Reading this brings back memories of the old days - one in specific.

After clearing FoW with 2 guildies and a bunch of semi-balance heroes over the course of a few hours, we finished. I'd been holding out hope that all the shitty drops I'd gotten in FoW would hopefully, possibly be compensated by an at least decent drop from the endchest.

The endchest didn't give me anything. And I don't mean that it just gave me something shitty like a few diamonds, it literally gave me nothing. That was somewhat annoying.

My futility in the quest for mini's continues...

Celestial Rabbit, etc./wik/traveller minis:
GW = million err billions
ME = 0

Monies wasted 1-1.5million. Could be more since I haven't kept track with gott.

This time I went through close to 1200 lunar tokens to get just over 350 lunar fortunes and 0 rabbits out of them. The 1st batch of tokens went well with the 50% return off rock paper scissor. After that I noticed I wasn't even close to 50%. Last stack I traded in trader at probably the same ration sans blue sugary drink.

I like the randomness, but damn you gw.

Well, my only complain with drops is the outmoded system.

In my 5 years of playing, I only got 1 (ONE) maxed drop in Prophecies, and 4(Four) in Factions.

In prophecies, it was a +15%^Stance Foehammer.
In Factions, it was a pair of Dragon Kamas with +20%-50%HP, an amber wand, and amber staff and a jade bow.
Not once in my life I've found a shield or focus with maxed base and two maxed properties in the outmoded system. NOT ONCE.

That goes waaaay beyond statistics. That's just insane. The should inject more skin in prophecies and a few more in factions so we don't get the same long sword again and again, and update them all to the standard.

I got a mini Yakkington the second week that Nick was around. I'm pretty sure that was the game going "Here you go, some nice luck. Now we're done with you".

Best I've gotten since then is a few kegs and a Walking Stick.

~200 zkeys on the chest, and while I got some nice weapons, they were nice in terms of "I can use that for a character/hero", not "someone will buy that". Also a handful of elite tomes and a lockpick or two, but that's it.

Managed to get around 200 Lunar Fortunes together this year and didn't get a mini, was mostly afking Nine Rings though.

Been playing for 4 years and still haven't had the chance to add a Rare mini to my HoM, I swear, sometimes I think this game hates me.

May sound a little crazy, but I have 10 toons, one for each class. Three of them get all my lucky drops, the rest never get anything worth while. Don't know if its random or what class they are. My three lucky ones are monk, ele, and necro.

21 Birthday gifts so far. All whites.

I used to farm UW religiously back when 55/SS and 600/smite was common. My partners probably got 90% of the ecto drops. It was kind of a running joke with my farming friends that I would never get an ecto drop... Thank god for the 50/50 split.

A few years ago (back when chest runs in FoW were regular activities) I remember having a 16AR Q8 shadow shield drop out of a chest, and then the guy behind me brought his mass mob of foes along with him, i got knocked down and then slow hexed. So the guy who brought the mob was off safely, my drop was by my corpse, and he stood and waited until it was free for him to pick up.

worst chest run ever.

Got these just a bit ago. Not only r13, but they aren't even max. Don't remember getting non-max weapons before.

I killed an Aatxe and it dropped an ecto. Unfortunately, the other Aatxe decided it wanted that ecto for itself, ignored my spirits and went for me instead.

worst chest run ever.
That's why when people leave the game all their drops should go with them like what happens in missions. People are dirty and don't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Things like that shouldnt happen. It leaves a bad taste in people's mouths and promotes bad sportsmanship. When we use to chest run fow, I would always try to rez or get people their golds if possible. Didn't care if it was low chaos axe or a high shadow bow.

Still no yaks, vds (i will buy one), or anything besides rocks and party points. Another few dozen zkeys and nada. Almost done either way. My hall is short a weapon and a few statues.

Edit: Noticed some trollsmanship going on. At least make it amusing. Be moar creative trolls instead of ho hum weak sauce trolls. Kthx

Normally I get a ton of alcohol from Nicholas gifts. Now that I've decided I'm going to get Drunkard, I haven't gotten a single ale from him.
