I wasn't sure if I should post this in the RNG thread or not, but I thought this was such an extreme statistical anomaly that I felt compelled to post it in general. Feel free to relocate it if you disagree.
Straight to the point then. I was crafting wands on the PTR for fun and this is what my inventory looked like after 20 crafts: http://i.imgur.com/IZ50DA2.jpg
1/4 wands were wohs. I made about 60 more wands after that just to see and I got 3 more, 1/20. In total 1/10 were wohs. Ofcourse this is far too few crafts to get a good picture, but I thought that even with 80 crafts 1/10 WoHs were extremely high/extremely unlikely. Which is why I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a wand of woh drop/craft rate is increased in 2.4.2? Or have I just exhausted all the luck I've been saving up for S7?
When is usually the glorious bloodshard/drop/craft rate spreadsheet made public?
Last season I couldn't get one to save my life but was able to get a few with my Barbarian but this season it has rained ancient woh's from the second day onwards so go figure. But they really needed to buff the drop rate what with all these youtube videos showing off all these builds but then needing an eternity to find certain items. I never saw the point in having so many different drop rates as it would just frustrate people into moving on.
Btw i've been crafting wands to get Ancient Unstable Scepter and guess what.. None in 200 wands lul. And i got like 15 non-ancient crappy ones.
You've actually risen an interesting question for me, although maybe a noobish one: What is the most effective way to farm an ANCIENT weapon? Upgrading Rares or Reforging with Bounty mats? to me bounty farming seems more time consuming, but at the same, upgrading rares has given me no results with quite a big number of upgrades made for Wand of Woh, Twister Sword and Soul Harvester....Still no ancient after all these months.
Best results are from reforging. But this is very time consuming for bounty mats and extremely draining for forgotten souls.
However i remember reforging my Dagger of Darts 50 times and i wasted 2500 souls for crappy result. Still it was better, since i never got a 3100 dagger of darts for all 4 years

Hey the PTR has increased drop rates in general it may well just be due to that...

Not really. Just RNG
I crafted 200 wands yesterday and only 3 were non-ancient shitty WOHs

Okay, just RNG then. Thanks for response.
