Finding Whispering Snake Skulls

I've found Whispering Snake Skulls in Old logs/stomps, but never in butchered Timber Rattlers.
As WIKI informs, Timber Rattler has WSS:
Random chance to get various rare items from butchering. Chance of dropping is much higher with Viscera & Bits.
This includes: Etterfang, Forked Tongue, Rattle Rattler, and Whispering Snake Skull.


As for me, I killed many these snakes, looted about 10 Etterfangs but never WSS. Anybody lucky?

I've gotten wss from them before. It's just really really rare.

I've probably only killed 60 plus snakes in the game so far, and I've only looted one whispering skull, no Fangs, Rattles or Tongues yet.
So, it's probably a random dice-roll, and not a % that can be calculated, sorry ...just keep kill'n them !

You didnt study statistics so much I guess XD A dice-roll is purely a %

Please enlighten the rest of us on your statistical pure percentages for this game's dice rolls ?

He means the roll is unbiased. It's the same chance you'll get a WSS every time you roll for one.

If you roll a 6-face-dice and event-A happens when you roll a 5, you have 16,5% that A starts. You can guess a % with experience. If you kill 10 snakes and you find 1 skull, you have 10%, but statistics work with high number, so after 1000 killed snakes, you find 87 skulls, the % is 8,7%. The % taken by experience converge to the real solution when the experience go to infinitive.

As an aside, in my field of research we typically assume that we have a good (enough) idea of the odds involved only after we have seen more than 100 occurences.
