297 fortunes and zero oxen. Wiki claims 0.33% chance. So I should have opened 3 more.
Yes, I know statistics don't work like that.

razerbeak · Feb 03, 2009, 02:02 AM // 02:02

I got 4 of them out of appox. 300 fortunes :P

Kook~NBK~ · Feb 03, 2009, 02:09 AM // 02:09

Out of around 600 fortunes, I got nuthin!

Gratz to those who got 1!

Krill · Feb 03, 2009, 02:12 AM // 02:12

I opened nearly 400 without one, but did one last roller beetle run this morning and got 2 oxes from my last 20 fortunes.

83 - 1 mini
33 - 1 mini
17 - 1 mini

Yea i got lucky. Last year o got no mini. Less chance, more random.

Lord Of Blame · Feb 03, 2009, 02:13 AM // 02:13

300 fortunes, 4 ox

Talon one · Feb 03, 2009, 02:17 AM // 02:17

7 oxen out of 1425+ fortunes, thats a 0.49% chance or 1 every 200 tokens. maybe i was a bit lucky.

probably the same droprate as last year, but i have more characters to do the quests with

Shadowfox1125 · Feb 03, 2009, 02:21 AM // 02:21

I opened roughly 300 or so fortunes, didn't even get one. I remember getting 6 pigs within ~200 fortunes the first Canthan New Year. /sigh.

Crimzon_DST · Feb 03, 2009, 02:23 AM // 02:23

I used just shy of 400 fortunes and no mini ox. Last year got quite a few rats in less fortunes.

Hanging Man · Feb 03, 2009, 02:24 AM // 02:24

I opened around 90 lunar fortunes all together and got one
got my ox on the first fortune I opened to

then i stopped getting fortunes, no need after got my oxy.

lewis91 · Feb 03, 2009, 02:52 AM // 02:52

um 1 out of 765...extreemly frustraiting after a guildie getting 11 out of 600...common for him, rare for me.

Shadowspawn X · Feb 03, 2009, 02:55 AM // 02:55

I opened about 140 fortunes and did not get an ox nor did I get a rat last year. So I brought two oxen and traded one for a rat so I'm all caught up anyway.

Shayne Hawke · Feb 03, 2009, 03:06 AM // 03:06

I sold a guy about 60 Tokens and he came back and said he got an Ox, so that's like 1 in 10 tries.

Moral of the story: It's all luck. Find suckers like I did so that you can buy, dedicate, and sell one of the minis for a net cost of nothing.

AngelWJedi · Feb 03, 2009, 03:11 AM // 03:11

i got like 9 ox out of 3-5 stacks of fortunes. but it is lucky based. last year i didnt get one rat so maybe my luck returned to me in time. lol does anyone know the ball park price of these little mooers yet?

Bobulation · Feb 03, 2009, 03:13 AM // 03:13

Idk if its more frequent last year, i got 7 celestial rats in 200 fortunes last year.

madriel222 · Feb 03, 2009, 04:03 AM // 04:03

Went through 4,000 fortunes (16 stacks) and got a grand total of 0 ox. Eventually had to buy one from a guildie who got 2 in 10 fortunes...

Chicken of the Seas · Feb 03, 2009, 04:19 AM // 04:19

I didn't get any at about 200 opened fortunes. I got my rat last year within the first 10 drops though. And I like ox better, meh.

Not The One · Feb 03, 2009, 04:20 AM // 04:20

opened 712. no mini.

Theus Latius · Feb 03, 2009, 04:25 AM // 04:25

I got no pig or no rat in the last 2 years. This year anet felt sorry for me and I got an ox on my 10th lunar fortune. Sold the rest of my fortunes and tokens.

LicensedLuny · Feb 03, 2009, 04:27 AM // 04:27

I did quests, including one of the Istan quests, on all 10 of my PvE characters (Hai Len is so tediously slow,) and used some tokens left over from last year and wound up with 521 fortunes.

From those 521 fortunes I got 4 oxen and gave the spares to friends.

Based on the reports at wiki, seems to me like about a 1/200 or better chance this year. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Lunar_Fortune/Drop_rate
