It's not a 1% chance, it's aboout a 0.33% chance, according to Wiki, anyway. Just thought I'd make you feel better. o.O

About 400 fortunes and I have one for myself, one for my boyfriend and an extra I've already offered to someone on the forums.

I wish it had been a rattie looking rat, not a see through starry rat. Nothing can rival my pet rats in cute but it'll do.

Got a set of 250 tokens.. 1 rat (which i sold with 10k profit)
Then bought another set of tokens.. (84 fortunes).. and another rat after the 4th.. That rat is for my guildie who keeps not getting one, so ill give him that as a present..

So thats my 3rd rat after opening.. a lot of fortunes.. ><

My insight never fails. Finished all quests on a total of 5 characters: No rat. Although I did make around 200 points in Party Animal with all the fireworks I've been getting.

Doing the math, I have opened over 500 Lunar fortunes. According the chances from Wiki, I should have 1.65 Miniature Celestial Rats (0.33% of 500). I have four.

You people should try wearing red, it's the lucky colour. All four of my Miniature Celestial Rats were obtained on my characters who wear red.

I doubt it makes a difference. I've now got my second one after 200 fortunes, and both were on characters that had not a single red dye in their outfit.

That's why I said try. I'm not saying it will guarantee them a Miniature Celestial Rat, but it can't hurt to try.

Since my main character wears all red and his guild tag is RED and his last name is Rhedd, I wonder if opening 1 fortune if a ton of rats will explode from it.
Also if fortunes can possess you or contain a rat, we should find the factory that makes them and do a health inspection. XD

This is ANet's way of improving drop rates?

Last Year: 0.2% Drop Rate
This Year: Random Chance

Yeah, that's MUCH improved...

well, after 250 tokens used on fortunes and NO stinking rat, plus the 5/1 pig exchange which i cant meet this is offically the crappiest event i have ever been a part of.

Thanks for nothing Anet.

HaHa (seems odd how 5 is the magic number). now remember. no kindness. you must keep them in storage, for at least a year. because there might be a possible trade in for a non-celestial rat next year.

313 fortunes and no pet. No new mask, same crap games with new ways to cheat. Anet really outdid themselves this year. I am nearly ashamed to be a GW player now after seeing the superior greed of the common fanbase. Not to mention the additude shown this event. thousands of insulting lol's and lmao's at the misfortune of others.

Be proud GW community.

well I collected another 250 and opened them all at once wearing the red-est thing I own (its pink)....and on 58 I got one, then got another on 134...made a ton of plat and got enough party stuff for my monk to get level 1. I am happier now....though the hat and the 'guildhall only' fireworks have me miffed.....but I guess they just dont have time to do new things for the game that is still running.

250 opened on my war...nothing.

8 opened on my para, 2.

50 on my rit...1.

Pretty good odds. Now I'm going for gift bags for higher return on a title.

nah, I feel your pain (opened up about 600 too without a rat)
and there is this one person in the guild with 3 rats out of 50 fortunes...
and now there is no sure way to get a rat at the festival either except for buying one...
