    It being a chance at a chance for extra loot is potentially a bit disappointing, tbh. It largely depends on how high the % for the Aquapolis portal spawning is - if it's frequent enough then you'll at least get to go in there often and getting to the end of one won't take you that many tries. If it's a low % chance, however, then that's going to be less fun and more aggravating grinding just to get in there to then attempt to get to the end if you're lucky enough.

    The live letter said the portal will have a 50% chance of spawning.

    I understood it to be a 20% change that the entry is granted with a dragon map and once you are entered you have a 50% chance to get the right door to the next level...

    Maybe I understood it wrong....has to re-read that

    Yeah, that's the thing. Put the carrot too far away and people will stop bothering.

    Which by the way RNG goes in this game it means an actual 20% to 30% chance, if not less.
