[quote="IPHIOS"]I can't complain anymore. Had an unreal bout of luck recently with presents!! ;o[/quote]

[quote="KING"]You're uber level, you don't count. :~p[/quote]

[quote="JARAGOONDOO"]I think you're just unlucky, King. 1 hunt at ABs (2 hours) got me about 10 small presents, 6 medium and 3 large.[/quote]

[quote="TOLIC"]ive not had much luck, first night of event I had 2 large and about 9 mediums since then ive had 0 large about 4 mediums and aload of smalls ;[ bad luck for me im thinking lol[/quote]

[quote="CARNAGE"][quote="JARAGOONDOO"]I think you're just unlucky, King. 1 hunt at ABs (2 hours) got me about 10 small presents, 6 medium and 3 large.[/quote] This pretty much backs up what I've been thinking about how this event affects people hunting high hp mobs lol. [/quote]

[quote="HARLEY"]I had one of each size hunting at the wraith pit today, about 4 hours in all. Took all 3 to the elf and exchanged sml, med then large and got 3 gems - sml prezzie = sml sapphire, med prezzie = med amethyst, and large prezzie = a small diamond. Was wondering if this was the way to unwrap them to get gems as I did, or is it just completely random and I was lucky?[/quote]

[quote="KING"][quote="JARAGOONDOO"]I think you're just unlucky, King. 1 hunt at ABs (2 hours) got me about 10 small presents, 6 medium and 3 large.[/quote] Again, that's DSoma and high level mobs. I can't talk about those rates. Many HSoma players I've been speaking to have had the same problems. The amount of presents you found in just 2 hours is insane by comparison, 19 presents in 24 hours is unheard of (from the feedback I've had), let alone 2 hours. If the rates are significantly higher for high level players / hunting areas, that may be the issue. My luck is pretty good, as previously mentioned I had found 2 Intense items and an AT in the time it took to find 3 presents. If we use HARLEY (HSoma) as an example, who posted above, he found 3 presents in 4 hours. That actually seems like a good result by measure of other players experience over the same time. By comparison your rate was approximately 12x as great. IPHIOS, are you getting 20-ish presents in 2 hours?[/quote]

[quote="CARNAGE"][quote="KING"]19 presents in 24 hours is unheard of (from the feedback I've had), let alone 2 hours. If the rates are significantly higher for high level players / hunting areas, that may be the issue.[/quote] In my opinion it's more to do with how quickly the mobs die, I hunt war beast miner the mob has 8000hp I'm lucky to walk away with 3 or 4 small presents for the entire day which isn't anything useful anyway.[/quote]

[quote="KING"]Now that rate seems a little more like it, only it's happening on fast kill mobs too. HARLEY is in the Wraith pit and hundreds of those are killed in a hunt. I'm going to experiment on another mob for several hours today (which gives me stats) and see if the results vary. UPDATE (6AM GMT): Bit of a side hunt, but had to report the results. A little over 4 hours hunting for bones in Dungeon, I accumulated 94 bones (hundreds of kills) and found 1 Small Present. Now this is where things get very confusing and I'm being completely honest here... I got a Medium Present from a Giant Spider Whelp. Yes, a 1 hit kill mob that gives me no stats (aside skill I guess?).[/quote]

[quote="RAZOR"]At wraith pit, each hunt (2-3 hours) I get about 5 small presents, 1 medium and/or 1 large. Has happened a couple of runs now. On my Dsoma char I've had 1small and 1 medium/large each hunt. Still only had christmas pots and shout scrolls though! Need some more luck with the elf.[/quote]
