Obviously that’s not exactly 50% increase, but as I mentioned above, those 'X’s were illustrative rough values only. > [@Sirrian](#): > > **What does this mean in real terms of loot?** > > - Greater chances to get Cedric Perhaps you could recalculate the gem value of vault rewards after people get Cedric to Mythic? Each time he drops after mythic (15% of the time so far for me) it’s literally like only getting 100 souls. Please return Cedric to his rarer drop chance and boost the common gnome drops to x5 at a time to compensate. It’s ridiculous that I now have LEGENDARY Cedric at Mythic buy only a few copies of the COMMON gnomes. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/a-buff-to-vault-rewards/39843)._
