Talk:Ankh of Badahnkadh

Drop Rate

I used 3. "You acquire 1 pile of ancient spice. You acquire 1 pile of powdered organs. You acquire 1 Ankhs of Badahnkadh."--Snkendall3 13:25, 9 February 2008 (CST)

No offense, intended, but this isn't helpful. There's plenty of reliable data on the drop rate, and such a small sample, with a huge self-selection bias, isn't helpful at all. --Starwed 14:40, 9 February 2008 (CST)

I used 243. You acquire 113 piles of ancient spice You acquire 125 piles of powdered organs You acquire 5 Ankhs of Badahnkadh -Lrdwhyt 21:09, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

I used 244 of them at 1 time: You acquire 135 piles of ancient spice You acquire 105 piles of powdered organs You acquire 4 Ankhs of Badahnkadh -Lrdwhyt 17:03, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

I had 210 and used them in batches of 25, last batch of 35. First and second batches received Ankhs, but after that, no luck. - kayrah

I used 4

You acquire 3 piles of powdered organs

You acquire an item: Ankh of Badahnkadh I would suppose drop rate is around.....1-3%?--Sentinelzm 07:25, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

I used 50

You acquire 21 piles of ancient spice You acquire 29 piles of powdered organs

I used 50 of these.

You acquire 25 piles of ancient spice You acquire 24 piles of powdered organs You acquire an item: Ankh of Badahnkadh

People, add data!

Maybe drop rate is affected by class? I'm a pastamancer and i got it on my first use of a jar. --CaptainMorgan 08:43, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

I would estimate that the drop rate is about 5%, based on my early use of them (before the price exploded). Once the price drops down, (And it will: the drop rate is high, and in a mandatory quest zone), I'll try and gather some more data. --Starwed 21:29, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

Just used 10 jars: 5 spice, 5 organs. Gront 00:54, 8 July 2007 (CDT)

I used well over 50 in small batches, but still no Ankh. I'd say it's closer to a 1% chance. Definitely not 5%. --xcorvis 15:07, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

I used 154, in batches of 10 and got 65 ancient spices, 69 powdered organs, 0 ankhs. Could it be possible that using larger batches could be the key to obtaining an ankh? or a ten-leaf clover? --Falconinthedive 18:31, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

I used a few (9) with a clover in my inventory, but no ankh. --xcorvis 09:02, 23 July 2007 (CDT)

I used 57 in one batch. 28 piles of ancient spice, 29 piles of powdered organs. --rholliday 14:29, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

I got one on my first try as an AT. Probably just luck. - Wisdom is Power

Yeah, I guess the RNG loved me tonite, 'cuz I got one on my first try (ever) as well. --Sir Clement the Meek 21:54, 25 July 2007 (CDT)

I used 5 in one batch. 2 piles of ancient spice, 2 piles of powdered organs, 1 Ankh of Badahnkadh. This was as a Sauceror, level 15, never ascended. --Rowl 09:57, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

Hmmm... Seal Clubber, First Time, Second Acsencion. --Amitabho 01:53, 27 July 2007 (CDT)

• I used 73 in one shot. You acquire 34 piles of ancient spice; You acquire 38 piles of powdered organs; You acquire an item: Ankh of Badahnkadh. This as a level 17 Sauceror, after breaking the king, second NS13 ascension. Xtanstic 01:45, 28 July 2007 (CDT)

I used 4 and got 2 piles of ancient spice, 1 powdered organs, and 1 Ankh of Badahnkadh. I'm a level 15 DB. --Girlina

I used 300 first batch was 50, 24 powder organs, 26 ancient spice, second batch I used the rest: 134 ancient spice, 116 powdered organs. i guess im not loved -Whitemage 11:59, 3 August 2007 (CDT)

Also used 25 in one go. 7 ancient spices, 17 powdered organs, and 1 ankh. This is after the twenty or so jars I'd used previously in groups of fours and threes in the past couple of days, though, so it wasn't my first try by any means.--Yubi Shines 14:37, 4 August 2007 (CDT)

Used 21 Jars (individually), got 1 Anhk, 8 spice, 12 organs. --Monsieur 16:33, 7 August 2007 (CDT)

I used around 100 and got my first one, after that I've used over 400 and no second one. --Bladejtr 04:52, 8 August 2007 (CDT)

Hellion at talk:canopic jar states that they used 1400, and got 12 ankhs. Sounds like a 1% chance to me. --Starwed 05:19, 8 August 2007 (CDT)

I used 5 jars... You acquire 3 piles of ancient spice You acquire an item: powdered organs You acquire an item: Ankh of Badahnkadh

I'm a Saucerer. Maybe it's more likely to drop for Myst classes as the item increases spell damagae. Or is that too complex? Adite 04:29, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

Sauceror.
300: 146 piles of ancient spice / 148 piles of powdered organs / 6 Ankhs of Badahnkadh
100: 48 piles of ancient spice / 52 piles of powdered organs
234: 115 piles of ancient spice / 118 piles of powdered organs / 1 Ankh of Badahnkadh
--rholliday 13:12, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

I used 3 jars as a disco bandit 1 ankh 1 spice 1 organs glebs 18:19, 06 September 2007 (EST)

Someone please compile this data into a table. --CG1:t,c,e 18:11, 6 September 2007 (CDT)

Pastamancer (lev. 14): 29: 11 piles of ancient spice / 17 piles of powdered organs / 1 Ankh of Badahnkadh --Grammar nazi 11:59, 16 September 2007 (CDT)

I removed all data with less than 50 jars used, to reduce the observation bias. Here's your badly formatted table. 1% seems right --Magrovsky 18:41, 18 September 2007 (CDT)

With 3865 trials, that is .84% +/- .29%. (2 standard deviations.) I'd be pretty comfortable just saying that it's a 1% chance. --Starwed 13:14, 20 September 2007 (CDT)

You acquire 99 piles of ancient spice

You acquire 99 piles of powdered organs

You acquire 2 Ankhs of Badahnkadh

Yeah. I think it's 1%. --Desertmagic 21:25, 23 September 2007 (CDT)

Could they possibly be getting more frequent, or is it just me? I've found three in the last week, two on one account and one on another, on top of the one I found originally. The net jars I used can't be more than a hundred. Just a thought.--Yubi Shines 16:43, 2 November 2007 (CDT)

• Pure RNG. from data from using a total of 3845 jars, I would say that a data sample of only 3 is extremely prone to RNG screwage. --CG1:t,c,e 16:56, 2 November 2007 (CDT)
• With a real rate of 1%, an observed rate of 3% in 100 trials is about two standard deviations away: unlikely, but bound to happen to some people. --Starwed 09:04, 5 November 2007 (CST)

Using 9 canopic jar... You acquire 6 piles of ancient spice / You acquire 2 piles of powdered organs / You acquire an item: Ankh of Badahnkadh / Finished using 9 canopic jar. --Dossy 16:13, 12 November 2007 (CST)

You acquire 17 piles of ancient spice [cook] You acquire 20 piles of powdered organs You acquire an item: Ankh of Badahnkadh

I think I used like 36 or so.

Sign your posts. Also, the last two Bad Moon runs I've done, I got one within the first 5 I opened. This time I'm a DB, last time I was a Sauceror. Maybe they got more likely, maybe there's a Bad Moon bonus, maybe I'm lucky. --NoHassles 20:00, 17 November 2007 (CST)

I removed my data from the table because both of my findings used less than 50 jars. Don't you think, though, that by ignoring findings in less than 50 jars you're ignoring a significant amount of data? You can't keep attributing 1 ankh in 3 jars to 'bound to happen with some people'. --NoHassles 20:06, 17 November 2007 (CST)

I'd suggest keeping it in. Your small sample plus everybody else's small (and big) samples = a sample likely to produce useful information. That's the way statistics works. Medical studies collect data from one person at a time. Each person contributes their uniqueness to the collective. :^) -- Arioso 17:46, 20 December 2007 (CST)

..Actually, no, I guess I understand why you do that. My bad. Still, though. Maybe it's more likely the less you've already used. --NoHassles 20:26, 17 November 2007 (CST)

Using 316 canopic jar... You acquire 164 piles of ancient spice You acquire 143 piles of powdered organs You acquire 9 Ankhs of Badahnkadh --Veistran 11:55, 18 November 2007 (CST)

Just a thought on the spading. If you only add results after using some jars and getting some Ankhs, that adds a definite slant to the information. To get an accurate reading, all uses, Ankh-yielding or not, should be used. Also, the chance has already been whittled down fairly accurately. --TechSmurf 22:29, 18 November 2007 (CST)

A project just undertaken by Invariel and myself yielded almost identical results to the stats above and verified that there is no difference between single- and multi-using jars and that there is no difference based on character class. A total of 3000 jars were used across 6 characters (one of each class), each character multi-used 250 and single-used 250. The results were as follows:--Yiab 23:08, 21 January 2008 (CST)

Class	Single/Multi	spices	organs	ankhs
AT	Multi	113	133	4
	Single	140	110	0

2 wads means power: 160 - 175. --Valliant 03:30, 12 August 2008 (CDT)

Wasn't this listed in-game as a +5% SD item until recently? I distinctly remember searching it in the mall several times only to be disappointed to find it was 5% rather than 25%. Yet I'm looking at it again now and it seems to be at 25% again. Odd. --Noogles 22:40, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
