Reaper/mythic bonuses during treasure hunter weekend documentation thread

To document whether reaper/mythic bonuses are dropping at an increased rate during treasure hunter weekends I decided to track my loot during the weekend while grinding through the end of a heroic/epic life.


My sample ended up being a total of 74 items, with 7 reaper drops in total, for a drop rate of 9.45%. This is modestly higher then the believed reaper drop rate of 5%, but still with in reasonable luck due to the modest sample size. (For reference this has about a 8% chance of happening)

Of the items gotten, none were slot exclusive, 2 were weapons, 1 was a runearm, 1 was an orb, 1 trinket, 1 helmet, one pair of gloves.

The bonus during the recorded period was a +15 weekend.


If you would like contribute you own data, Please document

I do not have any hard data. I know it boosts reaper drops so I got nuts in lowbie quests with a parked toon where rerolls are only 3 shards.

I did not have massive time over the weekend but cranked as much as I could squeeze in here and there. I think I amassed about 35ish frags worth.

I think quad boxers do better and spend less.

I did enjoyed this boost - i will pop treasure finding potion and hunter elixir next time bonus is up. Not doing hard math but it felt that difference was there.

I certainly got more items per chest and definetly more mythic bonuses. plus i was running a 10% better chance of a named item potion.

Pulled my 2nd reaper hat in 2 days after a 3 year dry spell 5'th total to date
My issue there is we aren't controlling for how many chest are being opened, or people who didn't get lucky not reporting their results.

If it turns out there is no effect on the reaper drop rate during bonus weekends, are you going to compensate people for their wasted shards?
My lawyer has refrained me from answering that question. Thank you, have a nice day.

If you care so much about not risking the supposed boost, go annoy the people claiming it has an effect. Otherwise I see no justification to tell me to stop investigating whether it is actually true, because if it isn't no one benefits from the belief that it is.

You are a peculiar individual denying all the evidence laid out.

I made the mistake of deciding to fill my Winter Lutes this weekend instead of farming chests, but I opened the chest in r1 Members Only 10 times: eight times on one account and twice on another. I received 15 reaper fragments and several artifacts. No special boost other than the weekend bonus.
Years ago I farmed regularly every weekend and got ~12 fragments [from ~100 named item pulls on r10]. Treasure Hunter Elixirs and Chest Bless never did anything meaningful beyond making more blue beams appear. Some (not every) Treasure Hunter weekend seemed to affect the gain. Sometimes I would still get a normal amount, another time I got 130 fragments doing the same route. With how many I got doing so little this weekend I expect I could have had another hundred+ if only I had bothered.

Because uncontrolled observations aren't good evidence.
Someone getting a lucky streak and pulling 11 reaper items in a dozen chest or that they pulled 3 times as many shards without tracking how many chest they opened doesn't actually tell us anything about the underlying rate.

Not true. Also there's more than a few people here that have noticed more than average reaper items 🥴
