Archeology Activity: combine caravan map frag drops for jewels and gems - SteveForge - 02-23-2015
Stats gathered from the previous Archeology Activity:
1) Purchase costs of Map fragments follow 3n progression (Cost = 3g, 6g, 9g, 12g, etc..). Game notice claims 50 quota can be purchased each day, making the last quota cost 150g.
2) Sending caravans has a random map frag drop rate of 25%. (95%C.I. is 22.1% to 27.4%)
3) Map frag colors are randomly assigned (VIP and Assembly level do NOT influence distribution).
45%, 30%, 15%, 9%, 1%, and 0% for White, Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, and Purple frags respectively.
4) Jewel rewards from a Prepared Archeology Activity is determined by your map frag's color.
0, 4, 8, 12, 20, and 30 jewels for the White, Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, and Purple frags respectively.
5) Gem rewards from a Prepared Archeology Activity is determined by the sum of maps in your 3 person group.GEMS = 11+2B+4G+10Y+24R+50P
6) Selling frags is possible, though the dracs are low and inadvisable unless you're selling white quota just to get a new map type (I, II, or III). 4k dracs, 6k, 8k, 16k, 32k, and 64k for W,B,G,Y,R,P respectively.
There is no bonus for any particular sequence or combination. Map drop rates, color distribution rates, and map gem/jewel values means each caravan sent during activity should net 0.92 Jewels + 18.0 gems. If you get 12 caravans a day, that's 11.0 jewels +215.7 gems per day.
Jewels gained by using the 5g color upgrade results in the following cost:
White = 1.25 gold/jewel
Blue = 1.25 gold/jewel
Green = 1.25 gold/jewel
Yellow = 0.625 gold/jewel
Red = 0.50 gold/jewel
(Purple can not be upgraded)
Always upgrade yellow and red map frags to purple.
(White, blue, and green are also on par with the best deals in the Bazaar.)
