Arknights PSA: 1-7 is NO LONGER Better Than Other Stages During Special Supplies Events!

During the first three weeks following the Episode 9: Stormwatch release, all stages but Annihilation ones have a chance to drop both Emergency Sanity Supplies, small potions worth just 10 sanity, and Special Supplies, which can be opened to obtain random materials.

For past events that featured these Limited Supply special dropst, the infamous rock-farming stage 1-7 was by far the most efficient one, dropping almost twice as many Special Supplies and Emergency Sanity Potions per sanity spent than any other stage in the game. Is this still the case?

With this specific Limited Supply drop event, Hypergryph decided to tone down two specific stages, those being 1-7 and CE-5, reducing the drop rates of both Special Supplies and Emergency Sanity Potions: to about 65% of their original rate for 1-7, and to an staggeringly low 25% for CE-5 (based on community drop rate reports).

As a result, 1-7 is NO LONGER significantly better than any other stage in the game, and CE-5 is the worst by a long shot.

The drop rates for 1-7 have simply been leveled down to be in line with all other stages in the game, so it's a perfectly fine stage to run during this event. CE-5, however, constitutes a huge loss in efficiency.

Long story short, farm whatever you need to, so long as it isn't CE-5, and enjoy a couple of extra sanity drops and materials every day.
