Guild Wars 2

Hello. Even though I didnt see a mention about it in recent patch notes, I have the impression that the chance for everlasting tonics in mystical forge has drastically decreased. Can we have any official answer on this issue?

Yesterday I made the 4 that were avaiable. My results:

Princess Doll: 4 attempts (1/4)
Toy Soldier: 5 attempts (1/5)
Plush Griffon: 7 attempts (1/7)
Toy Ventari: 8 attempts (1/8)

Average: 1/6

Today I tried the new Toy Golem and only got it in 45th attempt (1/45 – almost 6 times worse than yesterday’s rate).

For the ones thinking in spending gold to craft the tonics, be careful about those “got all 5 in less the 3 attempts” posts, because it is pretty expensive to craft the tonics. Not sure if I was unlucky or if the drop rate drastically decreased, but you should be careful. I decided to craft them after seeing the “got all in less than 3 attempts” and kind of regreted, because it costed almost 30g to craft all 5.

Unfortunately you were struck with a severe case of bad luck. I made my potion after 5 attempts at it. That’s why I somewhat hate RNG for these time-limited events, it makes you feel bad for being lucky and it makes you feel bad for being unlucky.

Made my griffin today after about 10 tries..

doll 2 tries
soldier 1 try
ventari 1 try
griffon about 15 :p

I had fabulous luck yesterday, but my son had a horrible experience today at a cost of about 10 gold for two tonics. Of course, that was my gold…. LOL

Same here, the last tonics flew by fairly fast. I never had to go past 5 tries. For this last golem tonic, I failed 56 times before getting it.

Yes, that was a lot of money to waste.

Considering last posts, I believe that either they decreased the drop rate or we are all very unlucky since yesterday.

i got my doll tonic on second try few days ago, tried ventari today 10 tries and didn’t get it, gone back to farming more gold so i can try again.

Seems that we wont have any official word. As usual.
