my experience from the past weeks includes a thing that imho hasn't been mentioned so far.
I am 99% playing RVR and entered T2-4 just after hitting 16 and kept looting many good bags when on lower levels.
I dunno whether contribution depends on level difference or not, but I got my first subjugator (2-hand) with lvl 18, with 20 I already had 2 genesis parts, the whole set with mid-20 and got three different conq parts plus all subjugator items when below 30.
I got like 30+ whites in the same time but overall very good loot, like a sum of around 50 bags. The ratio between zone lock and logging off before lock would be like 75/25 i think.
Now with 35/51 in the last maybe 5 levels the loot hasn't been much more than whites and some imperious warrants, so this behaviour may depend on hitting higher levels.
Same thing like in scenarios maybe, lower rank = much better numbers/loot.
*facepalm*

Hold up, what? And I thought I was lucky to get my first conquerer piece at rr52.

Yes, it's formula, not roll + aao + accumulated bonus from previous attempts.

Please let me hope, lol.. especially if I have to wait the same duration for the 3rd bag as I did for the 2nd. Superstitions really work
Seriously though, glad that you noticed, and thanks for your work here.

There is a curse laid upon some characters.
I've been playing on this server for a long time. Got my conq gear with the previous sysyem. Sub and all. However 6 months and that last genesis has eluded me. Multiple double. Some I just keep in my bank for lols. So yeah RNG gods are evil.
P.S. genesis fragment why won't you drop for me!!!
*popcorn*

Started t4 as r16 rr21 and r25 rr42 atm, so far only got 2 greens and 30+ whites. I must be doing something wrong then

One question I still have that wasn't answered...
Does contribution count towards each colored bag individually, or just until a colored bag has been obtained.
Ex) I went four zones with whites with a "valiant contribution". The next one I got a blue bag. Has my contribution reset completely to 0, or ONLY for the chance at a blue bag, and I still have contribution towards purple/gold?
If this can be answered, I feel the thread can be closed. I only opened it to get a better understanding of how the system works, not to complain about the system and how many white bags one has gotten.

It works like the latter.

Each bag has it's own accumulation bonus.
Bonus is only reset when you win that bag.
You get a chance at a roll on each bag, starting from Gold, and working its way down until you win a White bag.
