[quote="JACKELPUP"]For no particular reason, I decided to track the deaths of 3500 Beast Lord Guardians. The results were rather interesting. This first post is the "raw data" and the following post is a statistical analysis. The number in brackets (xxx) after each drop listed is the actual kill number (easy to track because the BLG quest drops a token in your inventory each time you kill one) Just for fun 8) Jac Conti Other Players : None Session Kills : 26 Egg(2) VOD Other Players : Rare/Chewie Zyar/Mamba Session Kills : 87 VOD Other Players : Rare/Chewie VIP_OG/Kily Session Kills : 65 VOD Other Players : Pikutin Session Kills : 36 Herb(186) Herb(194) VOD Other Players : Pikutin Matthew Session Kills : 21 VOD Other Players : Matthew Sylverangel/Sandokan Session Kills : 41 Guard Amulet(257) VOD Other Players : None Session Kills : 190 Guard Amulet(309) Guard Amulet(332) Eggpile (348) Small Emerald(357) Herb (367) Golden Mushroom (388) Egg(389) Ring of Fighter (413) VOD Other Players : Chewie/Rare Magicalpa Session Kills : 119 Delight Tablet(469) Ring of Fighter(448) VOD Other Players : Matthew/Hadou Nolegs Session Kills : 300 Herb(615) Egg(679) Egg(820) Herb(829) Ring of Fighter(852) VOD Other Players : Jhaelien Yagudo Vesp Matthew Session Kills : 80 VOD Other Players : None Session Kills : 88 Herb (1025) VOD Other Players : Boby Session Kills : 20 VOD Other Players : Boby Gisado Session Kills : 34 Guard Amulet (1095) VOD Other Players : None Session Kills : 125 Guard Amulet (1138) Herb(1185) Medium Ruby (1185) Herb (1191) Ring of Fighter (1220) VOD Other Players : Rare/Chewie Session Kills : 135 Small Emerald (1260) VOD Other Players : Matthew/Ganonpk Hadou (ACVX at end) Session Kills : 72 Egg Pile (1379) VOD Other Players : Nakedman Session Kills : 106 Medium Ruby (1534) Delight Tablet (1559) Herb (1610) Egg Pile (1613) Abias Other Players : Mamba Chronos Shalo Yagudo Session Kills : 95 Herb (1583) Herb (1586) Ring of Fighter (1599) Golden Mushroom (1612) VOD Other Players : Matthew/Ganonpk Nakenman Session Kills : 66 VOD Other Players : None Session Kills : 35 Egg Pile (1707) Guard Amulet (1736) Golden Mushroom (1737) VOD Other Players : None Session Kills : 154 Small Emerald (1771) Ring of Fighter (1774) Medium Ruby (1800) VOD Other Players : Jumal Session Kills : 261 Herb (2042) Herb (2105) Golden Mushroom (2115) VOD Other Players : Rare/Chewie Session Kills : 133 Ring of Fighter (2211) VOD Other Players : Rare Session Kills : 25 VOD Other Players : None Session Kills : 60 Ring of Fighter (2315) Guard Amulet (2316) Medium Ruby (2349) VOD Other Players : Nakedman Session Kills : 30 VOD Other Players : None Session Kills : 50 Ring of Fighter (2430) Guard Amulet (2431) VOD Other Players : Jumal Session Kills : 75 VOD Other Players : None Session Kills : 130 Ring of Fighter (2656) Golden Mushroom (2668) Herb (2717) Herb (2742) VOD Other Players : Nakedman then Chewie Session Kills : 125 Guard Amulet (2798) VOD Other Players : None Session Kills : 63 Guard Amulet (2880) Golden Mushroom (2924) VOD Other Players : Chewie Kily/VIP-OG Session Kills : 81 Small Emerald (3054) Small Emerald (3062) Egg (3095) VOD Other Players : Chewie Rare Session Kills : 29 VOD Other Players : None Session Kills : 61 Guard Amulet (3057) Medium Ruby (3081) Abias Other Players : Varied: Mickyc, Mamba/OCD, Jumal, Zyar.
