Unfortunately most of these documents are really private . I understand the scepticism , nevertheless I always appreciate when customers take some time to retell their experience . <| sep |> Obviously not , but we can compare drop for drop tell you what , you find me the spawn chances of the different slimes and I ' ll calculate the aggregate percentage chance of getting a slime staff in one day vs the chance of getting a merchant with companion cube in one dayHere , I started off with traveling merchant . 0 . 017696 % to 0 . 048664 % chance every ingame day . worst case of 4 items vs best case of 11 items given his spawn chance of 22 . 12 % over the course of a daythat ' s a 0 . 03318 % average chance of getting a traveling merchant spawn with a companion cube every day . after only 10 k spawns you ' d have a probability of ~ 97 . 4 % to have at least one of said spawns having companion cubes , after 10 k slimes we ' re at 86 . 469 % probability of having at least one staff . Naturally slimes are more common , but depending on how you play it ' s statistically extremely unlikely this is assuming you rely on natural spawns , with a statue farm you can skew the odds however you want
