Meticulous Disassembly

Cross-posting this here since a majority of players don't look at the PTS subforum.

Meticulous Disassembly seems to work as follows, now that it's finally "fixed" on the PTS.

When you are at 0/3, 1/3 or 2/3 in your deconstruction/refining passive, it adds 1 level to the passive (so 1/3 becomes 2/3)

When at 3/3 in the passive + Meticulous Disassembly star slotted = Old drop rates + approximately 12.5% (best guess as of right now) for improvement materials gotten from refining.

    With the patch live. I will be keeping track of my personal refining and updating the data in my other mega-spreadsheet that I have

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yQDUjYNQVsIFl0ktkbkSlfYPkzP6pgCOTMQ-qCuzfaI/edit#gid=1892397659

    link to the specific page.

    I have added in the percentile ranks and some simple analysis of what the drop rates appear to be. As more data is collected, these numbers will change and we should be able to narrow down the effects that Meticulous Disassembly has on refining rates.

    I am assuming that anybody refining is at 3/3 in the passives AND slotting Meticulous Disassembly.

    MA also seems to affect improvement material drops from deconstructing gear. I am NOT tracking this (already track enough... lol), but anecdotally, it seems to be true.

    To be clear: You mean the expected drop rate w/ Meticulous Disassembly is about 9/8 of what it would otherwise be?

    Yes, that is correct.

    Instead of 15/12.5/7.5/5 % drop rate per refine

    It's about 16.9/14.1/8.4/5.6 % drop rate (1.125 or 9/8 of the base rate)
