And where did your "We" come into play here as this is your first post on this thread.

Sorry but you are just a troll and not a very good one at that.

As for all of the wiki numbers who says any of those aren't made up by the people who posted them?
Just as valid as the people who post their anecdotal "I've open 20 and got 2 tigers" IMO. {not at all}

Perhaps you are just lucky and your rates prove nothing more. 550 fortunes and I got 2 tigers.

No but you could say that you have a 75% chance of getting at least one in those 10 you open.

Chances are chances , you may or you may not. It is random.

I opened 1000+ fortunes and got "0" tigers ....... so no minipet for me.

My wife opened 45 fortunes and got "1" tiger, then she gave me all her fortunes as I didn't get the minipet , but even like that , I didn't get it.

So the chance rate is totally random.

Actually selling, or just people trying to sell?

agreed! went AFK most of the weekend and had time to do a few of the quest and got 250+ tokens to trade in and open about 70ish. got two mini. just need 1 for the heck of it. second will trade if ppl want to spend 100000 on it later this year.

on a side note keep 10 unopened to see it the "fortune" really does work while farming.

TheRemedy · Feb 15, 2010, 05:27 PM // 17:27

392 fortunes = 1 tiger for me

As has been said, it is just random. You win some, you lose some. Just like chest drops etc. The only way we'd know what it is like is if we had accurate droprate info, but this is impossible to guarantee.

I got 3 tigers in nearly 900 fortunes:

Tiger @ 287, 303 & 796

Caw521 · Feb 15, 2010, 06:56 PM // 18:56

What if you just d/c'ed right before you got the chance to pick them up?

I've only opened about 200-250, and still no Tigger. Worst (really best) I've heard about was some guy got 3 tigers within his first 10 fortunes.

gone · Feb 15, 2010, 07:00 PM // 19:00

'twas only one character. wasn't worried about it. was giving them away.

what does that mean? you expect us to believe that you got 170+ fortunes on only one character??

Hardly rare and heavily overpriced in my opinion. Managed to sell them all for 50-60k in game while they are still hot.

[edit]Opened 73 more fortunes. Got another 2 Tigers and sold both for 45k.

This is what I expected after the success I had last year. However I only ended up with 2 tigers out of 540 fortunes.

A picture is worth a thousand words. if you can't believe your eyes, I'll not waste the words. hence the photo gallery.

btw, that was less than 170+ fortunes...

karlik · Feb 15, 2010, 11:19 PM // 23:19

Last year I did a ton of fortunes and got zip. This year I did 14 and got the tiger (yay). For me personally I feel like I opened a bunch last year and this year and finally got one, as opposed to forgetting last year and just saying I got one after 14 tries.

bsoltan · Feb 15, 2010, 11:46 PM // 23:46

I did some drop research on one stack:

250 Fortunes

41 Sparklers
43 Champagne Poppers
30 Bottle Rockets
70 100g
16 Lucky Aura
25 Spiritual Possession
23 Lunar Blessing
2 Celestial Tigers

I don't know if that helps anyone, but there we go.

Oh after I did another few:

151 Fortunes

28 Champagne
14 Sparklers
14 Rockets
43 Gold
2 Tigers

I have since opened 320+ more and only 1 tiger, not so lucky this year.

Should have just bought the tigers from the beginning.....

imnotyourmother · Feb 16, 2010, 04:05 PM // 16:05

this tigers are rarer than in years past also because you need to be lvl 6 to do the quests. Last year you just rolled the toons over, hoopped on a different account and then just rant the quests getting a stack of tokens an hour.

I made like 5 different guys and then just ran the 2 fastest quests, traded my tokens for fortunes and sold off the mini's making tones of gold.

this year you had to be lvl6.. well that takes like an hour to do reducing my stack of tokens/hour to a messily little 50 an hour.. not worth the trouble.

So this year I opened 250 fortunes and got 3 tigers. All 3 are now dedicated

If questing is considered farming these days, I'm guilty as charged.

opened about 450 fortunes, only got one...

Well one char could do 6 festival quests which have 150 tokens as a reward, which turn into 50 fortunes. You'd need another 201 tokens for the other 67 fortunes.
