General Black maps

[Strato]

Over the weekend I flew black maps in order to get S3 planes. I did it until I get 6 drops from each destination. All flights were with golden dice active. Here is my stats:
for turbo prop - 64 (9.4%), 101 (5.9%), 43 (14.0%), 65 (9.2%), 64 (9.4%) - total 337 flights - 8.9% drop rate
for jet - 59 (10.2%), 59 (10.2%), 50 (12.0%), 64 (9.4%), 122 (4.9%) - total 354 flights - 8.5 drop rate

In total 2 blacks planes ans 12 mystery super bonuses required 691 flights with drop rate 8.7%.

One more observation: when GD was combined with sky captain the drop rate was reduced significantly (after 1 drop out of 50 flights I decided to wait until sky captain is done).

Hope this help someone to plan.

... and the question is....is this drop rate good enough for black maps? is there any way to improve it?

And don't forget, those planes count for alliance flight calculations.

I got between 8 and 11% while flying alliance maps (black maps) - so your drop rate looks pretty accurate. I used GD, and yes, when I combined sky captain, it dropped significantly.

Thanks @Strato for those figures !!
Really good to know !

For TP destinations I did 368 flights and got 25 items at 6.79% with SC and GD active. I am inclined to believe your results @Strato because for PPD I got 6 drops of each with less flights and only GD active.

TO EVERYONE NOTE: ONLY ACTIVATE GD!

Do you guys know what is drop rate without bonuses?

 

[OneGoldenHeart]

I did my first map run to LaPaz 50 flight and had 1 drop without any bonus.

Oh, that hurts.

Thats why people use bonuses! But it will also be less as you havent starred it yet. Drops improve after 1*, and lot more after 2 and 3*. So dont take is as that bad.

If you want good result with alliance maps do the 2500 flights with GD and SC in 1 day then you will get a lot of drop

Like! But surely impossible with 100 item limit?

Even more without SC...

 

[Tiến]

Even more without SC...

You know what Gi must give players with limited storage only a special offers big discount to buy bonuses, greenies to help them to do alliance maps i will be happy for them.

Haven;t got a problem with the limit really, I can manage it with some effort, its just frustrating that some don't have it and therefore get an unfair advantage. I'd suggest G! drop the limit to 100 for all. Some cool bonuses or discounts wouldn;t go a miss though!

I have a general question regarding map use. I have a number of flight maps but don’t know how to use them.

These are the maps tha I have in my inventory called flight maps. I selected one or Alexandria and it says it is good for 12.5 hours and needs a jet. I cannot find Alexandria in my flight destinations. How do I use these maps?

Is there a guide for maps?
Thanks

Never mind. Turns out I wasn’t connected to the net and thus the destination did not show up.
