I opened 100+ cubimal boxes for science! (This thread is for posting cubimal rarity and location stats, not for trading or buying cubimals.)

All cubimals were opened from their boxes by me personally.
All Boxes were obtained by vendor (~90%), by rube (~9%) and by golden ticket (1%)
No cubimals were picked up, traded, gifted or otherwise obtained by another player

Here are the results, which I have put NEW UPDATED categories. All values are out of 100.
The original amount and type of cubimals I earned have not been modified, simply re-categorized

______________________________

Please note that because 100 is a small sample size, that some cubes marked as rare may be ultra-rare, or vice-versa. Another interesting note is that cubes seem to be vendor-associated:
All three greeterbots came from groddle heights vendor.
Both Jujus came from Kalavana vendor.
Rube came from ilmenskie deep vendor.
Helga came from groddle forest vendor, who also gave me a helga before reset.
Over half my fireflies came from the Mazzala swamp continent. (mirch, chakra, jethimad)
If I recall right, dustbunnies and cacti seemed to come from the Grumbla (north) continent

Any more cubimal statistics information will be *greatly* appreciated!

(It seems more and more likely that location is *not* a factor in what cubes appear where. However, I don't have enough data on individual vendors to confirm this.)

    ...I hope. *weeps*

    (read my posts above... yes I have an UF, but I want to get the full set via opening boxes.... for science! Even though I hate science. Blah. I hope someone out there can use my numbers, though.)

  • I've opened 5 cubimal boxes, 1 from the Rube, 1 from a Gameshow and 3 from the toy vendor in Muufo. I got 2 piggies, 2 chicks and a magic rock. The rock i got from the toy vendor in Muufo. Not sure if this helps or not, but there you go.

  • @Zoei: I am indeed keeping up with every person who keeps large records of their opened boxes. In fact, I started a cubimal club called "Verm's 10-a-day cubimal club." The club is small but already wildly successfull, in that I've opened 260 boxes since halloween. I then sell all my rares and semi-rares to the club members to fund more boxes. The club is invite only, but any collector with enough cubimal experience may send me mail asking for an invitation. The club forum records my results every day. When I reach 1000 boxes I'll compile my results and the results of major collectors in this forum (with permission, of course). I'll then formally calculate the value-odds for each cubimal type and have statistically sound price ranges for each cube. Oh, and don't feel bad about having never opened Uncle Friendly. I myself have never seen Gwen's face appear from a box.

  • I recently started collecting cubimals and I was interested in knowing the odds in collecting them. I compiled some of the data from this thread and a few private sources, using only post-reset data, and only data where people provided hard numbers for all cubimals, not just the rare ones. I only have 774 cubimals in my totals from good data but there were some pretty clear groupings of odds that I separated into grading levels. For each cubimal, I will list the odds of opening this cubimal, and an appropriate investment rating.

    D Grade Cubimals     (approx. 15%-19%)
    Chick - 18.86% - D
    Butterfly - 15.25% - D
    Pig - 14.99% - D

    C Grade Cubimals     (approx. 8%)
    Firefly - 8.53% - C
    Frog - 8.40% - C
    Batterfly - 8.27% - C
    Crab - 7.75% - C

    B Grade Cubimals     (approx. 1% - 2.5%)
    Cactus - 2.33% - B
    Bureaucrat - 2.33% - B
    Squid - 1.81% - B
    Juju - 1.55% -  BB
    Dust Bunny - 1.55% - BB
    Sno Cone Vendor - 1.55% - BB
    Greeterbot - 1.29% - BBB
    Smuggler - 1.16% - BBB
    Deimaginator - 1.03% - BBB

    A Grade Cubimals     (less than 1%)
    Helga - 0.78% - A
    Yeti - 0.65% - AA
    Gwendolyn - 0.65% - AA
    Uncle Friendly*** - 0.13% - AAA
    Rube - 0.39% - AAA
    Rook - 0.39% - AAA
    Magic Rock - 0.39% - AAA

    ***Uncle Friendly seems to be a bit of an outlier, as there was only 1 showing in my data, but anecdotally I've known many people that found him more often, so I placed him 4th among the AAA rated.

    If you're confused by the ratings system, it's relatively simple. A-grade cubimals are the best, and D-grade cubimals are the worst. Within a grade, a triple-letter rating is the best of that grade, single-letter is the worst. A Grade and B Grade cubimals are considered investment grade cubimals. All cubimals below B Grade are considered junk cubimals and hold little to no value. You should expect the ratings of investment grade cubimals to slightly shift as I collect more data.

    A couple noteworthy statistics:
    You have an 82.04% chance of opening a junk cubimal
    You have a 14.60% chance of opening a B Grade cubimal
    You have a 3.36% chance of opening an A Grade cubimal

    I hope some people find this information useful for trading purposes. In the near future I will be creating a separate thread with some guidelines for data submission so that we can get a better sample size of good data. I'm looking for some high quality sources, and I would appreciate any submissions. And if you're remotely interested in this and haven't been keeping track, please start doing so. Every set of data helps.

    Update: I created a separate thread which I will update with any additional data I receive. If you have submitted any information to this thread, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with your most recent data by submitting that info in the new thread.

  • Celebrate with me, my fellow cubimal obsessors :D

    I just opened an Uncle Friendly!!! Hurray!!!! I have now gotten the full set via opening boxes.

    Box 328 was UF. To aspiring cubimal collectors, would I recommend buying cubimals outright instead of just the boxes? Yes. Yes I would. lol xD

  • Awesome!

  • After picking up a few dumped poor Cubimals over my travels, I finally decided to try buying some. I stopped by the Jacob's Climb vendor and grabbed a box...

    ... Butterfly.

    Cute, but dumped in the "excess cubimal dump" at the bottom-left of the street, as I'd found one of those already.

    Sure, I have about 7k left, let's try one more...

    ... Magic rock.

    I'm sure my luck will aggregate over time. :)

  • Best tip is to open 3 at a  time. I got 2 juju's once tho, so I don't know if that's safe.

  • I've opened 1150+ cubimals boxes and for the last 300 or so my luck with semi-rare and rares really seems to be dropping off.  

    So far the proportion of common to semi-rare and rare seems pretty consistent with everyone else's data.  I've posted it all up in a thread here.
