Talk:Data miner

is it just my bad luck or compressed data is a really rare drop? Just spent the turns on 2 of my alts and only managed to have 1 drop, and was with a modifier message.~is there a trick to get this to drop? Patojonas 04:56, 2 October 2012 (PDT)

It does indeed have a low rate. Cristiona 19:53, 2 October 2012 (PDT)

S.M.A.R.T tells me the following: -Your opponent has more health than you do. -Your opponent is going to be hard pressed to get through your defenses.My stats: Strength: 98 (80) Intellect: 46 (43) Reflexes: 37 (31) HP: 57/153 PP: 75/90

Also, I haven't got any compressed data so far, even though I've got a lot of the other items like datamites and statue eyes. I've even got four mouse fangs.

It's really weird! I haven't been getting any of those compressed data, and just now, I got three in a few turns!

Drop Rate Spadings

Drop data from a total of 875 encounters:

• 134 picks (15.3% ± 2.4%)
• compressed data (stolen from here):

	No drops	One drop	Two drops
Observed	97.1 ± 1.1%	2.7 ± 1.1%	0.1 ± 0.2%
Predicted 2%-1%	97.02%	2.96%	0.02%

1.5% also works nice, but unless told so I'm assuming drop rates make use of natural numbers only. Patojonas 11:22, 7 October 2012 (PDT)
