Maybe I just had a run of bad luck, but I crafted 50 blasters and only got 1 UV. Has anybody noticed a reduced chance of getting a UV from crafting? The odds of getting one used to be around 10%.
(It's been a year or two since I mass crafted anything.)
I didn't explicitly record the data, but as a result of my gunner armor crafting...
11/36 helmets and 11/36 armors have UVs.
Since I don't know which craft got the UV, each piece had 4 crafts.
That puts it at somewhere between 22/72 (31%) and 22/288 (7.6%).
Edit: Accidentally put 22/36 instead of 22/72. Somehow forgot I had to add.
I have not noticed a reduced UV rate, perhaps because I'm not crafting enough. In 2017 I crafted 7 items and got 3 UVs. In 2018 I crafted 4 items and got 0 UVs.
It would be great to hear data from other knights (subject to the usual caveats about observational bias, etc.). I'm betting that Skepticraven has a pretty big 2018 data set.
