    Increased lootbox droprate.. right now?

    By weekend, do you mean right now untill sunday? Because some countries don't count friday as weekend. Just wondering wether I should go crazy farm right now or not.


    EDIT: Okay, let me rephrase the question.

    Will this be in effect starting this Friday US time or Saturday?

    Well, considering it's still thursday in the U.S., I'd say not right now, no.

    Re: Increased lootbox droprate.. right now?

    I do wonder, though, that although the number of boxes and keys might increase the quality of the rewards might have been adjusted temporarily or permanently?

    eg (and just to use round figures) if the drop rate for a horse from a box was 5% prior to this weekend would it be dropped to perhaps 2% over the weekend? Or if the drop rate for WSOTEK was 2% prior to weekend would it now be 1%?

    I think over all it's great we get more gifts, and let's face it something for nothing if you don't buy the keys from the store but given the uproar and controversy of the current drop rate (or supposedly) of best items I do wonder. I suspect they might up the rate of the horses and temp drop the rate of WSOTEK.

    Im going to guess the box drop rate will much higher than the key rate to increase store sales. Only time will tell though.

    Stop doing that. It's against the code of conduct to "bump" posts. And really, it's just plain rude. The freaklin' announcement says "this weekend". The weekend is Saturday and Sunday. It probably will start Friday night, but really, does it matter? Are you going to change your life around for a chance at a lootbox?

    Anything that brings me closer to a WSOC or anything that helps get 2nd or 1st age weapon is OK in my book, although I reckon my chances are nil. I'll just have to keep farming sigils and dribble them on to the AH to keep the price high

    Reading the notes for the live testing of update 6 it seems they will be barter items in the main game soon anyway.

    The Worn Symbol of Celebrimbor will be a barter item on the skirmish vendors. The Symbol of the Elder King will not. So you can get the parts for a second age, but not a first age, from the skirmish vendors.

    I'm also wondering when this is supposed to start. Today (being Friday?) or will it be Saturday and Sunday US time only? And until what times? It would be nice to know, not that it will affect what I'll be doing. I've got deeds to grind anyways for the upcoming increase in virtures to 14.

    I too, would like to know when this starts and ends. Unlike Treasure Hunt type events, we can't just see the stable guy go away and know it's over

    I find minimods much ruder than bump posts. I agree that bumping is against the forum ToS, but there was really no reason for you to respond in this manner.

    The announcement does say this weekend, but 'weekend' means different things to different people. It does matter. Some people will be making slight alterations to their plans based on this event.

    To answer the question, yes, the event is enabled right now! Good luck finding those lootboxes and keys!

    To answer the moderation question, yes, don't bump your posts because it's a violation. You're lucky my hammer's behind me and I'm too tired to turn around to get it, so consider this a warning. ;D
