January 2012 Statistics

The games began on Monday, January 7, 2013 at 10:00 AM EST.
The games ended on Monday, January 28, 2013 at 10:00 AM EST.

My data for the Eveningstar Ice Races is just too small to really post about. The only thing I will say is that if you do not finish the race, you have a better chance of getting a fire resist or a cold resist scroll. If you finish the race, you have a better chance of getting a Glaciation recipe. I received at least two Glaciation 120 recipes, I finished the race both times, and I scored over 800 each time.

FINAL RESULTS - could be some typos.
I only cash coins in at the Harbor. You could cash in at House P. I cash coins in Instance 1 always.

Usual caveats apply. In no way am I inferring that my results will be the same as your results. I am sure you all will get more recipe 5s than I do per 100 coins.

For those of you that notice the percentages do not add up to 100 it is because on rare chances, three white coins can give you two rewards. Two blue coins can give you three rewards. Plus, there are times when you just get winter motes for white coins. I just lump all that in.

I was not a big seller of Icy Burst kits this year as I needed motes.

Before I knew that I could get a Polar Bear Cub for 10,000 motes, I had agreed to provide 10,000 motes to some players at 500,000 plat. Which is 50K per thousand,

I had to experiment with the midwinter recipes to see how they worked. For what levels do they function the best?

Currently, I am of the conclusion that Icy Bursting weapons for level 4 through level12 is good. Anything above that most of us will have named weapons, crafted weapons, or green steel weapons that we use.

The Armor is still an unknown. Risia Altar I could put Glaciation 78 on a weapon. If I wanted higher than that I had to go to Eveningstar and add glaciation 84-120 to my most frequently worn armor set. Not sure how many casters use shields, but I know I don't.

For the Fire Resist and Cold Resist, right now I placed it on armor and shields for level 6 through level 16.

Battle Armor +5 I added Fire Resist 10 to.
Battle Tower Shields +5 I put Cold Resist 10 on.
Mountain Armor +5 I added Fire Resist 10 to.
Mountain Tower Shields +5 I put cold resist 10 on.

Mithril Breastplate +5 I put Fire Resist 10 on. Or Skirmish if you aren't an old timer that doesn't have Mithril breastplate sitting in banks.

Robes of Greater Fire Reistsance I added Fire Resist 10 to. Pretty sure it stacks.
Robes of Greater Cold Resistance I added Cold Resist 10 to.

Did anyone besides myself and my friends find the glaciation 30 recipe to be almost mythically rare?. I tried scoring 1 and ended up with a resist 75% of the time or more. I scored 108 (finished) and got a glaciation 36. Very hard to intentionally get a glaciation 30.

This... is....most impressive.

Unfortunately, I did not write down my first eight days of winter data. I was just trying to figure out what the heck.

I know the first six time I did it I RACED to the end going through every gate and being rewarded with a low score and who knows what kind of recipe.

My scores were very low.

Once I figured out that it was SNOWFLAKE points that gave me motes, 1 mote per three snowflake points, I then decided to try to not finish the race but go back and use my full 3:00 on the course.

If I was near the end and my time was low, I would skate around at the end and try for that last purpleI(42 points) and cross the finish line for the bonus of 100 snowflake points just for finishing.

In case some do not know

Pink or Copper snowflakes = 1 point
Blue or SIlver snowflakes = 13 points
Gold Snowflakes = 27 points
Purple Snowflakes = 42 points

All the snowflakes had their standard spots. There were probably a grand total of six purples on any course.

Yes, the frustratingly random thing was whether there were any jump boost anywhere near the purple flakes so that you could get them.

My scores ranged anywhere from 450 to 1100, depending almost entirely on what the random setup was with the snowflakes. Some times there were gold flakes and double score icons literally all over the place, other times i went through the whole course without seeing any.
