    Hello people,

    I have one Bloodtooth, I aimed for a second one and I decided to buy (un)lucky items for this set for the price of 3.500 drakens each. After 4 attempts I used all my drakens (14.000) and here is the result:

    Is this some kind of bug?
    Is this some kind of ugly joke from BP? 14k instead of 4k and no item !!!
    Is there any way to get my drakens back?

    I feel cheated and I was really depressed instead of having fun today. That's why I seriously think about taking a (maybe long) break from DSO after this...

    Well that was stupid of you... Why on earth would you try going for a random item when you are looking for something particular? You should have waited. Eventually they will bring the special Gnob offers where you can buy the items at their normal price, but now you won't be able to afford it when he does. The only time you should ever buy one of those lucky spheres is to get your first item from the set and you don't care which one is your first.

    All you did there is spend 14k draken for 90k glyphs and a Tear Holder.

    You can contact support and ask, but I'd be willing to bet you 14000 draken they will tell you no. You knew the risks and did it anyway.

    Well, thats a double facepalm move.

    You should not have done what you did. By buying the spheres, you're gambling drakens, which means your gamble might not work out...

    Same thing could also be applied to the jesters. Don't spend andermant looking for the jester gems or clovers and then be upset when you don't get any. When it comes to gambling, the only person who will win in the end is the House.

    If I am not familiar with something i tend to obtain information first before I make my choice.
    All you had to do is read what other people said:
    (these are my words but lot of people said the same ... i just can't search for their comments)

    And I thought that people who manage to reach 50 know by then what's the deal with the DSO "lucky" stuff.:rolleyes:

    1/3 × 1/3 × 1/3 × 1/3 = 1/81, which was the odds of getting the other ring 4 times if you buy 4 and open them. Assuming I did the odds right (I haven't done probabilities in a while) , 1.23456789% of time, this is what you get.



    I personally gambled once and got bloodtooth on my gamble.

    Are you new to DSO? While I guess technically it would be within the realms of possibilities to get all 4 items in 4 tries, you have better odds of meeting Bigfoot.

    You have to keep in mind that not only are you dealing with a percentage, not just of one player but all players. Add to that the random number generator that controls all things.
