Skins grade chances?

[sosiskaKi]

So, what chances has each skin grade? My friend said chances is in game files but my Lua knowledge is very poor.

[DarkXero]

Why don't you ask your friend?

 

Chances aren't in the game files.

It's not in the files, there's no percentage. However, here is the list of rarities from common to rare.

1. Common (Most Common)
2. Classy
3. Spiffy
4. Distinguished
5. Elegant (Rarest)

The Loyal tier isn't in the list because you can't find them in gifts, and the Timeless tier isn't in the list because there is only one Timeless item in existence, and isn't found in gifts.

@sosiskaKi If you wish to know what and who owns the timeless item it would be @nome and it's a...it's a potato cup.

All Hail the Great Potato Cup!

Also remember the pray at the holy potato cup altar every Saturmonfriday on February 29.

Well it's not exact, but I do have some numbers based on 162 drops.  The numbers for distinguished are a bit low because there weren't any for the first couple months.

 

Common: 71% (115)

Classy: 19.1% (31)

Spiffy: 6.8% (11)

Distinguished: 2.5% (4)

Elegant: 0.6% (1)

 

If anybody wants to help gather data, all you need to do is tally how many skins you have of each rarity... and then tediously go through your steam trade history, item by item, undoing the changes made by trades to arrive at the correct count.  Easy!

Forums in a nutshell.

My friend gave me this numbers:

Common - 50%

Classy - 30%

Spiffy - 15%

Distinguished - 5%

Elegant - 0.1%

Also he said that every item has own chances. For example, rabbit backpack is 0.085%, dragonfly backpack is 0.06%.

Yeah, no. Every item doesn't have it's own chance, nor are those percentages correct. There's no set percentage. Where did your friend get this information, perchance? Can I look at it?

Hmmmm...

I think either either your friend is just yanking your chain here, or you're just playing us all like a bunch of fiddles.

Either way, have this:

The deerclops cares not for the skin you've got... Ah, wrong tune. At any rate, I'd wildly interested in having your friend step in and tell us where they suspect found the rates. Because all evidence implies there is no real drop rates in the files. It's completely random. You have those skins, and the draw is made from the entire pool. It's sensible, statistics-wise, that you mostly get commons and classies. They are the biggest group.

Because apparently JoeW doesn't just manage the forum but is also the god of all that is Klei! Is what Nome meant.

So, are you considering showing us your source? Was this all just a joke on your part, @sosiskaKi?

Don't think so: a joke in its original definition is something amusing to both the author and - primarily even - the audience.
