Eye rarities
How rare are the eye types?
What are you basing this on?
I used the search function to see how many dragons with each eye type currently exist on the site.
The male/female split in the table is because you need to select at least two attributes in dragon search
How likely am I to hatch special eyes?
Looks like it's approximately 50%.
I loaded the 120 most recent hatchlings and got these results:
Hatched vs scatter vialed - differences?
Or: do the scatter vials give certain odd eyes more frequently than hatching does? (Using a vial guarantees a special eye colour, while hatching does not - but if we look beyond that, is there a difference?)
To try and answer this question I looked at the number of hatchlings with a certain eye (hatched) versus the number of adults with a certain eye (vialed).
This is not 100% accurate, as people can use vials on hatchlings too, but it will give us an indication. If there are differences between the two methods I'd expect them to be pretty big.
The percentage spread between the two groups is pretty similar, so I would guess that there is no difference between using a vial or hatching a nest.
Places to gather data:
- @Rosewing gathering info on Scatter Vials
- @Keryth gathering info on Scatter Vials through a form
Let me know if there are more I missed, I'll add them asap!

Notes: ♥ The data will be distorted slightly because people find some result more desirable than others. If they get an "uncommon" eye but were hoping for something more exciting they might keep using scrolls until the dragon gets Primal eyes. ♥ The actual rarities are probably round numbers, e.g. 30% instead of 29.55%. I chose to display the actual numbers I found instead of guessing at the right ones. |
