Hi everyone,

We're aware that the Shamrock Ales and Four-Leaf Clovers stopped dropping during the Special Event. We’re going to publish a new build to fix this issue and we’re also going to extend the Special Event until Friday 3/18 11:59 PM PDT (3/19 6:59 AM GMT).

We're sorry for the inconvenience caused. Thank you for your understanding and have a good game!

Wow, awesome. My bathroom exploded yesterday, making me unable to experience the lack of drops, and repairs will take all day today. Nice to know I won't miss out!

Phew thanks for that I thought I was going to sober up.

Buy a stack, 35k or less if you're patient. I farmed a stack and bought one.

why buy one for 35k when you can spend an hour and just kill vaettir and get golds, ales, and clovers at the same time and get a stack.

and thanks anet

What is the appeal of Clovers? Hero DP removal? Don't really get it, you shouldn't get DP on heroes much anyway.

lucky points+DP removal

Dzjudz · Mar 17, 2011, 11:05 PM // 23:05

Lucky points? Seriously? 0.36 points per clover. That is even less than a candy cane. And you only need 10,000 candy canes to max party. Lucky is 250 times as many points. You'd need 6875000 clovers. That is a lot of bipping.

actually its not less then candy canes... candy canes dont give lucky points(they give sweet pts so your not going to be maxing party

). I don't disagree there are better ways to do it, but this is a way for if your dying and try your luck with 4 lucky points.

Dzjudz · Mar 17, 2011, 11:11 PM // 23:11

I never said Candies give lucky points, I said a clover gives less points than a candy cane. I realise they are different, as you could figure out by me saying you need 10k candies to max while you need about 7 million clovers to max.

And yeah, you could try your luck for 90 lucky points per stack. But are 90 lucky points worth 35k?

MithranArkanere · Mar 18, 2011, 02:00 AM // 02:00

Fair play!

Yerra, now I can get me more green stuff and lucky shamrocks.

Amn't wasting time. No time to act the maggot! I going to stay at gaff, root that ale and get bolloxed!

I have no idea of what I just said...

Ahem...
Although as a way to get lucky points they are not very good (I'd rather get the 4 points when I pick them, like with Golden Eggs), they are better than canes for DP removal, since they work with heroes.
Red and green canes stay in my storage for ages, since I don't die often.

Dzjudz · Mar 18, 2011, 02:05 AM // 02:05

Yeah but buying stacks of them? I can't even burn through the Rainbow Candy Canes I still have... Maybe people need better heroes that die less :P.

I've lost count of how many times they've messed up event timings, ending too soon or starting too late. But I guess it's a good thing, since we always get an extra day or so of the events.

Yes the clovers are worth that for me. im at 9999 points Sweet, Drunk and Party atm and am saving up the last points for a big finale.

Clovers are one of the few DP removers that do not give Sweet points. Plus they have the advantage that they remove DP from other party members and Heroes/Henchies who are not able to use any cons. Apart from that Im working on the Lucky title, so the small chance of getting the 4 points Lucky isnt to be frowned on (next to the 250 points per retain and the 9 Rings of AFKdoom).

Awesome, nice job anet. Off clover farming I go.
