Lillend - a safe way to get Lightfoot Thief?

Could somebody confirm that if you beat an epic dungeon using a Lillend, you have a much increased chance of getting a Lightfoot Thief? I have noticed them being bought out from auction house rapidly (currently only 16 bids for a Lillend on AH). They're also quickly increasing in price.
Did somebody here get the Lightfoot Thief and was using a Lillend in boss battle?
If so, did they get more than one Lightfoot Thief this way? I mean is there a 1 Lightfoot Thief minimum because it's worth a lot and I don't know if it's better to sell it for a small AD fortune (I've heard some sold it for 8+ mil AD) and try to get another, or to keep it and get heaps of extra damage (how much damage exactly is it? I've read somewhere that if it's upgraded to epic it gives a x5 stack instead of 3).

As far as lillend's increasing in price. That is to be expected since the event where lillend drops is no longer running so no new lillends are dropping.
Edit: You asked about how much damage the lightfoot thief's active bonus. At level 60 it does 68 damage per tick with a blue quality thief and 114 damage per tick with a purple quality. But it looks like that will changing with mod 3. I noticed currently on the preview server it is affected by damage resistance while currently on live it isn't.
Ah, thank you for the info. So basically it's a huge DPS boost, especially in long dungeons, like Castle Never?
If you use all 3 of my Lillend healer companions that is a 900% increase, which is nearly equal to a nearly certain drop of the Lightfoot thief. He is just around the corner!
Contact me in game via mail for trade arrangements, but in order to even consider reading your mail it is advised to attach to your mail a full set of HV armor.
Looking forward to trade with you!
I believe you, really.
The thing is when you're asking questions like that, there may someone who does and it's just a coincidence. Lillends also see, around the same price to me.
The only thing that matters is luck. I wish I could see a screenie with the companion's drop though...
WTB Class Reroll please
Certainly those trained in the art of mathematics might have an advantage. But then again, knowing thy rules for calculation does not necessarily give you an advantage in people!
This is not an official information, though.
Did you use Lillend in boss battle?
Slyph
Ioun Stone of Allure
Wererat Thief
Panther
all at lvl 30.
You can get it more than once, but given the low droprate it is going to take a while.
Thanks for the info, man!

I wish they did. Vagueness in this game is one thing I don't like. And when they sell keys/boosters and you have no idea what the odds of getting anything is. I find it a little deceptive as theoretically they could have the epic/legendary items drop in 1 in a million and they still claim that it drops and people will still buy them not knowing the chances they have and so make more money than they should. Of course it's not 1 in a million chances, but it's the principle that it could happen and we wouldn't really know about it. The same goes for in game drop rates that can make things a little more frustrating than they could be.
With the bad rng 1% can still take multiple hundreds of runs to get it, of course that doesn't mean it could be less or that we would find out. Kind of glad I didn't invest too much time into SCA though.
So what's the chance to get a Lightfoot Thief? From what many people in this forum said it's extremely low (some say it's 1%). If a Lillend increaces that chance it means that you won't have to try hard to get a companion that adds loads of damage and is currently priced for ~8 million AD on auction house. It's obvious that if someone used Lillend to get Lightfoot Thief easy will try to deny that it works because it would ruin their business. Is there a mod here that could confirm the odds of getting a Lightfoot Thief with a Lillend? Are they much higher that with using other companions or is it because it's a Leader companion and that gives Lillend a boost to get better loot?
Nevertheless, would like to buy my highly motivated Lillend companions be sure to stick to the rules I described on page 1 of this thread.
Anyway people who say it's 1% are really just guessing since being a rare drop they don't see it as being any higher and 1 is a nice round number, although it could be lower. I'd drop the lillend chance increase rate. With a no higher than 1% drop rate it's going to be hard to get the numbers to prove that, and the fact that lillend is rare makes it even harder. It's either a rumour made out of ill informed pattern making or a rumour to trick the gullible (which can be fun
No, if you happen to get one, it could be just because you got one. Not because of some BS rumor about lillends increasing droprate on thieves.
No you won't, you'll see that superstition isn't the exclusive preserve of major world religions.
I heard that if you have two different ioun stones, one called "Jake" and one called "Elwood", and you play SCA wearing shades, that you have an increased chance for the Lightfoot Thief to drop.
Lets say 100 people have lillend and the lightfoot was 1% drop rate. It's reasonably likely that one of them will get it on the first run anyway. You're just a statistic and it takes a lot of numbers to get any real idea of drop rates. Numbers that are hard for a single player to gather. Superstition is just based on coincidences people have falsely made.
The hard part is to get to that boss with only 3 epic companions.
