I have read somewhere on Wikia, that gifting before visiting increases the chances of getting the drops. I started to count how many drops I get.

I would like to find out the factors used by the algorithm. The drops should motivate a player for visiting. I doubt that the drops are totally random. I suppose the algorithm is quite simple and universal.

'''Would you like to participate and share your results?

1. What level are you at? What is your reputation level? How many charges can you leave? How many friends do you have?

2. Are you running any luck talisman/Artifact?

3. Have you gifted your friends before visiting? (free gifts, CIs, premium and 'simple' crafting items)?

4. What did you charge?

5. How many drops did you get?'''

6. Have I missed something? Could be added according to your feedback.

==============

Here are my today's results:

1. 87 lvl, 34 rep lvl, 10 charges; 78 friends.

2. No talisman/artifact.

3. Gifted: all free gift, all CIs and crafting items, including premium ones.

4. Rooms, the crafting stations only when requested.

5. 52 drops. Was it a simple jackpot?

Here is my routine:

1. I multi gift the APs.

2. I set the today's date and distribute the available gifts according to my friends' WL (CIs, crafting items, fixers).

3. I charge the locations and the crafting stations when requested (the charges last only for 48h => I consider a friend prepares own stations in advance by adding 'ChrgCraft' to his/her name because the Magisterium requires ~100 cumulative charges for a perfect result. The stations are used less extensively on the daily basis; the Magisterium is hard to get, so it is used rarely, but the rooms are played daily). I never charge the trophies (imho the benefit is doubtful, a joker's help is more useful on the rooms (10% less energy).

I never run the luck talisman when visiting.

Today I have gotten 52 drops, it was my best result. Yesterday I got 38 drops.

A few days ago I run the 3 day luck+experience Artifact:

1 day - 42 drops - my previous best result (all the gifts had been sent),

2nd day - 40 drops (couldn't gift, being limited by the first 24h action of another Talisman),

3d day - 29 drops (the gifts had been sent).

As you see, it is hard to explain the obtained results. I had 32-35 drops before running the Artifact, but I had 2 friends less, the gifts had been sent too.
