Because while I could obviously afford the Dragonite, I didn’t know if 30 was enough to put me over 500 Dragonite so I took the Ingots instead. Daily kill quota was 150 Colored Troops, which gave me enough Gems for the Boss Dungeon offer and THAT put me over 500, so…
still not Garnetaerlin, can't craft a weapon yet
Congrats @mitamata! Very good feeling as it is no guarantee. I managed to find all 6 after 18 summons, I consider myself lucky as well, the torture started to get real, but egg 17 and 18 gave me the last 2 I needed.
How many have you crafted thus far? After I got my first duplicate 4 months ago, I saved up fearing of getting duplicates and hoping for a “fix” from the devs at some point in near future. Just last night I asked Tacet and Crisp and others if I should wait or spend them now. They all agreed that it’s unlikely the devs will “fix” the issue anytime soon and wished me luck.
I went for it and got 3 new dragons out of 4 drops. I usually have bad luck but now I have all colored dragons except for Diamantina. I totally respect your mindset as it was same as mine, for so long. Best of luck in your decision. This rng crap sucks.
Before last night (when I eventually got the missing ones), I had crafted 5 altogether with 2 duplicates. 3 separate dragons total. So not far off from where you were. I admit, I lucked out. Can’t say that for everyone so I have sympathy for those still crafting. I don’t blame anyone for holding onto dragon eggs/dragonite.
8 eggs and 4 unique dragons calculates to a total probability of about 30%. (This is a major jump from having only 3 dragons after 7 eggs, which was calculated at about 10% probability).
I added a new analysis to my spreadsheet (day-of-week counting) which will help me distribute any future crafting days to specific color days (not that it should impact the results any, but we can’t say for sure without a lot of data). Not shown here is me using a Major Orb of Wisdom on the dragon (and a Lesser Orb of Glory) to bring it up to par with the others I have.
Yesterday was … interesting. I told myself to wait until 1000 Dragonite before attempting another shot at Gem Dragon Eggs, and I’ve been sitting at (get this) 995 Dragonite for nearly a week now. Seriously, 25 Gems-worth away from my target.
But I did eventually cross that threshold, and got:
