TOPIC: Treasure draw bad luck continues

Anyone know if Ducks of Doom were considered 1% items? I seriously doubt it since I pulled 12, but I would just like conformation.

If they were then it's clearly not 1% anymore. The duck rate alone was probably 2-3% on its own.

I'm betting the ducks were just counted as rares. At least that's how I treated them.

Also, potion of distilled healing is much less desirable with the greater alchemist pouch. 10 +1 healing potions are actually worth 20hp, while the distilled healing is only worth 11. Maybe it's a necessary boost in the middle of combat, but generally it's not a fair trade. I hope they consider this with the condensed packs. I'd rather have the 1 pt healing potions unless they throw in an extra distilled healing.

Eh. Distilled Healing Potions get recycled, so they will obviously have a higher quantity.

In fact, I explicitly set aside consumable Transmutables used during Grind, from this year and the prior, so that I can directly give it to Dave and he can reuse it for transmutation.

About the only thing we pulled for 1%'s were 2-3 potions of distilled healing and nothing else interesting came out of the box. WE had far less treasure pulls to work with this year since I ended up only doing 2 runs plus a grind and everyone else missed at least one too. It was a hectic sort of convention all around.

Well that's what you get for prioritizing Nascrag over TD!

Fourth was a fleece which was nice.

(400ish pulls)

3 out of your 4 "other" draws being Potion of Distilled Healing?

I actually wanted to do the dungeon. So did Richard. Melissa wanted to do Nascrag. You can see how the voting worked out there. At first I floated the idea that I would run TD and they could do nascrag but they didn't want to run it without me and so I sort of got stuck. It's the first year I haven't seen all the TD dungeons in years and years. Probably all the way back to 2005 or so.

Yeah I had 25 so I hope they were not the 1% either.

It's one thing when one spouse is whipped. It's an entirely different thing when friends (outside of the marriage) become whipped as well!

Wait! Does that mean you and Richard didn't get full XP? There are plenty of people dying to climb the XP ladders, preferably over your bodies!

But... was it worth it?

I mean, NASCRAG Champions? How often does that happen?

I think you might just owe Melissa a beer.

At the time I figured the chances of us even getting into the top half of the teams were about on par with a fart surviving in a tornado. Even after the run went pretty well my loftiest goal was simply to get 4th or 5th place. It never even entered my mind that winning was even possible.

I did pretty good on my draws. Out of 21 draws for 3 runs. I got a 1000+gp of gold, two of each monster part except carrion crawler, got 3 of those. And some random minor stuff.
