Explorations Basics[]
Toothless and Light Fury have the ability to explore Search Locations. At the end of these explorations, players can receive a Dragon egg, Collection items, , , and
To start an Exploration, the player picks the Search Location, and the number of bags they wish to use. Players have the option to use a free bag, or pay and increase the Exploration to 2, or 3 bags. If a player has the Dragon Rider subscription, the 3 bag option is increased to 4 bags at no additional cost.
At the end of the search time, Toothless or Light Fury will return with the bags, and the player can open them to collect what they found.
There are standard permanent Explorations that Toothless or Light Fury can embark on at any time, and special time limited Event Explorations, that only Toothless can do.
Explorations Mechanics[]
For each Dragon egg, at each Search Location, the game assign a Max Bag, and Average Bag value to them.
The Max Bag value is the maximum number of bags a player needs to use at that Search Location in order to be guaranteed to find the Dragon egg. The Average Bag value is the average amount of bags most players will use at that Search Location before they find the Dragon egg.
When a player sends Toothless or Light Fury on an Exploration, the game adds the number of bags on that search to a running counter. The game uses the Max and Average Bags values to assign odds for each bag to contain the Dragon egg. As the counter runs higher, the odds to find the egg increase. When the counter reaches the Max Bags value, the player is guaranteed to find the egg in that bag.
For example, suppose a dragon has a Max Bag value of 38 and an Average Bag value of 32. About half of all players should find the dragon egg by their 32nd bag. This can be 32 one bag searches, 16 two bag searches, or 8 three bag searches. However, some players will be unlucky and need additional bags. The odds to find the dragon egg will continue to increase with each bag, and by bag 38, all players would be guaranteed to find the dragon egg in that bag.
If a player knows the Max and Average Bag values for an Exploration, and keeps tracks of their bags used, they can use that data to plan how many bags they will purchase on a search. This can help them know if they need to buy more bags to be likely to find the egg by the end of an Event Exploration, or to prevent purchasing 3 bags when the egg is guaranteed by the next bag.
Max and Average Bag values for Event Explorations can be found on the Explorations tab of the Event Data Google Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IX9RVrZOudQ2pVms-L6am7Xi6JS-WkJNWeo4advLS3I/
Note:
- Max and Average Bag values for regular permanent Explorations are not known at this time.
- If the Max value for two Dragon eggs, happen to land on the same bag number, the game forces one of those to be found in the prior bag.
- On rare occasions, the running counter can reset to 0 erasing the players progress towards obtaining the egg.
- Dragon eggs that appear in unpurchased bags do not affect your count or your odds of obtaining the egg in subsequent searches. These eggs are put in the bags by the game, and do not mean that you would have received that egg had you actually purchased the bag.
