View Full Version : Proof that luck elixers arent needed to get lucky.

So I decided to blow 4 plat to get my vanities from the WF campaign. I made locked games and ran them alone. My first run I did Winter Village to get my snowflake wings (OMG I love them so) and I figured eh why not kill the boss, heck I might get lucky.

So I killed the snowmen without much trouble and freed my last elf. Knowing that my vanity quest was accomplished I proceded beat the snot out of The Killjoy. Tbh I was expecting a green and hoping for a purp to save me some gold in the long run. Finally The Killjoy fell to my toywand and to my surprise I had looted a Winter Fest Runner Sled, no daily elixer, no luck elixer, no big luck. This item has now replaced my merry festivel ornament (thank you sts for making level 10 WF items not have a stat requirement.)

No I do not have a screenie because I am on an unrooted android device but I have not given anyone on these forums a reason to doubt my honor, if you choose to not believe my lucky drop then that is your problem. I just figured I would let everyone out there know that it is still possible to get good drops without using the false power of an elixer.

That is all.

I see where you're coming from but I wouldn't say that's "proof." most would say you got extremely lucky and I would tend to agree with them. If you check cs for holiday pinks, theres alot but not too many...

I've done A LOT of runs today and have 19 pinks & 25 purples. Seems the drop rate is pretty high for WF. has been for me anyways.

I think lowlyspy is right to be honest i am not one of the lucky persons, i didnt got much good drops (expect from yesterday) but i think you dont need an elixir (of course it helps you a lot) to have luck and if i understood right he is just saying that its not required but hes not saying that it is worse or its same to farm with the elixir. I think if is completely right. Deadsoldiers

Thank you for actually reading the whole thing. That is exactly what I am saying, it may not be as easy without an elixer but you can still get a lucky drop regardless (i dont mean the "getting lucky" announcement from the elixer.)

So I decided I would get 1 winter pink. after 5 runs of 3 greens and 2 purples I decided PL doesn't love me so I grabbed a 100% reroll elix figuring it might actually save me money. But it still too me 7 more runs to get a pink. That would be 6 greens in a row if I were unelixed. I hate my life

Sorry to hear bud. Thats exactly why I limited myself to 2 runs until they do something about the 2 plat thing, I knew that getting lucky again was highly unlikely and the only reason I did the runs in the first place was for my vanities, the sled was just icing on the cake.

From what I've seen Lowly is correct. Pinks are beginning to drop like hotcakes. Prices are dropping and pinks are filling cs...and Im glad!

It's all luck of the draw at this point. Just cross your fingers and hope for the best.
