The base rate of receiving the thread is 1/10. To mitigate bad luck, the rate is scaled linearly with the number of raid completions, up to a maximum of 3/10 upon completing 15 raids.[1] Once the player gets their first thread, the drop rate is decreased to 1/50.[2][3]

I.E. 60x1,5 or 180×1,5. (...)] I think it's 1.5 x 180 like you said, so 270 - if I'm reading my colleagues' code directly. (...)"

I haven't seen a single duplicate thread for almost 200 raids after losing it.] No, if I'm reading the loot code correctly (which isn't a sure thing, as it isn't something I ever worked on myself) it changes to 1/50 after you've had one of those."

It looks to me like it's affected by whether you already have the jewels, as well as whether you already had a thread (moving the chance to 1/50 as you say)."
