Yes, you absolutely can get a Mythic Bee from a Gold Egg in Bee Swarm Simulator, but it’s important to understand that it’s a rare occurrence. While Gold Eggs are primarily known for their higher chance of hatching Epic bees, they do offer a small chance of yielding either a Legendary or, very rarely, a Mythic Bee. The exact probability of this is 1%. This means for every 100 gold eggs you hatch, you might only expect to see one hatch into a Mythic Bee, statistically speaking. It is not a reliable method for getting Mythic Bees, but it is possible.
Understanding the Gold Egg
The Gold Egg is a type of egg in Bee Swarm Simulator that falls somewhere in the middle of the rarity spectrum. Unlike Basic Eggs, which primarily produce Basic Bees, or Diamond Eggs, which focus on Diamond Bees, Gold Eggs offer a better shot at higher-tier bees. Here’s a breakdown of the hatch probabilities for a Gold Egg:
- Epic Bee: 79% chance
- Legendary Bee: 20% chance
- Mythic Bee: 1% chance
As you can see, the chances of getting an Epic bee are quite high compared to a Legendary, and drastically higher than a Mythic. This makes the Gold Egg a decent source of Epic and Legendary bees, but a poor choice if you’re specifically targeting Mythic bees.
The Mythic Bee Rarity
Mythic Bees are the most difficult type of bee to obtain in Bee Swarm Simulator. They have unique and powerful abilities, making them highly sought after by players. Due to their strength and rarity, most people try to get Mythics from Mythic Eggs, which guarantee a Mythic Bee, but are themselves quite rare. Other methods of getting Mythic Bees include using Royal Jelly, which has a very low chance of producing a Mythic, or through other specific in-game mechanics and events.
Why Not to Rely Solely on Gold Eggs for Mythic Bees
While the idea of getting a Mythic bee from a gold egg might be enticing, relying on this method would be highly inefficient. Here’s why:
- Low Probability: The 1% chance is extremely low. You would need to hatch a significant number of Gold Eggs to have a good chance of getting a Mythic bee.
- Better Uses: Gold Eggs are often better saved for crafting end-game items like the Honey Mask. Using them all up to try for a Mythic bee might leave you lacking for these upgrades.
- More Efficient Methods: There are much more efficient methods of getting a mythic bee, like using Royal Jellies (even with their low individual chance, you will be rolling them far faster than you can get gold eggs) or saving up for a Mythic egg.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Mythic Bees and Gold Eggs
Q1: What is the primary purpose of a Gold Egg?
The primary purpose of a Gold Egg is to provide a decent chance at obtaining Epic bees (79% chance), with a secondary chance at Legendary bees (20% chance). While it can produce a Mythic Bee, it’s not the most reliable method. It also has a secondary use in crafting the Honey Mask.
Q2: How does the chance of getting a Gifted bee relate to hatching eggs, like gold eggs?
Each time a player uses Royal Jelly or hatches any type of egg, there is a 0.4% (1/250) chance of obtaining a Gifted bee. This chance is independent of the bee type it produces.
Q3: What are the chances of getting a Mythic Bee from 1,000 Royal Jellies?
While each Royal Jelly has a 0.004% (1 in 25,000) chance of creating a Mythic Bee, after rolling 1,000 royal jellies, you are still likely to not get a Mythic Bee because these are all independent rolls. Theoretically, you have a 4% chance, but its is never guaranteed. You might still need to roll far more royal jellies to actually see a mythic.
Q4: Is it better to hatch a Mythic egg or save it for a later boost event?
If it’s your first Mythic Egg, and you have fewer than two Mythic bees, you should hatch it immediately. If you have two or more, it is best to save it for events like Beesmas or Honey Day to get the bonus.
Q5: Can you get a Gifted Mythic Bee from a Mythic Egg?
Yes, you can get a Gifted Mythic Bee from a Mythic Egg, although it’s still very rare. The Mythic Egg guarantees a Mythic Bee, but the Gifted status is based on the 1/250 chance mentioned previously.
Q6: Can I get a Mythic bee from Royal Jellies?
Yes, you can get a Mythic Bee from Royal Jellies. Each jelly has a 0.004% (1 in 25,000) chance to produce a Mythic Bee.
Q7: How rare is a Mythic egg from Mondo Chick?
Obtaining a Mythic Egg from the Mondo Chick is rare, with approximately a 1-2% chance, which increases slightly based on how quickly you defeat the chick.
Q8: Should I hatch my Diamond egg?
You should avoid hatching your Diamond Eggs if you’re aiming to complete the game and you are willing to be patient. Diamond Eggs have better usage in crafting the Diamond Mask. However, If you have all the gifteds except Mythics (excluding events), hatching it will guarantee a gifted Mythic bee.
Q9: Can you get a Mythic Bee from a Basic Egg?
No, you cannot get a Mythic Bee from a Basic Egg. Basic Eggs can only produce Basic Bees and, rarely, other types.
Q10: What is the easiest way to get Mythic Bees?
While obtaining Mythic Bees is inherently difficult, the easiest way is to use Royal Jellies as you can obtain and use these far faster than you can farm eggs. However, even using jellies has a very low chance.
Q11: What is the rarest egg in Bee Swarm Simulator?
The rarest regular egg is the Star Egg. It is only given by two quests or, rarely, by a boss or night memory match.
Q12: What does the “Require Gifted” and “Until Legendary” settings do with Royal Jellies?
The “Require Gifted” setting will stop auto-jelly usage when a Gifted bee is found. The “Until Legendary” setting will stop when a Legendary bee is found. With both on, only Gifted Legendaries and Gifted Mythics will trigger the stop. If you are using Royal Jellies and looking for regular Mythics, using only “Require Gifted” or “Until Legendary”, but not both, is ideal.
Q13: Is it possible to get a Mythic Bee through a gifted bee conversion?
No. Converting a bee to gifted does not change its rarity and the type of bee remains the same. A Mythic will stay a Mythic, just now gifted.
Q14: What is the likelihood of getting a gifted Basic Bee from a Basic Egg?
The chance of hatching a Gifted Basic Bee from a Basic Egg is 0.348% (approximately 1 out of 287).
Q15: How do I obtain the Glitched Digital Bee?
You can only obtain a Glitched Digital Bee by hatching a Glitched Digital Bee Egg, which is obtained by turning in a Supreme Cog Amulet, a Digital Bee, and 75 of each Super Drive type.
Conclusion
While it is technically possible to get a Mythic Bee from a Gold Egg, it’s an incredibly rare event with only a 1% chance. The Gold Egg is much better for obtaining Epic and Legendary bees, or for saving up to create the Honey Mask. If you’re looking for Mythic Bees, it is best to save up for Mythic Eggs or use Royal Jellies, despite the low individual chance of success. Focus your resources on the most efficient methods to achieve your goals in Bee Swarm Simulator. Remember to be patient and persistent, and happy bee keeping!
