Celestial Rat.
Gli
Doing 150 tokens worth of quests on 6 characters so far, I still didn't get a rat. That's 300 fortunes, for the mathematically impaired. 3 characters to go.

150 tokens worth of quest times 6 characters = 900 tokens = 300 fortunes.

I got the rat doing the quests for the 3rd time with my ranger.

150 fortunes, no rat. Not enough piggehs for trade so no celestials full stop. 
This isn't really making me feel like farming ingredients for the chefs all weekend.

Ive done almost 400 and I made my wife do 300 before she cooked my meal

and still no rodent.

10 characters and 350 fortunes later...third last fortune and a rat finally dropped. The drop rate stats appear to be the same as last year (0.33%).
Good luck rat-hunters, my festival grind is over

I opened over 200 fortunes with no rat. Lucky me!

My first lunar fortune dropped a rat ^^ It's quite cute 
Dante the Warlord
Hey just curious but did those of you who got the rat in 40 - 100 fortunes open them ALL at once? my hunch is that the lucky aura might have something to do with the drop rate of the mini...
Numa Pompilius
I've run out of quests and am no good at racing; is there any other way of obtaining reasonable numbers of lunar tokens?
I tried killing mobs, but I estimate I get one token per 100 killed mobs; it'd take me forever to farm enough fortunes to get a rat that way.

Free Runner
Opened 20 on my Ranger = No Rat
Opened 10 on my Mesmer = No Rat
Had one token on my Necro, went and played RPS and won a fortune and blue drink. Though i might aswell open it. Complained on Guild Chat about probably not getting a rat until i'm into the 400s and...got a Rat with that one off fortune.

After reading through the topic, I feel guilty admitting that I got one rat on my third fortune, and another on my 15th. :\
Oh and Dante, I opened them all at once.

300+ fortunes, ratless still

I'm usually not that lucky, but I did manage to get one after about 100 fortunes. My wife opened around 80 and didn't get one yet.
Pan Head
this is so much BS...I dont like beetle race. Done quest till i am sick of running and no rat. Have a dent in my left mouse button from opening the stupid things and no dang rat.
500ish = 0 rat
party animal title going up rapid but would trade title for rat. lol

It's funny some of you are blaming ANET for your plain stupidity.
For those that still don't understand, or is aware, the probability of actually getting a rat from a Fortune is 1/300. With this in mind, you'd know when to consider yourselves lucky/unlucky.

@Sh1ver: And you know this how? The droprate for the minipig was about 0.4%, but Gaile stated droprate for minirat was increased to compensate for the fact that it's not awarded during finale like the minipig was. In heaps.
From what we've heard in this thread, I'd guess droprate is perhaps double that of the minipig, or roughly 1%.
EDIT: And at least I am not blaming ANet "for my plain stupidity". I reported having opened about 200 fortunes without getting a pig to help others estimate the odds. Right now I'm trying to find a way to farm tokens, as I've run out of quests and am a pretty poor racer.

Also, I haven't actually seen any official figures for drop rates, so how pray tell should I measure my stupidity? Oh wait... yes I should trawl the forums, wikis and official site to gather all the information I can before deciding whether to do the quests!
lol

I got my rat, after about 100 fortunes, so I'm ok. 
It could look better, but it's still awesome!

0 fortunes, 0 rats ?

Just give mega uber haxor hard quest with celestial rat as a reward, but it really needs to be hard, maybe quiz about GW lore or killing 100 monsters solo >.> With this, some people (like me :O) will have chance to get it :/
Plevron
Much like Free Runner on page 5- who opened one last fortune he had left on his necro and got one for those of you who don't know- every single fortune that you open COULD give you a rat! Just keep on trying like I did and you should get it!

It doesn't take a minute to go to the "History" of the article and see it's authors and editors. If you wish, you can also contact them.
I see that the Official Wiki has already been edited and the value removed. So maybe there is some truth what you mentioned Gaile stated.

No need. I do not doubt the 2007 drop rate estimate. |
