Less / more common music blocks?

I've been searching the forums and web for this, but I can't find quite what I'm looking for.

Has anyone compiled a list of less common / more common music blocks?  I'm not talking about super rares like GNG or SB-1, but I am curious about the frequency of the regular sets.  I've spent most of my time in the game selling/donating mine quickly without paying much attention to which ones are more common, and now I'm curious.  I'm thinking about starting keep mine so I can see which ones pile up, but my activities are not actually super diverse.  I'm curious about if anyone has already worked on this.

  • In general the 1's are more common and 5's generally most rare, though overall there isn't a huge difference between the rarities as the price ranges are not all that expensive.

  • 10 of one kind, I sell them. But I play one first just to see if I get the extra points. I'm keeping "one of's" for awhile because they don't drop as often. I hope someone has studied them.
    Thanks for bringing this up.

  • I've been hoarding music blocks, thinking they'll be in demand after relaunch. Based on my totally unscientific collecting:

    Type: Most/Fewest

    BB: 1/2
    DB: 3/4
    DG: 2/1
    DR: 1/5
    XS: 5/3

    Overall most: DB-3
    Overall fewest: DR-5

  • It's good to know the rarest of the regulars, because you get a badge for playing a block for a crab that he heard heard the least.  I got the badge for playing a DG block.

  • The crab cycles through GNG and SB-1, so if all the regular musicblocks have been played but not those two then it won't be possible to get the badge with the regular musicblocks until GNG and SB-1 have been played.

  • So, you are saying I was really, really lucky?

  • Yeah the badge takes quite a bit of luck, and luck if the SB-1 owners play for the crabs.

  • Thanks Nuveena - that's exactly what I was looking for!  I can't speak for most of them, but I was sure XS-5 and DB-3 were some of the more frequent ones I'm getting.

  • Ever since we got SDBs I've been stashing all my music blocks in those. I've just done a quick count - I've got 433 squirrelled away, with DR-1, DB-3 and BB-3 clear winners. DG-3 and BB-5 the rarest.

    I'm sure it's heavily skewed by the kinds of activities that you do most, so different people will see different distributions.

    You can find the spreadsheet here.

  • I got a BB5 from tending patches. Actually, got 2 of them.

  • It used to be that BB-5s were mainly given out from tending patches, but I think you can get them now from harvesting jellisacs, due to the changes devs made recently on drops (there's a list here).  Pretty sure both of those reasons is why I have so few of them, though.

    I mean, I now have tons of DB-3s from these aforementioned changes because my back hard is just herb plots.  But someone who gardens less than I do may see the DB-3s as rarer and possibly more valuable to them.  The rarity of these things is kind of relative in this game, like dopiaza said.

    The base value for the 4s and 5s seem to generally be higher than the 1-2-3s across the board, though, so they're worth comparatively more when I inevitably unload my hoard on the Tool Vendor.

  • I'm pretty sure jellisacs gave out BB-5s before those changes, although the frequency might well have increased.

  • It is really just a matter of what actions you do that affects which MBs you get. So if you don't scoop Jellisac much you won't see many of certain blocks etc.
