At which hours does a typical player stop finding better gear?
Even a loot table that looks generous can leave a long stretch where nothing better drops, and that is exactly where players feel stuck. This entry shows how to follow the best item a typical player owns over time and mark the dry stretches.
Why this works
Players feel progress through the best thing they own, not through how much they find. Following the best item over time shows the stretches where a rich loot table still gives nothing that makes them stronger.
When not to use it
Skip it when strength comes mostly from levels, skills or choices rather than gear, because then the best item says little. Follow whatever really makes the player stronger instead.
