What's Inside Critter Bundles?

What's Inside Critter Bundles?
Posted 2022-01-15 11:52:28 (edited)
I have sort of a lot of critter bundles at the moment and I need pheasant rooster carcasses for a quest, AND I'm lower on food than I've been in a long time, so now seems a good time to record some data that may help others in the future!

First Batch of 10 Bundles: 3x Pheasant Rooster Carcass, 5x Rabbit Carcass, 3x Weasel Carcass, 2x Rat Carcass, 2x Gull Carcass, 2x Hare Carcass, 3x Opossum Carcass, 1x Grouse Carcass, 2x Agouti Carcass, 1x Quail Carcass, 1x Muskrat Carcass, 1x Stoat Carcass 26 items total

2nd Batch: 2x Agouti Carcass, 1x Rabbit Carcass, 4x Opossum Carcass, 3x Gull Carcass, 2x Hare Carcass, 5x Quail Carcass, 3x Rat Carcass, 1x Grouse Carcass, 2x Muskrat Carcass, 3x Stoat Carcass 26 items total

3rd Batch: 3x Agouti Carcass, 3x Hare Carcass, 2x Gull Carcass, 4x Pheasant Rooster Carcass, 2x Quail Carcass, 1x Grouse Carcass, 2x Rat Carcass, 1x Weasel Carcass, 4x Rabbit Carcass, 1x Stoat Carcass, 1x Opossum Carcass 24 items total

4th Batch: 2x Opossum Carcass, 3x Stoat Carcass, 1x Quail Carcass, 4x Rabbit Carcass, 2x Pheasant Rooster Carcass, 3x Grouse Carcass, 3x Rat Carcass, 2x Hare Carcass, 1x Gull Carcass, 1x Muskrat Carcass 22 items total

5th Batch: 3x Grouse Carcass, 2x Stoat Carcass, 2x Opossum Carcass, 3x Hare Carcass, 3x Rabbit Carcass, 4x Quail Carcass, 1x Muskrat Carcass, 1x Gull Carcass, 1x Rat Carcass, 3x Agouti Carcass, 1x Pheasant Rooster Carcass 24 items total

6th Batch: 4x Weasel Carcass, 1x Opossum Carcass, 2x Hare Carcass, 7x Rabbit Carcass, 3x Gull Carcass, 1x Stoat Carcass, 1x Agouti Carcass, 3x Pheasant Rooster Carcass, 1x Muskrat Carcass, 2x Grouse Carcass, 1x Rat Carcass 26 items total

Findings
148 Items in 60 critter bundles= about 2.5 items per bundle, which puts it squarely in the middle of the advertised "2 or 3 carcasses"

Carcasses that can be found in the critter bundles, based on my findings: rat, weasel, stoat, pheasant rooster, rabbit, gull, hare, opossum, grouse, agouti, quail, muskrat. Twelve total kinds of carcasses. 3 are single-use critters, 9 are four-use critters. While sixty critter bundles isn't a huge sample, I do feel fairly confident in saying that it's unlikely that there are any other kinds of carcass that could be found in the bundles. As you can see from the data, there are occasions where no carcasses of a given kind were dropped, (Batch 2, for instance, had no pheasants or weasels) every kind of carcass represented dropped in at least three of the six ten-bundle batches.

By the numbers:
(Carcass/Number of Drops out of 148/Percentage dropped, rounded to nearest tenth)
Rabbit / 24 / 16.2%
Hare / 14 / 9.5%
Quail / 13 / 8.8%
Opossum / 13 / 8.8%
Pheasant Rooster / 13 / 8.8%
Rat / 12 / 8.1%
Gull / 12 / 8.1%
Grouse / 11 / 7.4%
Agouti / 11 / 7.4%
Stoat / 11 / 7.4%
Weasel / 8 / 5.4%
Muskrat / 6 / 4.1%

Seemingly you have a very small chance of getting any particular animal from the critter bundle, meaning that if you are doing what I did and using them to get carcasses for a snake quest, you're better off opening a bunch. If you only have a few, it's probably best not to even try unless you are desperate.

Single-use food (rat, stoat, weasel): 31, or 20.9% of carcasses dropped
Four-use food (all other drops): 117, or 79.1% of carcasses dropped

I got 499 uses of food from sixty bundles. If one were to buy critter bundles from the raccoon, at a cost of 80 silver per bundle, this would mean that the food cost about 9.6 silver per food use. This means you are almost always better off buying food from the TC if you are buying in silver. Theoretically, if you could reliably get critter bundles from the slots (all mine are from slots) then they cost only 10 sc each, meaning the food costs 1.2 sc per use. Of course, in reality, you often lose at slots or win other prizes.

Edit made on Aug 6 2023
Stoats are now 3 use items. IF all other variables remained the same (and I can't say if they have) then the bundles I opened, if I got the exact same contents today, would have provided me with an additional 22 uses of food (an extra 2 per stoat.) This means that the total number of food uses would be 521. Therefore, the true cost of the food could now hypothetically be as low as 9.2 sc per use, but I have not tested this
