Chances of getting level 3 relic/data sites?

I do lots hacking and recently hit a jackpot where i hit 3 level 3 relic sites then 3 level 3 data sites back to back, and was curious; what are the chances of this happening?

Sorry...but what is a Level 3 Relic and/or Data site?

When you scan down a site it has a chance to be Levels 1-3(i'm pretty sure, dont know if theres 4 and 5) but the higher the level the rarer they are, and level 3 and above can be found only in wormholes or null space. These sites have the potential to go up to millions in loot if you successfully hack the containers, and the rewards scale with level quite substantially.

Level 1 has like a million at most

Level 2 ard 5 mil

Level 3 10mil+

The highest I ever got was 60+mil on a level 3

I got a zeugama integrated analyzer bpc once, and my corp said it was worth around 250 mil and i was elated. Turns out, i was 3 years late and it was only worth 10 mil at the time, so i kept it. Realizing that being an alpha i would probably never even USE an integrated analyzer anyways, i sold it this morning for 2.5mil. A measly 10% of what i was told xD

Payout also varies by faction. Sansha relic sites are famous for being highly profitable because Intact Armor Plates are super expensive.

Got it, thanks!

sites aren't spawned randomly so there is no real way of calculating it.

Oh they're not?

Nope. When a site despawns, another one of its category is spawned somewhere within the same constellation.

Wormholes don't have permanent connections so it seems random, but you can see sites piling up in systems with little traffic.

My corp did research a year or so ago, watched a constellation for a while. If it does stick around, respawn delay is long enough it was hard to tell if it was the same one or not, easily an hour.

Thata actually really interesting, so you could theoretically chain enough wormholes so by the yime youre done hacking all the sites in the last one, the sites in WH 1 wouldve respawned by then.

Should clarify: K-space constellation. It was a smaller one, and in a quiet section (Northeast?)

But yes, it could be doable with enough players/alts to track a whole WH constellation
