#42, 44, 45, 78: 25e each

Eight useless dead staffs during my dead staff farm today, but a skeleton mesmer was kind enough to drop me this. Surprisingly I didn't have that mod combo yet, and it's even the rarer mod order which is always nice to see. A good day after all

Nope, it's all in your head.

You will find a lot of people agreeing with you. One thing they have in common is that they don't have the data to prove it.

the qualitiy of my drops

a semi usable OS shield

Both subjective and vague, thinking in those terms allows the psychological effect to happen, seeing patterns in randomness. The only prerequisite is a low probability for your preferred event. For the average hard mode chest, the probability of any gold dual mod shield (regardless of which mods) is around 0.6%, meaning you get one in every 158 chests on average. Then you further reduce your chances by only preferring certain mods (I wrote a little about that subject here). You can imagine, with your own weekly chest running rate, the difference between completely normal rng variation results in a "lucky" week with 10 good drops, or an "unlucky" stretch of 5 weeks or more. From my own chest running data, I can confirm Red's statement that there is no correlation between good drops and time spent on the run. I can also confirm that it really does feel as if my drops are better when starting a new type of run or farm

If anyone has further insights, I kindly ask them to also explain to me why I always end up in the slow line at the supermarket checkout, why it only rains during my weekends when I planned to be outside, and why the restaurant has always just run out of the menu item I really wanted...

I always wondered why the Elonian Blade doesn't come in the exotic skin, like the Elonian Daggers do. After all this time, I finally noticed the "sword" version does exist

Got dead staff 20/10 blood+fire for you

Quote from Foresta

20/18 is max for purple

Would like to see a q7 purple with 20% hsr.

Until then, don't merch.

Duration rounding is quite complicated, there is no easy single rule that predicts all cases. The wiki is wrong/incomplete on this subject (surprise surprise...)

What's definitely true:
- Effect durations are rounded to whole seconds
- Casting time durations are rounded to smaller than seconds (probably milliseconds)

For the rest, the rounding seems to depend on the source of modification. Rounding can be:
- always up
- always down
- half to even (which makes no sense at all but that's a different discussion)
- any of the above with the added requirement of at least 1 second difference
- additional rules when the result is 0 or 1 second

For example, let's compare a +20% enchanting weapon mod and the skill Blessed Aura at 6 DF also giving +20%. If you cast a 1-second enchant with Blessed Aura, the result is 1 s duration. But if you cast it with an enchanting mod, the result is 2 s. The enchanting mod has the requirement of at least adding 1 s to the original duration.

To complicate things further, when multiple sources are stacked, sometimes only the end result is rounded, and sometimes rounding is applied in between calculation as well.

The famous example of this is the infinite enchantment duration exploit, which works because the result of the Air effect is rounded before Mark is applied.

So in my experience, it's best to test each source in game, which fortunately is easy to do in most cases.

#2 & #20 50e each

These staffs have been gathering dust these past few months.

I've no clue about the prenerf market nowadays, is it worth trying to sell these? What ballpark or minimum price do you think?

1) q8 cockatrice

2) q8 inscribed

3) q11 inscribed

4) q8 wicked

Thanks for help!

Bluey some time ago inspired me to go for this achievement. I'm not a chest runner and it took some preparation to get the numbers right, so I'm proud of it

Also the final retain for this title got me a perfect purple sss!
