So I was farming the pieces on my baby fix today and thought I would share some information with you guys.
Time Spent : 24 minutes
Pieces Gathered:
tubes: 13
circuits: 4
conductors: 4
crystals: 3
scraps: 5
biotech: 5
lamp: 1
tetrahedral: 2
Total Pieces Gathered: 37
I killed mechdogs outside of rome blue for the pieces. I started off solo on a level 40 neutral fixer. After about 10 minutes I had every piece except the tetrahedral (only about 7 repeats at this point). Around the 15 minute mark i received help from a level 160 froob fixer, my own killing slowed down as i spent much more time tallying
I think that the droprate of tubes has been increased beyond the other pieces. I imagine this is to help make the fixer grid quest easier. Obviously more drops would be better proof statistically speaking, but even at 37, the fact that it got triple the rate of other pieces I think says something.
Oh, the tetrahedral was my last piece, but I got a double drop at the end. Anyways, cool change FC, even if my pads dont have as much epeen
EDIT: I shouldn't say that actually, it wasnt a double drop, 2 mechdogs just died really quickly and they eached drop it.
