EDIT: Well, this is a weird LTQ. I'll try to list the jobs as well as my personal drop rate, and I will sum the energy total later. I'm on Android.
As an additional note, I will always be doing the cheaper energy job when given the option. This might affect drop rates, I'm not sure.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What level do I need to be to participate?
A: The minimum level is 31, says Assault & Flattery.
Q: Why don't I see the LTQ?
A: Make sure you have the latest dataset and update. On iOS I believe that means opening and closing your game a few times. Android will tell you in the "About" page when a dataset is Updating. If you don't see anything here, try uninstalling and reinstalling your game.
Q: What are the drop rates for the items?
A: I have no idea. I'm going to post my personal drop rate as a reference, but there is no way to tell if I'm lucky or unlucky, as 1 person hardly constitutes a sample. I am going to post the absolute minimum energy and XP requirements, followed by my personal energy/XP spent. Here is how you can calculate the expected energy/XP requirements if you know the drop rates.
Suppose you need 15 loot items from a job that costs 100 energy per hit and gives 10XP per hit. The absolute minimum requirements of energy and XP would be assuming a 100% drop rate, that is, each job gives the loot item. This means the minium requirements would be 15 * 100 energy, 15 * 10xp = 1500 energy, 150xp.
Now let's say you know the drop rate of this item is actually 75%. What you will do is divide those minimum totals by the drop rate (as a decimal, not a percentage-- 75% = 0.75). So for example,
1500 energy / 0.75 = 2000 energy
150xp / 0.75 = 200xp.
This means you can expect to spend about 2000 energy, and earn about 200xp. Of course, you can get 'lucky' or 'unlucky' and end up spending more or less than this, but these figures are what you can expect to spend.
NORMAL MODE TOTALS
Absolute minimum possible energy*: 17,767 energy
My energy total: 26,250 energy
Estimated energy**: 26,690 energy
Absolute minimum XP*: 3792xp + 1134 prize xp = 4,926xp
My XP total: 5598 xp + 1134 prize xp = 6,732xp
Estimated XP**: 5616 xp + 1134 prize xp = 6,750xp
Normal mode prize items raw stats: 8448 attack / 7338 defense
ELITE MODE
Absolute minimum possible energy*: 68,846 energy
My energy total: 108,253 energy
Estimated energy**: 106,434 energy
Absolute minimum XP*: 14,824xp + 1,890 reward XP = 16,714 xp
My XP total: 21,808 xp + 1,890 reward XP = 23,698 xp
Estimated XP**: 22,648xp + 1,890 reward XP = 24,538 xp
Elite mode prize items raw stats: 14515 attack / 14019 defense
*based on a miracle 100% drop rate.
**based on my total guesses at the drop rate - subject to change. If you know the correct drop rates, please let me know.
KEY: 5/180e/101xp = a job takes 5 hits, with each hit costing 180 energy and earning 101xp per hit.
I'll use that for now in the interest of saving time.
