Updated Emerald Seed List -need help

You should divide up your questions/conversation topics, or 'spoons', into bullet-point format just so that it's easier for people to reply to them. And moreso, for people to see this is a discussion topic as well as a list. As otherwise, it'll get moved to the Guides and Resources fourm, despite the outdated, and the more outdated, Emerald Seed lists being contained within the GCD.

To answer some of your questions...I feel they do sometimes change rigs. With Kindred rigs, they admitted to taking out all of the super-rare drops so it wouldn't damage circulation (fragments, high-tier bundles, tickets), but sometimes the changes are even visible ones (A Touch of Everything getting four new boxes after two years; Silver, Demure, Velvetteen, and Bubblegum). I keep exacting records of every rig drop I receive, from what, and open in large batches so I have time stamps. Small-list rigs, you don't see any drift. Solid numbers. Larger rigs that get rereleased, there's some inconsistencies. Particularly with any rig that has been in Kindred for a while, like the Touch of series.

As this is a now a 'Kindred' rig, we can expect it had changes when they added it. Like that Tower Haunt you have theoretically listed under the highest tier; that item didn't even -exist- when Emerald Seed was first released.

For science, I will go and get you some data. I haven't opened any Emerald Seeds in a while because I usually burn them in Alchemy. I'll let you know data, and add it to my own thread later.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll do that then.

Do you think they should announce it when they make a change to a rig just so we are aware changes have been made? I would like them to come out with lists of items people can find in rigs but I know discovering what you can get from each RIG is part of the fun for Gaians.

Do you think Village of farries is going to get some new changes made anytime soon to account for the large number of new RIGS they come out with monthly?

it makes sense that the drops would have been altered after so long.

but admittedly, i don't keep track of what i've opened, but i'll be sure to keep some data when i do open the ones i've had.

I also agree with DarkRybrin that putting your discussion points into a bulleted list would make them easier to see/read, instead of having everything crammed into a block of text.

Okay thanks for the suggestion! Any help would be much appreciated. Do you feel like they should have a thread/announcment when they have made changes to RIGS?

that would have been a good idea. then it could encourage people to open them instead of trashing them or something.

3nodding I agree, I do a lot of alchemy so if they alter any of the RIG items to contain or no longer contain a component is a big deal to me.
edit-- plus people not into alchemy may not realize they are sitting on something useful and maybe worth some gold if they get the right items.

Hey, I opened 16 Emerald Seeds.
All Drystan.
Here's what I got:

3 Fails
3 Wirewood Bracers
4 Ladybug Poncho
1 Daisy Sandals
2 Drystan's Petals
1 Rich Copper Voluptuous Wrap Dress
1 Yellow Geisha Wig
1 Angelic Table

So to answer your question, it does give angelic furniture.
But for now, I only got table so yeah.
Hoping to win some Bed and chair next time.

Yeah... I'm so sorry at your results, One thing I do wish they would to is change rigs like this to give a reasonable amount of platinum for the lose items. Thank you for your assistance!! This is a huge help.

I admit, that would be lovely. But all I can do is switch back to gold to get the 7000g or whatever it is. Since you have more data on the others already, I'll probably do another round of Dally. Slow progress on seeds, sadly.

Your first post looks much better now, thank you. That should help others, and the mods.
Absolutely. Staff Notices would be an excellent place to put change logs, and would make the playerbase feel both they matter, and help them make informed decisions. They will never tell us -exactly- what is in a rig, but saying something like 'added this, took away rares', would be nice.
As for VoF, I do not think it will be changed, since it gives a nice average and touches so many rigs. However, I do think when they add another new area, they'll add something like a Bundlepalooza, or a rigception, or something like that. One of the older ones, with a billion different options, to help cover things that VoF isn't covering.

Ah, seeing those alchemy drops makes me happy. I don't need furniture anymore, just fish, but the more of that furniture to burn the better.

Glad to see it has new things.

Now if only they would update those damn crystal boxes.

[Amaroidal]

this is welcome news since a lot of LK people have been asking the staff to either change the RIG drops or update the available item lists to make getting them (outside of a specific few) a bit more worthwhile for players, since the only other thing that can make you plat on there is sycamorte hunting and that's been worse recently.

Here's my data for 100 Emerald Seeds - Dally 10%.


Expired... 95.

Actaeon's Blessing 2

Oisin's Blessing 2

Zombie G CORP Labcoat 1

I'm sorry I couldn't confirm more. I'm halfway to opening another batch, however. I'll wait until I have another 100 to post more data, but I'm not exactly thrilled about opening these, as you can see by the results. I'll do another category you don't have data on then.

That looks more like a 5% chance to drop. Those odds are horrible.

With a bigger sample size, perhaps it will look more like the advertised 10%, it's hard to say with such a small sample. I'm just not getting seeds at any decent rate at the moment.

Someone who posted in the thread earlier is also buying up a lot of them right now, though they haven't posted any stats/results.

Awesome!! SO glad that it still does. Looks like the geisha wig is new and I'm not sure if the copper one is new or somehow didn't make it into the original thread but I marked it as new since it's not on there. Thank you so much for your help!

I found out from another thread it's actually better to switch to gold to fight sycamortes because you will get more than you will receive in platinum since it still drops 1-2b gold which translates to I believe 100-200p

That would be fantastic
