that rare moment when RNGesus loves you!

We all know this game is horrendous with RNG. But to make ya'll feel better (mainly for me ;)) and to explain that sometimes magical things do happen - here's what happened:


Im in the midst of collecting the items from dungeons for my zodiac, I get to the part where I need to do Snowcloak for the item within.

Now I've been farming this dungeon for weeks trying to get the feet and chest token as well. I gave it a break for a long while - coz it never dropped, till I got the quest for the item needed from it as well.

I do it 1st go last night, feet drops from 1st boss, everyone rolls need and I win by 6 points. Get to the last boss and he drops the chest, all roll, I win by 1 point. Everyone says grats and exit and when I do the item dropped as well :cool:

I was so excited I forgot to take some screenshots and it was like 4am lol

So there you have it, have faith people, wondrous things will happen to you as well :)

Wow, congrats!

I love those little strokes of luck when RNG finally seems to let up on you a bit. Not much of a story, but I ended up getting the Enkidu minion the very first time I ran the dungeon on a 99 roll. Pretty sure that'll never happen for me again. xD

My BF got his tonberry king blood on his first Wanderer's Palace :p. That is a good RNG story.

I got the Garuda pony on my third Garuda EX kill. I think I used up all of my luck in this game right there, haha.

Once I meant to get 3 HQ Crafts for my Masterbook 2, opting to do my 5 NQ Supra afterwards, letting the botched HQ's buffer it. So in 3 attempts, around 80%, 70% and 20% (Around those ranges) all HQ'd flawlessly.

Then I decided to buy the mats to get my NQ Supra, and on the 5th one, 1%, it HQ'd that too.

Now I have an odd HQ Intricate Silver Brocade I have no idea what to do with.

Hmm that's weird or is that a thing to do

5/5 when some one congratulated me on my Zodiac quest I got the drop.....

is it coincidence or does the RNG God's smile on this ?

Should test this

EVERYONE CONGRATULATE EVERYONE

I rolled a 99 on the Puff of Darkness and a 96 on the Syrcus Shard on a WoD run on its first week, got both.

Praise be RNGsus!

The luckiest I've ever gotten was back during 2.0:

A group's dragoon's computer died, so they needed a melee dps for T1-4. I (monk) PM'ed the lead and told him I had done T1 and T2/rot, but not seen T4. He said that was good enough and took me. We 1-shot all the fights we set out to do and I asked if we could zone in to T5 so that I could see it. After a brief discussion, he decided we could kill it too since the dragoon already had his spear. Then the monk fists dropped when we killed it.

This happened to me yesterday :D

So... the moment RNGesus loves you = the moment other people hate you

When I rolled 99 on both sands in Syrcus Tower XD

When I had the most horrible party to heal in WoD who continued to die everywhere >.<.. I originally went in for that beautiful demon robe of healing. Eventually the Tank and his BLM buddy left. Soon enough was replaced with a new tank and..a bard named Godbert Manderville, he had all the looks, all the nakedness and all the awesome. We won that next attempt easily at Cloud.

The robe dropped and I rolled a 93 for it. RNG saw through my pain and rewarded me! :D also Godbert got commendations xD

Not exactly when RNGesus loved me, but... Did an ST run for the weekly with a couple of friends plus one or two randoms in my team. Every loot but two (oil and tomestone, iirc) ended up with our Dragoon XD Of course, he was kinda sneaky and Need-rolled on the three Dragoon pieces that dropped from the bosses, but... Even to be so lucky as to have that many pieces drop for your class? Even if it got slightly annoying for the rest of us, I can't help but imagine myself in his shoes and the giddy OMG MY THINGS O.O feelings that come with a run like that ^^;

I rolled 99 on that det/crit mage robe in WoD... only to realize right after that it wasn't a wonderful healing robe but an awesome caster robe.

The trick ? I had no caster at that time xD

Also I got Ramuh pony at my 2nd encounter (lost roll on 1st encounter). Wow. Crazy, so lucky.

It's been a month, and since then, I never rolled more than 20 on any pony I've seen, nor any allagan leather, etc... ;D

Oh, and still no sight of a levi axe, or shiva axe, after hundreds of kills.

RNGesus must have great plans for me. That or I already used all my credit ^^

I just did ST

Rolled 92 on one sand thinking "ooh maybe I will get it"

Someone rolls 98 on first sand, and 99 on 2nd sand, getting both

I HATE HIM SO MUCH

dat moment when I finally catch Kuno the Killer. Double-mooch into buff then double-mooch to catch, dependent on both time AND weather. Nepto Dragon was much easier = =

Though it was from a while back, my Titan pony was from a random DF I queued up solo for.

I've had two that I could recall ATM

(1) When I 1/1 meld all 3 overmeld slots for my i90 crafted healing gloves
(2) When I went 5/6 on Zodiac materials when I first began to build my Zodiac.

Otherwise, my RNG tends to be complete crap, or probably better described as bipolar. lol.

R.i.p i think half the ppl here have used up all their rng luck and will now suffer in golden saucer >:3 in that weekly/ daily lottery game.
I used up my rng luck when ex primals were brand new and snagged myself on a nightmare mount after my 1st garuda ex kill.
I mounted it in mor and bammm ppl spammed me with tells etc as if they were rmt on crack lol.
Best few days ever getting that server 1st of super omg wtf where did u get that 1337 haxor pony mount.
Now i always roll under 20 when tolling for ponies :(

HQed the final craft for the Ixali quests with only an 18% chance. I was super happy about that since I don't have any crafters at 50 yet so I was at a point where I basically had to get lucky.

Just a warning, don't spurn RNGesus's gifts, or he will smite thee badly.

My very first attempt to make my very first off-hand i70 tool, I hit Great Strides at 20% and got an Excellent. I was so excited and happy and Byregot's to 100% that I immediately hit my Synths to finish. But instead of the 71's I was expecting, I saw 55's. I. had. forgotten. Ingenuity II. *so so so much crying and screaming and ripping my hair out and hitting myself falling down stairs, I swear, officer >_> <_<*

I had barely enough CP and 10 durability for a single Standard Synth because before starting I had thought Rapid Synth would be a waste compared to Reclaim, but my previous attempts for 3-star items on another class had netted the 89 progress that I actually had remaining, so I thought I was saved. 88. Because my other class had slightly more Craftsmanship on it. ;n;

My next three attempts all came to 71% and all three came out NQ. Finally, my 5th attempt succeeded at 82%.

Just a couple days ago, I was making just a Wolfram Ingot for another i70 tool and wasting time until my friend's got back to hang out. First one sucked, so I reclaimed and ran it out. Except I ran it out with CSII so I got a NQ ingot. :I

Okay, try again. After Great Strides, Ing II, SHI, I was looking at my remaining CP and figured oh yeah I can still get an Innovation in there. Inn, Byregot's to 100%, a couple CSII's, and.....Ing II runs out right before my last CSII. I looked back. Ing II before SHI, before Inn. 0 CP remaining, and still haven't learned to put Rapid Synth on my bar. I can't believe how dumb I am. *an infinity of facepalms*

The next retry sucked, so I reclaimed and ran it out, properly this time. No items back. -___- I quit for the day.

Decided on a whim to run Garuda HM because I want the SCH weapon for Glamour. So I queue up thinking OK, I'll probably have to run this 5-10 times so I toss on a movie, grab some coffee and a snack.

<5 minutes later, and OP PUG group burns Garuda without using strategy and what do I find in the coffer? My lovely new SCH book. /need

Now if RNGesus would help me get that Royal Vest I need I'll be all good!

Rng Jesus doesn't love. He just takes pity on us occasionally.

Stupid dice system always trolls me. <-<
I get small numbers(1-25) on items I need and big numbers(>80 on items I dont really care...

Best was: I diced a 97 on minion Dark Cloud and lost...
same to a timesand: I had a 98 and lost...!

Hmmm you decide to do drhigh in hopes of hitting one of the dungeons you need for your drop... you get the dungeon... and at the end... it drops that first time you actually did it for that item.

I believe you can desynth those now.

As for my luckiest bits of RNG, getting baby opo-opo minion within the first couple of weeks of 2.2 + going 1/1 on 6 of my zodiac dungeons = one happy drg kitteh :3

A bit of fishing RNG love:
Old Man in the Sea is a patch 2.4 Big Fish with a lot of RNG required to catch it. For you non-fishers:
- It only appears during sunny, cloud-free weather immediately following rainy weather
- The only bait that will catch it is if you fish up a HQ Ogre Barricuda and then immediately cast it back into the water as bait (mooching). The chances of catching HQ fish are roughly 20%.
- There are two other fish that also use HQ Ogre Barricuda as bait, both much more likely to bite than the Old Man in the Sea.
- To catch an Ogre Barricuda in the first place you need to catch a HQ Harbor Herring to use as bait (Old Man in the Sea is a Double Mooch). Again, about a 20% chance of HQ.
- There is one other fish that will bite the same bait as Harbor Herring; roughly 50% chance it will be one or the other.
- On top of all this, if you actually manage to hook the fish, there's a decent chance that the fish will fight free of the line and get away.

So, the weather aligns, and I cast my line off into the Rhotano Sea. I fish up an HQ Harbor Herring. "A good start!" I think, and cast the fish back in to mooch. I get a HQ Ogre Barricuda. Okaaay... Sure, I'll take it! I cast again. Big tug on the line! I've either hooked a Gigant Octopus, or the Old Man himself! I reel it in, and sure enough, I've caught the Old Man in the Sea. My very first attempt at catching it, and my very first cast of the line.

Grats to all of you, but RNG is no god of mine at all, haha

The best examples I can think of:

My first ever T7 win, I won the HA Robe of Healing, which I had wanted so badly.

During my quests for Nirvana and the Last Resort, got the Aurum Vale drops the first time, both times.

Lucky all of you! :D and congrats too ^_^

I was doing my experts, and I got Qarn HM. First I didn't even know a minion dropped from this dungeon, second, it dropped and I was like, isn't that cute.

lotted a 99 :D never seen that minion again, and I have done that dungeon plenty!

on the other end of the spectrum, did Brayfox, saw the minion for the very first time, lotted 36 or something, lost that one lol, I'm happy with my Mummy though ;)

-Tari

Won the Puff of Darkness minion on my third trip through WOD. Took me months to finally get the minion in Syrcus Tower, and I know many people don't even have that yet and may never get it.

Just a side note, I really want the WoD minion. I'd easily give up my ST minion for it (if I could).

Recently started the Atma questline for first time (ever) on my WAR and I dreaded the idea of FATE Grinding for hours... so I decided to do my S.Thanalan and Aleport beast quests instead and while I was at it figured I hit any FATEs that spawned, my Atma for those zones dropped on first FATE :D
And then pretty much same for all of them, the RNG seemed to love me, I had 10 Atma in just over a week with no real effort on my part just 1-3 FATES work each zone... and NOW it hates me spent the last two weeks trying to get Ram and Archer Atma, the Ram finally dropped after yet another solid 50mins of grinding at weekend, but that Archer urgh, spent hours in the N.Shroud over last few weeks for nothing!

If it take the RNGesus to abuse you for weeks on end and then give you little something and call that "love"? That sounds like some seriously dysfunctional relationship. RNG needs no faith, it just needs you to be more cussed and stubborn than the RNG. RNG and so blankety-blank itself.

BTW congrats on your drops, you more than earned it, going against those crazy odds.

The tank body dropped on my first run of WoD, and the tank had picked up gauntlets earlier that same run, so I didn't have to worry about rolling against a Need roll. I beat the only other person who Greed rolled with a 57 to his 36.

My other good one was having the summoner book drop from Ramuh on my second clear of it. Already had a better weapon by then but it's my favorite glamour and I still have it glamoured over my Wiyu Nexus.

Yesterday, I managed to win a Baby-Opo and get 4 pieces of my Zodiac out of 5 runs.

Time for a drought of luck for the next month! =D
