Can you get more than 1 Ancient Mariner’s Oilcloth Bag out of it for a Rime-Rimmed Mariner’s Rebreather?

I already have one, but I need another 1.

The drop rate so far recorded is one in 1563 giant gifts, too low a drop rate to calculate the real one, but undoubtably it’s a rare drop.

Thank you, I just opened about 1000 and didn’t get it so I was freaking out, thanks for the info.

That page suggests 1 in 12037. But the sample data is too low for such a rare drop. They would have to open enough gifts to get at least lets say 10 waterbreathers to get a decent approximation.

Possibly 1 in 12k? ANet obviously thinks we <3 RNG and low drop rates.

You were guaranteed to get it by completing the PvP reward track.

Since that’s no longer possible and not what OP was asking,(he was asking the drop rate to get a second mask) this isn’t a relevant post.

It was relevant to your post where you referred to the RNG, which wasn’t the only way to get it (and the reward track is coming back this year).

One could of course also point out that your discussion about RNG wasn’t really relevant either, since the only thing the OP wondered was if it was possible to get more than one from the presents.

Sigh. Yes. We know. We were discussing the drop rate chance for an item from the gifts. He wanted to know if it was possible or likely, since he opened 1000 and didn’t get one.
