The next set of graphs
Graphs for next ten sets
WallaBee Item Stats
Many users are trying to get their average item number down to a certain level. Say, all items sub 200, or all DD (double digit) items. So I was curious where all these low numbered items were so wrote a script to get where the first 250 numbers were located for each item. From that I generated these graphs that I thought would be interesting for some people.
They show the distribution of the first 250 numbers within the different sets. As you can see some of the items look like they are above the 250 mark and others are below. This is because some of the items can be owned and locked, others are at locations and are locked, and lastly there are some items that just don't seem to exist. These may be hidden items, which some hidden items are shown on the graph, but I have not quite figured the other ones out yet. The most interesting thing to me on these graphs is to see how many of the lower numbered items were mixed in the earlier sets and are no longer available. So that makes some of the set items MUCH harder to collect the lower numbers because of their rarity.
After starting to collect this data I see that many players are now working on getting all their items sub-1000. So I guess it might be good to run these again sometime in the future for the first 1000 items (but they can take a while to run :). So we'll see. In the mean time if you have any questions, suggestions, comments, etc., just let me know.
Here are the graphs for the first eight sets:

Geocaching This is the first geo location game that I started playing. Still actively playing and the top geo location game that I play.
Munzee Started playing this a while ago. Not a bad game, but there are not many player or locations around where I live. So I grab them when I can.
WallaBee This geo location game has really got me hooked. A fun collectible game that came out of Gowalla (which I never played before it quit) and everyone says is much better :).
