The quest for gifted bees is a cornerstone of Bee Swarm Simulator (BSS), offering significant boosts to your hive and gameplay. Understanding the odds of obtaining these special bees is crucial for effective strategy and resource management. Here, we’ll break down the various methods of obtaining gifted bees and their respective probabilities, providing you with a comprehensive guide to maximizing your chances.
Methods for Obtaining Gifted Bees and Their Probabilities
There are several ways to acquire gifted bees, each with its own associated probability:
Royal Jelly and Basic Eggs
The most common method for obtaining gifted bees is by using royal jelly or hatching them from basic eggs. Both of these methods share the same chance: a 0.4% (1 in 250) probability of resulting in a gifted bee. This means that, on average, for every 250 royal jellies used or basic eggs hatched, you can expect to receive one gifted bee. However, it’s essential to remember that this is an average; you might get lucky and obtain one sooner or have a streak of bad luck.
Favorite Treats
Feeding a bee its favorite treat also presents a chance to turn it gifted. This method’s odds are significantly lower than those of royal jelly and basic eggs, with the probability varying depending on the bee’s rarity:
- Rare Bees: 0.0125% (1 in 8000) chance.
- Epic Bees: 0.01% (1 in 10000) chance.
- Common and Legendary Bees: 0.0083% (1 in 12000) chance.
- Mythic Bees: 0.00417% (1 in 24000) chance.
These low probabilities make this method a rather unreliable way to achieve gifted bees, especially for higher-rarity bees.
Star Jelly, Star Treats, and Star Eggs
Unlike the previous methods, star jelly, star treats, and star eggs offer a guaranteed chance of obtaining a gifted bee. This means that every time you use one of these items, you are guaranteed to get a gifted bee. They are significantly more difficult to obtain than Royal Jellies and basic eggs, but provide a surefire path for your desired gifted bees.
Special Events and Mobs
Certain events and mobs in the game also offer a chance at gifted bees. For example, Rogue Vicious Bees have a roughly 1 in 30-40 chance (2.5-3.3%) to spawn as a gifted variant. Similarly, Commando Chick drops a Mythic Egg upon the 50th capture, and this egg has a low chance of being a Gifted Mythic.
The Rarity of Gifted Bees
The rarity of a gifted bee, in general, follows the base bee rarity. However, it is essential to understand how these gifted bees compare to each other: Gifted Rare > Epic, and Gifted Epic > Legendary. Gifted variants of lower-rarity bees are often superior to their higher-rarity non-gifted counterparts. Thus, players should aim to replace duplicates of non-legendary gifted bees when possible.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the Gifted Bee rate from Royal Jelly?
The rate is 0.4% (1 in 250). This applies to both using royal jelly and hatching from basic eggs.
2. What are the odds of getting a gifted Mythic bee from Royal Jelly?
The odds of getting a gifted Mythic bee from Royal Jelly are the same as any bee: 0.4% (1 in 250). Note that royal jelly does not influence the rarity of the bee; it is random, it merely has the chance to be gifted.
3. What is the chance of getting a gifted legendary from royal jelly?
While the general gifted rate with royal jelly is 0.4%, the chance of this gifted bee being a legendary is not directly tied. The odds of any royal jelly being gifted is 1 in 250 (0.4%) which is then divided further by the chances of the bee being legendary, which is typically 3/100 (3%). In summary, 3/100 * 1/250 = 3/25000, which is approximately 1/8333.
4. Are Gifted Rare Bees Better than Epic Bees?
Yes, a Gifted Rare bee is generally better than a non-gifted Epic bee. Similarly, a Gifted Epic is better than a non-gifted Legendary.
5. How rare is it to get a Mythic Egg from Mondo Chick?
The chance to receive a Mythic Egg from Mondo Chick is approximately 1-2%, with the probability increasing slightly depending on how quickly you defeat it.
6. What is the rarity of the Gifted Basic Bee?
The chances of getting a Gifted Basic Bee from sunflower seeds are 1 in 12,000. The chances of hatching a Gifted Basic Bee from a Basic Egg are 0.348% (approximately 1 in 287).
7. Is Gifted Fuzzy Bee good?
Yes, a Gifted Fuzzy Bee is considered very good. While the non-gifted version is less desirable, the gifted version’s ability to pollinate multiple flowers with its Fuzzy Coat is a valuable asset to any hive. The Haze buff that comes with the gifted status makes it an absolute must have in every hive.
8. How rare is a Mutation in BSS?
The base chance of getting a mutation when feeding a bee a bitterberry is 1 in 1,000. This is increased to 1 in 100 if the bee is radioactive. Various special items, including royal jellies, can also cause mutations.
9. What is the best bee in BSS?
The “best” bee is subjective and depends on your play style. However, bees such as Barbie Bee, Bear Bee, Fuzzy Bee, Festive Bee, Diamond Bee, Digital Bee, Buoyant Bee, and Precise Bee are all considered top-tier bees by the community, each with their own unique strengths.
10. What does a Gifted Fuzzy Bee do?
A Gifted Fuzzy Bee’s passive ability, Fuzzy Coat, allows it to pollinate up to 9 nearby flowers each time it gathers, compared to only 5 for its non-gifted version.
11. Can you get a Mythic Bee from Require Gifted Setting?
Yes, you can. If you set the auto-jelly to “Require Gifted”, it will stop for any gifted bee, including gifted mythics. Setting it to “Until Legendary” will result in it stopping for any gifted legendary or higher. If you want regular Mythics without stopping for gifted ones, set it to “Require Gifted” or “Until Legendary”, but not both.
12. Is Gifted Vicious Bee rare?
A Rogue Vicious Bee has a roughly 2.5-3.3% (1 in 30-40) chance to spawn as a gifted variant. Gifted Vicious Bees have increased stats, making them more potent.
13. Should I keep rare gifted bees?
It is advisable to replace duplicates of gifted bees below Legendary rank. However, you may want to keep one of each for their gifted hive bonus.
14. Can you get a gifted mythic bee from a mythic egg?
Yes, it is possible to obtain a Gifted Mythic Bee from a Mythic Egg, although it is very rare. The guaranteed option is a Star Egg
15. How rare is it to get a Silver Egg from a Rare Sprout?
A Rare Sprout has a 20% chance of dropping a single Silver Egg.
