TOPIC: skull of doom use?

<br />And don't forget that you are basically heaving an evil artifact around to do damage.<br /><br />That might actually come back to haunt you at some point...<br />

<br /><br />That's the second time I heard you mention that...... <br />but would the Morally flexible rogue have a Huge issue with that?

<br />And don't forget that you are basically heaving an evil artifact around to do damage.<br /><br />That might actually come back to haunt you at some point...<br />

<br /><br /><br />Um, wouldn't the Dagger of Venom, Ring of Iuz, and Drow Blade Venom be considered "evil" as well? And the Hand of Glory is rather gruesome too.

<br /><br />Yes, but I daresay that only the HoG and Ring of Iuz would be considered 'artifacts' per se and artifacts are semi-notorious for having/developing minds of their own at the worst times.

Yay for fellow vball player!!!  Hmmmm that would be a rather dangerous game of vball if played with a skull of doom or an orb of acid.  Ouch!

<br /><br />Yes, but I daresay that only the HoG and Ring of Iuz would be considered 'artifacts' per se and artifacts are semi-notorious for having/developing minds of their own at the worst times.<br />

<br /><br />Yikes - let's hope the HoP doesn't develop a personality...<br />

<br /><br />My HoP's have shown a very stubborn streak for not giving me any PURP's in my token draws, but I'm trying to change their minds  =)

Hmmm.<br /><br />1% of all bags of tokens contain a purple. If we assume (and I'm sure this is a large asumption) that Jeff tries to keep a similar ratio in the draws then what we have is a mean of 100 tokens per purple. Assuming you maximized your horn and got every treasure draw, it'd be 6 extra tokens per run, yielding an average of 1 purp draw every 17 runs. Since it's unlikely that you could max every run, a far more likely numebr of bonus tokens would be 3-4 per if you used the HoP each time. That would give us a purp every 29 runs on average.<br /><br />Lets see...HoPs came out in 07, right? So there's been 2 gencon indy's, 1 gencon socal, and 1 true realm. Even with only maximized runs, you would need to go through 4-5 runs per event to even reach the lowest threshold for liklihood of a purp. Drop it down to 3-4 bonus tokens and we're looking at 7-8 runs per event.<br /><br />All in all, I don't think anyone who hasn't gotten a purp yet has to worry that the odds are futzing with them as far as bonus HoP draws go.

<br /><br /><br />Eh, I doubt the same ratio is in the draws.<br /><br />If you recall, there were only 4 Purples deposited for True Realm (but well over 400 tokens total).<br /><br />In fact, JimC and I each had about 50 draws individually (neither of us get any Purples). So that's already 100 draws from only 2 people. (I did 7 runs and had the Horn of Plenty).<br />

Well, it's actually 1% of all bags contain a UR. Each bag contains 10 so the chances per token is one tenth of 1 percent or one draw in 1000. That would be the true ratio I guess. I advanced it up to 1% since the boxes seemed to be just reds and ingredients for the most part but that was probably not right. So I guess we would need 1000 draws to get 1 purp on average.

I wonder if the ratios were the same both days.  We did all of our draws on Saturday - maybe all the cool PURPs had been pulled out by then, and the boxes replenished with just Rares & Ingredients?  <br /><br />I wonder if it would be incentive for people to do more runs at True Realm if Jeff threw one Golden Ticket for GENCON in the token box...  =)

I saw better draws on SAT...1-2 boots of warmpth, and 1-2 PURPS...can't remember what they were.<br /><br />I also had better ingredient draws on SAT.

I did get really good Ingredient pulls from the boxes, can't complain there.  I think it was VERY generous of Jeff not to put commons or uncommons in the boxes.  I think we pulled a Censer of Sacrifice and maybe a Goblet of Healing out of the boxes too (out of maybe 100 token pulls from our group).  We'd have had a lot more Token Pulls, but our group bought about 12 of the Mugs, 1 or 2 for everyone  =)
