Story time: before I did the sarnak courier last year I tallied all the player submitted results on its page and ended up with an average of ~8 hours and 24 couriers for 1 ring. Took me 8.5h and 26 couriers heh, pretty close. People claim it is a 1% deal, seems more like 3% (but I didn't change it!). Granted, not many pages have that many player entries, if any.
A 100 coin flip will have about 4% variance either way, in the worst case. Most mobs are not 50% but more like 20-25% so more room for mistakes but I don't think anyone would sweat a 5% off spawn percentage, still gives you a good idea. Most camps I've done 40-80 mobs that I kept track of were within 3% of the wiki number so it was interesting to see the wiki being mostly accurate on that front. Of course, mobs with <10% spawn rate will require a lot more data to make an accurate statement.
I respect the wiki enough not to change anything willy nilly but that being said, a lot of the damage ranges are off, same for most AC values from what I understand. I've seen some mob HPs off and a lot of bogus loot tables so I don't view the wiki as a temple of accuracy that must be preserved in its pristine form either.
