So. Today I get asked to run eLoL so I go and when I open second chest imagine my surprise when I opened it and found the fifth book for the ToD campaign boon in it. I nearly spilt coffee over my pc when I saw that in there.
We start a new run, I open the 2nd chest and there is the horn artifact in it. By this time the group is all wtf is going on, but wait that's not all.
Fourth run, and I open second chest again, this time there is the dex belt in it.
So, 4 eLoL runs and artifact, dex belt, and boon book - the RNG gods were definately smiling on me today. I am usually never this lucky and I've done a LOT of eLoL runs with
HAMSTER loot too
This thread was kind of a response to a person who said he wished he'd open a thread and it would say someone got the boon book out of the chest - if you have been similarly super lucky post it here xD Lets reassure people the drops do actually exist
May the RNG Gods smile on you today!

Congratulations!!
2 Gems, 3 gems lost in Bugged Arcane Chest.
RNG still hates me
Please give us a belt after 500/1000 Lostmauth kills !
But congrats... that is no small feat to achieve
Undoubtedly I will never get a good drop again, but for those few days, I felt like the chosen one.
Gratz to you OP!
i did around 500~skirmishes and i ve got only 3 dragon gems :P
I think ive done probably 50 or so eLoL runs and prob 100 or so skirm and usually get the rank 5 and ID scroll too - Apparently though you just need to get the RNG gods to favour you
And, thats very nice LyrcraGirl! - Its always good when things gor your way xD

ok, Akro, relog back - we've recognized you
anyway, gratz. hope there will be more positive info like this one!
and keep running, man, just don't stop
today 50 preservations for a rank 7 just saying !
and these stories are not something news i can name at least 5 people with the same "luck" of the OP
I can assure you I am not akro whoever that may be
I am Mara, a 32 yo female from australia, so pretty sure that I am not he. (or she).
Anyway just though I'd clear that up lol.

Both her and Akromatic are on my friends list and are indeed different people.
Once again Grats and **** you...haha.
ok then i need to stop with those allegories lol
i was referring to our community manager since such type of luck is out of order for a regular player lol
australia is great. a friend of mine works there and can't be more happy
hope your winning streak will continue
You're doing it wrong. It's Halflings you need to sacrifice to the RNG gods
My friend had the same run of luck in doing his first five or so runs of eLoL. First run he gets the book, second run the Horn artifact, third run CON artifact belt and fifth run Waters.
My luck also arrived in spurts, with nothing of substance in the SoT chests for the first two weeks before I got the CON artifact belt, CHA artifact belt and book all in one day after about 1000 runs.
The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
Oh right lol - Akromatic
And yes - which is why I though I would post it here and other with similar luck can post, as many people have done here - grats to you all!
Maybe this way we can give those players still grinding away some light at the end of the tunnel so to speak xD
And, Thanks - may the RNG gods smile on you next!
*cowers* I am a halfling
Please dont eat me, I am cute and cuddly I promise xD
As for SoT - I've really only run epic version of that. However I actually got lucky there too - I also got a dragon gem and the dragon bone as well both of which I was missing to make my artifact weapon. Which coincidentally, Was due to complete that day. This allowed me to start my artifact weapon as soon as I unlocked the task, and when I opened the chest I again got the weapon I wanted on my first try...
AND, even more oddly the day I got the drops I said in the OP, was the day I finally had enough currency to buy a boon book, the book drop allowed me to finish ToD that day.
So I do seem to get lucky when it counts... OTOH, it took 37 val kills before she gave me the dread legion chest xD
May the RNG Gods smile on you this day :P

Consider you had a veeeeryyy lucky day by getting a drop with 0.00001% chance. Once in a year lol.
Well, this explains why u had to tell us , the correct thread subject should be : "It's about time" - some players has about 200 runs without a chance for something nice.
I have a decent gear score but i still run T1 and T2 dungeons from time to time to observe the drop rates and chances since open beta , all i discovered an aggressive lowering drop rate.
Still best expansions/campaigns since game started ? sharandar and dread ring, anything else is laggy, buggy with 0.5% chance (average chinese games chances) for something .(pretty much anything related to encounters - kinda new PWE content, since PWE has bought cryptic for 50 mil euros from atari in 2011, so the original(vanilla) neverwinter has only sharandar and i think the dread ring)
No wonder why players doesn't make anymore guardian fighters, only DPS chars, because encounter drop chances are based on damage dealt (just like that X interface seen after defeating a dungeon boss with damage dealt, damage taken...), and guardian fighter has no signifiant damage. Encounters unfair for tankers.
