Psijic Ambrosia Fragment Part VI?

DoofusMax

In digging through my accumulated junk, I noticed that I have scads of the various Psijic Ambrosia recipe fragments, but Part VI is conspicuously absent and it's been months since I've assembled an Ambrosia recipe. I've bought Part VI from guild traders a few times and probably had it drop from Provisioning writs a couple of times since all my characters know the recipe, but can anyone confirm or refute the idea that the drop rate for Part VI is radically different from the other parts? It just strikes me as really odd that I'd have 10-15 of most of the other fragments, but no Part VI.

If it is more scarce, it doesn't translate to a higher sale price compared to the others. It's honestly not even worth worrying about an item that can be purchased from guild traders for around 250 gold.

I'm not trying to sell the other fragments. I assemble and hang onto the recipe. I usually give it away to new guildies, friends, or whatever. I'd just go buy it if I really wanted Part VI, but the absence piqued my curiosity on the drop rate.

I have collected them for a long time all at the same time. Saving them not buying here is what i have in bank.

Fragment 1 = 10
Fragment 2 = 10
Fragment 3 = 10
Fragment IV = 7
Fragment V = 3
Fragment VI = 4
Fragment VII = 3

So, it looks like oddly 1-3 drops the most for me followed by IV

Rarest for me is V and VII

Thanks!

@ElderSmitter Thanks. It's 3 and 6 for me, so looks like it's time to zero out everything and track it from there. The never-ending quest for data.

from what i was told by ppl who have played much longer than i have... each account will have a page that is rare to them. part of the weird rng that is built into the game. it's to get ppl to use the traders and/or buy from other players because your chances of getting them all within a timely manner on your own are slim to none. i'm not sure if i believe that or not, but it certainly does seem to be that way and i've seen them do weirder things with drop rates, so who knows? i forget what page it was for me, but it seems like after you put a few of them together, it goes to a more normal random.

my hoard in my bank. never bothered selling them. put enough together for my alts. i think i only ever gave one or two pages away when i happened to be on and ppl were asking for them:

I -64
II - 73
III - 67
IV - 53
V - 68
VI - 55
VII - 55

I have been doing daily writs on 32 characters for absolute donkeys (on 3 different accounts) and 'dumping' the fragments in a character's inventory.

After having completed the recipe around 45 times (on top of the existing 36, so really around 81 times) this is how things are looking:



It does look like fragment VI does drop less often for me but whether is statistically significant or not that I do not know.

Just for comparison, that's what i found in bank:

I - 11
II - 4
III - 9
IV - 3
V - 11
VI - 16
VII - 2
