2010 Canthan New Year Celebration
Lifeshield
Used around 60 fortunes and got 2 Celestial Tigers.

After 604 Fortunes, I got ZERO tigers. Immensely frustrating as I'd done the quests on 13 characters. If it wasn't for the generosity of a fellow guildee I'd still be tigerless now.
Surely there must be a better way to even out the tigers (lots of people report more than 4 tigers), so that the really really unlucky people don't have to open 1000's of fortunes to get one.

Last year I used 700 and a few fortunes and didn't get an ox. This year, I got a tiger on my 2nd fortune. I didn't bother trying for more and just sold all my other tokens. Better than clicking until my fingers hurt for questionable reward. Made 55 ecto all in all, running 20 characters through all the quests, 2 at a time.

I just wish they implemented progressive droprate for thesse event things (= with every 'fail' chance you get one increases untill you get one, then it resets to 0.3%).

My favorite event! Too bad I missed most of it, but still got a top 100 time in rollerbeetling, now to get a celestial tiger, used 100 fortunes so far...

So that the CNY quests, and doing well at PvP still give the most tokens/hour... but killing stuff in PvE gives more tokens/hour than doing Dragon Nest in a district where nobody else is playing :-P

Well I did a couple of rounds of raptor farming but I only got 2 tokens in about 20 runs.

But you get about a 100 tokens an hour for going to a Shing Jea district where nobody is playing Dragon Nest... and doing no more than:
1. Click NPC to enter Dragon Nest alone
2. AFK a few minutes
3. Repeat from 1.

Why were people paying so much for tokens anyway...
I mean, you can get Red Gift Bags and Lunar Fortunes with them.
Expected value for Red Gift Bags is about 337g if we price sweets/party points at 125g, so about 67g per token.
Expected value for Lunar Fortunes if the price of a tiger is 40k is about 207g, so about 69g per token.
Why are people paying 30k for stacks (120g per token)??

For me, the chance of getting a celestial mini from a Lunar Fortune is "meh" and no reflection of the value of a Lunar Fortune. What makes them useful/valuable to me, is the chance of getting +1 to all attributes until I rezone. And you have to use 10 Fortunes on average, to get one Lunar Blessing. (Add Candy Corn, Golden Egg and Grail... in some places, running around with +4 to all attributes is awesome).

Out of 170 fortunes I got no tigers. Not going to waste my money buying one either.

woot i got 3 tigers from about 500+ lunar fortunes.... all quest rewarded, didn't buy any stacks. :P .... part of the festival is doing the same quest-chain 11 times for your 11 characters... ieieieie... after awhile, you just stop caring about the hopeless romantic.
Death By An Arrow

I stopped after 230 fortunes and no tiger. I just got frustrated and bought one instead. No big deal... Yeah, I could have made some money selling any extra tigers if I had gotten more than one, but I'll make do some other way. Perhaps next year I'll be luckier.

On Sunday night, at the last feast, I got 20 lunar tokens from red bags, and traded them for six lunar fortunes. I go outside, and BOOM, a Tiger on the first one! I laughed until it hurt...
The sad part is that from doing all of the festival quests on 18 characters, and turning in a ton of ingredients at the feasts, I burned through almost two stacks without a single Tiger. This, of course, I did before my "six fortune Tiger," which is why I found that event so hilarious.
It just goes to show that you can never tell when fate is going to reach out and bite you in the butt!

~325 Fortunes, 1 Tiger. Good enough for me.

Out of exactly 680 fortunes, got 4 tigers (recorded every fortune trip lol). Keeping one for myself, and extras for investment purposes. Got addictive at one point though, probably bought 2 token stacks with no luck, so next year I'll just use the fortunes I get from my characters.

Enjoyed the event! I think my computer is happy now that it is over though because GW isn't running the whole time lol. But once again, a fun weekend when not afk.
I got around 200 fortunes and no tiger... so I just bought one instead.

Well Goodbye Canthan new year weekend, it was a blast, still wish the dragon arenas could stay. Thank you for all the parties, event hosting, and keep your lucky tigers with you. Rawr

I like the CNY event too OP. I have no idea how this thread turned into a fortunes and tiger drop-rate thread though. That thread is here.
