If something was changed, it happened in the past few hours. My first battle today netted me a pair of Celestial stones, and I didn’t have an all-red team. ---

My team was red in all battles. Maybe that is the case… ---

> [@ralph](#): > > Could be nice… but something must have happened to traitstone drop rates. > In 49 pvp battles I got only minors and majors. No runics, no arcanes. It wasn’t like that ever before… @ralph If that problem is ‘new’ to you, I’m wondering if your new Red team has Infernus or The Dragon Soul on it. What kind of non-Red PvP team do you typically use, that you’d normally expect Runics and Arcanes to drop, or (at least) you’d be seeing fewer Majors than right now? ---

Yes, Dragon Soul is on red team. Most of the times I use Khorvash/Crimson Bar/Valkyrie/Mercy. I don’t say runics and arcanes were dropping like crazy but for ~50 battles I could get at least few runics. Today with 60+ battles still only minors/majors. Of course it may be just very very bad luck. ---

So, when I was growing up, I lived on the moa farm with my parents in a small farming village a couple of hours east of Leonis City. One of my earliest memories is my mother giving birth to my sister Lisa, but strangely, she didn’t cry when she was born. As she grew older, she never said a word or showed any kind of facial expression. No frown, no smile; it was as if her face was a blank canvas. She would play around the farm, and even help my mother and father out with tasks caring for the birds, but not a single word ever spoken, and not a single expression was ever shown on her face. We asked the devoted from the local temple to come and bless her from any curses, but still, no words and no expressions. As she got older still, the other kids didn’t like to play with her because they thought she was weird. It was the saddest thing, but she never showed a hint that she was sad about it as she could not express herself. Me and my siblings tried to include her when we could, but if we couldn’t play with her then she used to play with the birds on the farm instead, running round after them as they ran about squawking. The other kids thought this was weird too. They would run past the fields shouting at her ‘moa girl moa girl’ and laughing. Kids are cruel. The worst thing was that we, her family, started to pick up on this nickname too, but I digress. So one day, me and my whole family - including moa girl - are out in the village, because the Emperor is going to be passing by. We all waited on the side of the road with baskets of moa feathers to throw at his carriage as it went by to show our respect. We waited several hours, and finally, he was here! So majestic he was, riding on that big blue lion of his; a spectacle I will never forget. As he comes down the lane we throw the feathers in the air like confetti. My sister tried to join in, but in the excitement dropped her basket of feathers. And would you know, the Emperor himself stopped the whole parade, jumped off his lion, picked up the basket and gave it back to my sister. We were all so shocked that we didn’t know what to do or say - we just stood there in stunned silence as he got back on his mount and set off. And my sister turns her face to us - all stood there dumbfounded - and she is finally showing an expression on her face. Not necessarily happy, not sad, slightly coy - an indescribable expression. Ever since then we’ve called that expression the _Moa Lisa Smile_. ---
