Ugh... This took me 15 trips to finally get all the miter parts. I'm so glad it's finally over.

Here's my inventory after the 15th trip:

Barrel x 4

Blade x 4

Chassis x 4

Blueprint x 1

Handle x 1

Twin Gremlins x 1

Although it feels crappy to have to grind so much for just 4 parts and a blueprint, I think that's just how it goes with RNG.

With a 1/5 chance for each part (actually might be 1/6 chance, since I think a Twin Gremlins drop replaced one of the miter part drops for one trip) getting all 5 necessary miter parts in 15 trips isn't all that bad. It's not great, but it's not terrible either.

Best case scenario of course would be an RNG miracle of making 5 trips and getting 5 separate drops, but that's almost impossible.

So I think others who are grinding out miter parts should expect to have to make around 10-20 trips to get all 5 drops. Of course, some outliers will do much better (5-9 trips), while others will take much longer (20+ trips)

Worst case scenario I think, at least other than infinite trips, would be having to take more than 25 trips to get all 5 parts. Because at 25 trips, the other 4 parts, and the gremlin, would have to drop 5 whole times before seeing even 1 drop of that very last part you need.
