I've made 642 instance runs to search for Corrupted areas, Vaal skills and the 4 fragments that make the mask. I did all the runs in Act 2 Merciless. From 642 runs i found 88 corrupted areas.



I've made runs looking for corrupted areas and reseted the instances until one corrupted area spawns.

Below is a graph representing the number of resets required to find a corrupted area and the distribution of such areas.







I found a total of 49 Fragments from the mask.







33 Sacrifice at Dusk fragments

13 Sacrifice at Dawn fragments

3 Sacrifice at Noon fragments



55.68% of the drops were fragment drops. 37.5% of the drops were Dusk fragments.



Reading all my data i can safely assume 2 things:

1- the fragment drops from the boxes are not "rare drop"

2- not all the fragments have an equal chance to drop.



Around 50% of the time the reward for your effort will be a scroll fragment. This is exactly how much the Dusk fragment worths. This is not fair RNG. Player's effort is not rewarded.



Cris, you lied about the drop frequency. The "common" fragments drop and they have no value. This is another trick to keep us engaged without any reword mechanic.



This in not a QQ thread.I'm just sad to see the direction this amazing game is taking. For some aspects of this patch, GGG team should be ashamed...



" Jonathan You might want to revisit your assumption that excess fragments are worthless.

PS

I have to admit i can be very wrong about the value of the common fragments. If this is the case i apologize for my rushed judgment.
