- Since I had seen a few people mention about bracelet versus bead token trade-ins, I decided to attempt some math~
Please forgive me if any of this is wrong, I just wanted to try and highlight some general data! ^^;
Collection Periods: Initial Numbers and Limits
event dates (July-August): 28, 29, 30, 31, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Token collecting closed at rollover into August 9th.
Bead token collection for the event started on July 28, day 1 of the event and ran until the closing of token collecting on August 8.
- 12 days for beads, maxed at 300 banners by end of event
Bracelet tokens were introduced at the craft table on day 4, marked above in bold.
- 9 days for bracelets, limit unknown, but if you pulled once every hour for the entire event you would max at 216 bracelets
(likely actually capped at 200, given past limits)
Event Trade-Ins: Numbers of Items/Pets per Token Type
As a preface to this section, I would like to state that these numbers are based on minimum required trade-ins, assuming either optimal outcome pulls or swapping littermate/item outcomes with other users for a complete collection!
I realize that this ^ is not everyone's play style or actual experience, this is just to establish the baseline/minimum trade-in requirements.
Bead Tokens
Total number of bead token pets (including river otters): 30 pets
Total number of bead token items: 2 sets of items*
*one of the sets gives out 26 random items out of 26 possible outcomes
Number of bead tokens required for the above: 99
Fish Tokens
Understanding a 1:1 ratio to bead tokens as 3 beads can yield 3 fish
Total number of fish token pets: 8 pets
Number of fish tokens required for the above: 24 fish
Bracelet Tokens
Total number of bracelet token pets: 22 pets
Total number of bracelet token items: 1 set (complete)
Number of bracelet tokens required for the above: 24 bracelets
As you need to trade bead tokens for fish tokens, the final bead token count is 123
Time Needed for Full Collection
Assuming optimal pulls and swaps, as noted above!
To collect 123 bead tokens you would need to collect tokens every 20 minutes for 2,460 minutes or 41 hours - under two days of straight token collecting, spread over 12 possible days
To collect 24 bracelet tokens you would need to collect a token every hour for 24 hours, spread out across 9 possible days.
For the bracelet tokens, the pull rate of tokens is slightly altered as a result of the possibility to pull a pet instead of a token!
------------------------------
Without getting too specific, the internet event appeared to have pet/item distribution as follows for 20-minute banners versus 1-hour banners...
- 20-minute banner pets: 139 tokens for 42 pets
- 1-hour banner pets/items: 23 tokens for 17 pets/2 item sets
In the 2022 Internet Event, the banner token collection ran for 12 days, with the 1-hour token opening on day 5 (8 days of collecting):
July-August, 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 1 2 3
Token collecting closed at rollover into August 4.
I don't have any real thoughts about the numbers, I just wanted to share what I pulled together out of my own curiosity ^^
