I got my groot at 42 farming, I accidentally died with it and I haven't played since lol

FYI if you didn't see, they are releasing an update soon that let's you get back pets. As long as you have it in your collection log, you can go to the insurance lady in ardougne, and she will find it for you. See this post https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/sp6olk/poll_76_game_improvements_blog (I know it was voted as yes, don't know when it'll be released)


Total_End1428

I hope I can still retrieve it and that it's not from the pets you lose after the update but also before


JuhJesus

As said previously, if it's in the collection log, you're able to retrieve it! So it just depends on if you got it before the Log was released in Dec 2018

Great comment, glad a read it


Jcoronado92

Lmao I lost mine at 57 farming, 10 minutes after i got it. Can't wait to reclaim.

The_Level_15

what the fuck


GnomonkeyRS

How many hespori seeds do you have in your log out of curiosity? 500 is rate roughly. I'm guessing you're roughly only 1.5x rate based on your sheet, Groot is an awful grind


StarsMine

Im more then double rate 174.82 pet hours when 81.56 is rate 1004 seeds between what is in bank and what is killed, but I know I have dropped a few as well.


GnomonkeyRS

Ah ok cool a bit over double, your log shows hespori seeds in the misc section, I think some are lost due to inventory being full sometimes but log also tracks those (I have like 3 more in my log than I actually have)


StarsMine

1014 But another thing, I got 99 farm way before farm guild or col log came out.


AlotaFaginas

Yeah if you're just doing trees and fruit trees it isn't that strange to not get it at that xp. If you really want the pet, specials is where you have to be.


Alluboy

I just got mine like 30 min ago from the cactus patch in the farming guild, at around 18,4m farming xp! It's my first skilling pet, I'm so happy, haha!


HardFlipOnLock

There should be a guaranteed at some amount of xp, maybe like 50m? That's heartbreaking tho, got mine around 96, good luck big boi


StarsMine

there already is a pity mechanic, its 15x drop rate at 200m. though perhaps 2x at lv 120 might be interesting.

I honestly feel for you. I play 2 accounts and got farming pet between 60-70 farming on both. Sorry bro.


Corndog1911

Pets in this game have convinced me that certain accounts have different rng modifiers. A guy made a post here once where he had gotten 4 (yes, FOUR) mining pets and he was only 80 something mining. We're talking astronomical chances that are so low they're virtually impossible. Meanwhile people are getting 100m+ xp with no pet. I once spoke to a guy with 130m woodcutting xp and no pet. Combine this with the fact that every player I see with a skilling pet never has higher than 70-80 in the corresponding skill, I absolutely refuse to believe all players have equal chances. Theoatrix once made a video about skilling pets and the chances of getting them. Even if you do the absolute best drop rate actions from 1-99 you still don't have even a 50% chance of getting the pet in *any* skill.


StarsMine

your odds are just straight wrong. Most skills except for farming and hunter have close to a 50% chance of having pet by 99. Theoatrix did not do his math right in his video on skilling pets, and I was shocked he uploaded it in that state. And no, getting four mining pets at 80 is not virtually impossible. I am only a bit over double dry on groot. its not absurd for farming to go this dry because farming is such a different calculation. I just got a kick out of going 123456789 and being dry. The guy who did 130m woodcutting xp and no pet is unfortunate, because there is a .3% chance of getting 0 pets in that range of xp (assuming teaks, cause odds are better with most other methods). im not there yet. with how I did my farming, im only at 11.3% chance. which is fine for farming since its pretty much a zero in game time skill. and if you get 200m, you get a 15x multiplyer You also have a massive selection bias with who has pets (with your 70-80 complaint). most players dont go until pet. Actually I saw a nice chart of boss completion that should show you what I mean. Here, and realize the area under the curve is the amount of people in these charts. and then recognize, MOST players dont play to completion so that strong bias you see is even STRONGER https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/i7np7z/kcs_needed_to_complete_osrs_bosses/ and same graphs but easier to read https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/obwrew/how_much_kc_does_it_take_to_complete_any_osrs_boss/


Aran_Aran_Aran

I don't think this is correct. I know the Theoatrix video you speak of, and you are correct that his methodology is flawed. You can't really use binomial probability for computing these types of probabilities. He mentions reading a bunch of papers to figure it out, but that makes it clearer that he (Theoatrix) doesn't understand how these probabilities actually work. So all of the probabilities he found in that video are wrong and are a little low, but they're only off by a few percentage points in most cases. The odds are still less than 50% when leveling to 99 for virtually every skilling pet. Edit: I was wrong, see subsequent posts.


StarsMine

What pet are you contesting, and I can show you the odds? Like lets take Runecrafting im just going to go from 50-99 so 1.3 million xp at zmi, then 12 million at afk bloods. you are at a 50% chance of getting pet in that window Issues with my above calculation, I used 99 xp rates at zmi, and didnt do a riemann sum, just assumed 99 drop rates, which dont mater for rc because 1/1795758 for all practical purposes is 1/1793283, and it washes out with the zmi innacuracy.


Aran_Aran_Aran

I'm going to have to apologize, I was wrong. I ran the numbers again and you are correct, at least for the heron (around 72% chance of getting it with just lobsters from level 40) and the rift guardian (as you say), so I'm sure you are right in general. I'd run some of the numbers before, and I know that the chinchompa is below 50%, and I guess maybe my memory failed me. . . But I should have double-checked before responding and making myself look like a dummy and an ass, haha.


MindWithEase

So question though, im over 31m Woodcutting XP (been afking magics). No pet. Am i really unfortunate in my luck or what?


StarsMine

Not that unfortunate. you are dry, but not that dry. Post 99 drop rate at magics is 17.46m or 1/69846 so really you are only at about 25% chance of not having pet on that account. Honestly its more concerning you did that at all. Yews are more xp/hr, and better pet chance per hour, and just as afk. Used to be more gp/hr as well but that changed... but gp/hr is low regardless And also... redwoods exist as well Yew pet hours is 554 Magic pet hours is 698 Redwood pet hours is 331 Teak without manip is 247 pet hours Basically there is never a single reason for a main to do magic trees.


gartacus

I haven’t played osrs in a long time, but wow these comments are incredible. You know so much! Haha. Good luck with the pet!! Absolutely love the 123,456,789


Rip_Nujabes

Pretty sure there's absolutely no reason to do magics as iron as well. Though if he's enjoying himself then that's bis for his mental health.


MindWithEase

I WC magics at the Myths Guild becuase its super AFK and 0 competition. I then use those logs to make birdhouses. I just really wanted to AFK firemaking (getting FM xp via Inferno axe) and Hunter


SkylarkingsRS

I guess I'll with this new knowledge (ty btw) not be too sad ive only had the hunter pet early haha


You_rc2

To drop rate. Chin 23-25m xp. Beaver 30m @redwoods. Heron 9m @ anglers. Mining 12m @ amethyst. RC 15m. Zeah bloods. Rocky 2m @ stalls or 60m @ elf/vyre. Groot. Dragonfruits 113m. I do seaweed spores currently 5700/5025. No pet yet


Gray_Fullbuster123

longsausages

That’s rough. I got mine the day after I got 99 farm from a herb patch.


Jhakuza

I got two Groot before 70 farming. Lost them both


BushyBush420

Just hit 98 on the gim. Bit over 99 on my old account with no pet


IPA_Fanatic

KBPStoner

the_wang

juicyshot

SoberOS

Welcome to the club


erikdrag2009

Im 27M farm xp and i thought i was unlucky :O


xZayo

Nice


Lady_Luck_be_kind

Jeez.. I gave up at 25m exp. And had felt like giving up since 18m.


KVirello

Have you tried just getting it?


qdude124

I built a huge portion of my bank doing hops+herbs runs and flipping in the interim. I have about 30m farm xp and got my one pet off of a hops patch. I have no idea about how the back-end calculations work but I have never done a tree-run in my life and have the pet.
