever. They need to bump up the exchange rate. 100 for a rare is way too low. 500 for a mythic is pretty low too.

I am not the math guy for that job I tried the Quote button and ended up inside the quote somehow and I have no clue how to get the cursor to go outside of the quote, so oh well, I'll just answer it here. The PP's are median numbers not average so there are no decimal places. Average does not work because the data will be skewed by people like me who has terrible luck (1 mythic pull in 6 tries)As for an "optimal" model, now that we no longer get duplicates from Mythic+ Elite Packs, it really all depends on how many jewels you can hoard. You've had quite a streak lately and if you continue that, it's possible to receive 2400 jewels a month (1000 from AX and ToTP, 240 from JTH and 1200 +/- from coalition events). As for orbs, I'm on pace to get 12,000 orbs for the month of August but 15,000 is probably doable. 2400 jewels and 15,000 orbs, that means you can get 8 guaranteed Mythic/MP cards a month once we are able to craft M19. If you wait two months, it could be as much as 16 guaranteed. So if you can hold off for the next two months and only open M19 PPs and hope to get at least 4 new mythics, then you'll get it for sure (along with 2 - 4 MPs perhaps). The only problem is with all these other players showing off their Blue Sun Zenith and Plague Wind pulls, it's very hard to be disciplined and lay off from the elite packs. //Fixed quote bug -Brigby

Volrak said: Tyrannicide said: Oh, so 3 mythics in 20 pp wasn't bad? This is honestly disgusting. No, it was bad.(Using published drop rates) For an average group of 100 players who each opened 20 M19 PPs, you will find that 15 of them got 6 mythics from those packs, and another 15 got 7 mythics. These are the most common outcomes; for other numbers of mythics, both higher and lower, you will find fewer people in the group who opened that number. You could say hello to 5 of them who got only 3 mythics, the same as you (or just 4 others, if you are one of them), and commiserate with a further 3 despondent souls who got even fewer.
I am at 19 premium packs in a row without mythics. 12 DOM and 7 M19.
Last Mythic I got in a premium pack was on DOM release day the 23rd of May. 3 months ago.............
