Sylpheed Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Got the first two triple voyages out the way for the final plate and lacquer one. Pain in the ass waiting for it to show up. Sitting on 60 plate and lacquer at the moment with sup Tetsu legs already made. Got the first two trios back to back now waiting two weeks for the finale to show up >.> That sucks. Not to rub salt in the wound or anything but I just sent out the last voyage at 59%. I'm not too hopeful but if it does succeed I'll be pretty close to full Tetsu and Death Lotus. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allmonkey Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Still a huge lack of oxhorse/headface in the crew, with my luck I'll manage to get all 3 superior armour sets before getting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoko Kurama Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I accidentally ran over a Oxhead today; by that I mean I rerolled it. Not I had any intention of changing my crew (I currently have 2 Oxheads). Oh well. Also, I am at 25 scroll pieces (all armours, naturally). I had 2 scroll pieces last night which I got thanks to an adventurer reroll. Today I had no scroll missions, it seems that despite having 4 scroll totems, the pattern is I get a scroll mission one day, then none for 1-2 days, then another scroll mission. Meh. I also had my first trio-storyline the other day (finally!) but I opted for the scroll instead. No trio today. I also get regular days where I only get 1 adventurer. I still need plenty more trade-goods, and the missions need to be made far more frequent (the standard ones for 5 each). It's ridiculous thinking how many months it's going to take me in the end. Also, now that I have gotten my crew all settled, and all the port upgrades and ship upgrades, there's literally nothing to do there. There are days I get no standard trade goods, no scrolls, no storylines, or adventurer trade goods missions. Why the [bleep] am I getting people like the Occult/Convict/Whaler with 700 steel?I don't need that, I need plates/chis/lacquers. Other days I get joint missions for Experience/steel. My 'Ports luck is awful. It's very dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpx Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'm fairly sure after the debacle with random events early on, they changed it to 1 per day. It'd be too much of a coincidence for this many people not to have gotten 2 on the same day. Anyway, with me still playing catch-up, finally managed to complete my fleet. At 22% trough bowl, it's been really painful not being able to upgrade things until now. 1 First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20.

toone Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I am pretty sure I've had 2 randoms on the same day after the nerf. It might be that the chance of getting another random on the same day is substantially lowered, just like the chance of getting an effigy is lower if you already have another effigy.

Sylpheed Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I don't know when they changed it, but it definitely wasn't originally like that.

muggiwhplar Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 There have been times when I log in to collect my 4 ships and after the 2nd ship I'll get a barmaid random. But instead of doing the random right away, I'll keep collecting from my other two ships. After that, I get another black marketer random which "overwrites" the barmaid.

chenw Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 I have a theory that the chance of getting a random is based on how many randoms you have done for that day. IE it is relatively easy to get multiple randoms if you didn't do them, but once you do it for that day, the chance of random drops drastically, if not becoming impossible. 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

Yoko Kurama Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Nerfing Randoms was the worst PoP update thus far. It was the only thing that made PoP bearable once you reach the Pincers. At least you could farm Adventurer rerolls and farm scrolls/trade goods that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
