#armory drop rate problem

So I made the same post months ago and also discussed the same with players in September last year. No one seemed to believe me so I took progress shots. (3 months ago vs now)

Note: I have the ascendance bage or whatever its called which gives +10% drop chance.

Today I found my first armory in months because I unlocked a new armory item in the village and I think it guarantees the shield drop after purchase. Proof: see slayer chips spent go from 188->268.

Anyway I made the post earlier about using badge boosts 6 times and item still not dropping. I think something broke in my game when I transferred from android to iOS in July 2023 and have been facing this armory issue since. I’ve done the redownload assets, uninstall, restore purchase etc. all that stuff hasn’t helped.

To put it in context, I’ve been stuck at the Albert mission since September last year and have not been able to unlock extreme quests for more than 3 months at this point. (I even UA’d thinking it would fix the armory issue)

I open the game every 3-4 days, do the bonus stage and log off. If you’re going to say bad luck, how do you explain 0 armories in 25 stages, when the drop chance is 14%? I should have at least 3 armories.

Note to anyone responding: If you’re going to say “unlucky”, save it, I don’t need to hear it. I’ve been hearing it for a year. I’m looking for solutions that will help me progress the missions.

Note to dev(s) if they ever read this in a millenia: Please add bad luck protection because it still is entirely possible that I deserve an award for low-rolling to this extent.

There is no bug. Try #1171812283337424918

While you're there, you should clarify which item you're thinking about, there is no item or buff with that effect. The closest is this, which you do not currently have active.

Further, you can complete the quest with Armory Items that aren't swords. (referring to the quest that requires that you acquire 2 Armory Items, not the side quest involving Albert.)

  1. that's not how probability works
  2. assuming the 14% and 0 armories in 25 stages , the chance of this happening is (0.86)^25 (the chance you don't get an item to the power of the times this happened) which is 0,02303 or ~2,3%

note: i did not do this to say RNGIssue , but to explain that that is something completely plausible

# fierce rampart ``` If you’re going to say bad luck, how do you explain 0 armories in 25 stages,...

If you’re about the math, the past 25 stages are what I have proof of…its been like that for probably 100 stages. You can dig up my post from a long time ago if you like. Anyway, I’d suggested adding bad luck protection back then (if this wasn’t a bug). As usual the devs get too many posts, and my post probably got buried.

Note: I will keep monitoring. The problem with your math is that even after 100 stages, you could still there theres a 0.00002% chance, which means it could happen. And thats stupid.

the think is the game has many players, lets take for now the discord members only (47k).
a 2% chance amongst 47000 people is not something unusual
the 0.000028% chance amongst 47000 people__ is__ something unusual (its ~ 1 in 5 million)
the downloads for idle slayer on the play store are 5mil+ as listed by play store it self
so now the 0.000028% chance is amongst 5mil people and that is not unusual, unlikely yes but still probable

When there are multiple people who can get 500 JoS on their 1st spin of the slots, there will be people who get insanely bad luck

okay doke
very good item, massive increase in money (in essence, all it does)
It does three one thing, but it's very good at it.

it also does not give 100% shield drop rate from chest hunts (the only place you can get regular shields in the 1st place)

What bonus stage are you playing 1 2 or 3

So...

  1. Low number of attempts - you've done 25 bonus stages in three months.

  2. Ascendant Badge Boost increases it to 70-74%. A very solid increase, and you very surely have the materials to have that going at all times.

  3. The Albert mission is a side quest and is not necessary for progress.

  4. The Quest "Armory Build Up" does not require that the Armory Item obtained is a Sword. You can craft one of the ones available in the Temporary Crafts menu. (You've completed at least 1 Weekly Quest by now, right?)

  5. You did get 1 item and broke it. adrian

1 and 2, see this post from some time ago. I’ve also complained about this ever since I changed devices and I’m certain that something broke my game when transferring. https://discord.com/channels/724614126780809337/1199743695738642563

  1. Nope, weekly quest is too big, don’t play that often and looks like I’ll be quitting soon at this rate. Also I don’t see a craftable armory recipe yet :/

  2. I broke a different item, not the shield :p

... yeah I know about the post, I just linked it directly above. I also told you the same things back then.

#

If you did a weekly quest you would see ||three new Craftable Armory Items||. If any of them are doable for a player that rarely logs on, the Rage one can be done in just a few minutes.
Since you log in so rarely, it would be safe to assume that you have a healthy supply of staff and Rage materials. Just use the staves and spam Rage until it's done. Portal to the Mystic Valley if you need to.
The Portal one can also be done in a few minutes if you're okay with spending Dragon Scales to repeatedly craft Village Keys.
Daily Weekly only requires a few minutes on some days, at the most. The only one that would be out of your reach is the chest hunt weekly.

There are solutions abound.

Also, just checked. Key Armory Items do not count for the Armory Items Found stat.

43 - 30 = 13
You can see them on the left. Neither of the two key items are equipped.

#

... so this was all based on that you got no swords.
But you got one. And broke one.
great, problem solved. worrythumbsup
