In the past few days I have been farming keys like just about everyone has and suddenly I wondered what is the chance of getting a key. Then I thought as there is no official release of the percentage chance to get a key I thought why not make a average percentage drop rate from a mass amount of data.
I got a friend to help me start collecting data from any ether chest obtained from the pack of public event. With the sample data of 1000 ether chests we should be able to provide a average percentage of the drop rate of treasure keys and legendary engrams.
We recorded in a excel spreadsheet all items we obtained every time we opened a ether chest. In order to provide faster findings we split up 1000 ether chest and are doing 500 ether chests each.
What did you think? I will be updating this every 100 chests as needed and it should be fully updated and finished by Friday with results!
Please bump as this took a long time to type!
Results:
Update: We are in beginning stages and full results will be Friday. We will be keeping this post updated on how close we are.
Update: I've just finished opening my 100th chest 400 more to go
Any tips then please comment. If you would like to jump in a party with us and join us on our mission then add:

(If you would like to contribute please email results in excel spreadsheet with chest number going down on the left and next in columns the number of rare engrams legendary engrams and keys you get if any from each chest make sure the numbers correspond to the chest number 'fabalas@live.co.uk')

Wish the chests were more interesting, the weapons are lackluster outclassed by early game weapons such as VOG guns easily and other than that you can't really get anything new. Even on skolas all I got from the chest was the shader/ship/emblem and that dream waker launcher for the 28th time

It's a shame that keys give you shit rewards anyway. Those queen weapons suck so hard

After having all but one of the queen's weapons, the keys aren't really that sexy to me anymore. I have a couple saved if I get the bounty or if they allow multiple characters to get the ship/shader/emblem. I think you should be able to get the ship/shader/emblem on whatever character you beat Skolas on. The chest doesn't spawn any new exotic weapons, only armor (which can be had via engrams). The best Wolves weapons drop from Skolas so who cares if you have a key?

This is the type of thread that prove Bungie ignore this forum. They have the stats you're grinding for and could answer it in seconds.

I have only gotten 2 through farming, I recommend farming Saviks, the queenbreaker. I have gotten both my keys from there, and seen multiple drop while doing it.

Slim to none and slim just left town

Hell yah. Bump.

Awesome idea. Can't wait for the results :)
-
I look forward to seeing the results, I'm an analyst in my dayjob, is there any possibility of looking at the data you've got afterwards?

Bumper cars!

thanks for doing this, curious to see the results. if you put up a public google doc though we could do 100,000 chests in a day with enough interested people recording their own results

Edited by Stormrider_77: 5/28/2015 12:34:40 PMI've now created a public document where you can edit it for free online and help out if you want and I will include your results in the final version just leave a note on the spreadhsheet with your name that you would like to be credited after you've done a amount https://d.docs.live.net/9a7daf79a165f472/Public/

Like for later

Isn't the drop rate higher in the small chest by the big chest at the end of PoE, then the ether ones
-
Bump. Good stuff. Interested to see real testing and results.

Edited by The Primarch: 5/28/2015 1:43:00 AMVery nice, been wondering about the drop rate, can you remind me when it's done? Or just comment so that I have a notification?
