today i met a kind lady by the name of MeilynAzumi on Santuary server. b:thanks

she sold me 15 gold worth of battle pet packs at 50k per pack. isn't she nice?? b:pleased

ok, cut story short. i opened all 30 of them, and guess what?

13... THIRTEEN of the FREAKING battle pet packs gave "pack of 10". b:sad b:cry

if i had bought the packs at the going gold price, which is 150k-200k now, i may be balded by now...

so is 40% abt the right percentage for "pack of 10"? i only got one, ONCE "pack of 50". so that's around 5% chance to get 50?

anyone familiar with the trade of "source/feather" would like to comment?

    Well, I always averaged 1.7k per SoF/Feather when I bought gold at 100k per. Maybe you just got really really crappy luck?

    it's best to wait 30-1 min between opening each package.
    Something tells me the server is dicing a random number at a certain pace.

    Why? well I got 3x oracle III's in 3 packages, I opened them in 10 seconds.

    About 26% are supposed to give a pack of 10. You got unlucky. Overall average is 26.8 per pack, with a total average of 373 packs needed.

    thanks for the reply. the reason i made this post is because this is not the first time i get such unlucky average price of source/feather. the previous time i bought 36 packs, first 10 packs i opened, 8 of them are "pack of 10"s...

    it averaged out to be around 40%, but "pack of 50" was around 10%...

    well, maybe just cause i'm called Ripokeke... i got my first estasy card after the 14th(or was that 18th?) sadness card, which was said to be 10% chance...

    CAN A GM CHANGE MY LUCK STATS BY NOW?? b:angry b:angry
