Second Epic Vault Key from gnome #147 (first was from gnome #12)

Final results:
Gnomes: 189
Keys dropped: 10
Epic keys: 1
About 2000 battles; estimated from trophy count. Probably a bit more, with gnomes ~1/15 battles.
Based on the numbers people are reporting, I wouldn’t be surprised if the drop rate had been bumped up a bit higher than 10%, perhaps to compensate for earlier frustration. It would be hard to prove this with this data, though, as I suspect that many people stopped grinding immediately after finding one epic key.

Gnome Tracker: 0/30
Vault Keys: 3
Epic Vault Keys: 1
I think it’s safe to say from the posters here that, although bad luck is still possible, EVKs are much more achievable

My first vault key was an epic VK. Not too many keys this weekend but did get a 2nd epic one. Maybe 10 total vault keys.
used this before the reset:
got 5 chaos orbs, but no extra VK’s or hearts of rage…
Ending it with tracker at 0/35 after 977 battles. From that, not including keys from the tracker: 14 vault keys and 1 epic vault key 
Also did 10 vault battles, which yielded 1 more vault key.
Feels like the vault keys were kinder to me this time? Last event, I ended with tracker at 3/35 and that only got me 6 vault keys.

21 vault keys + 2 epic vault keys from 195 gnomes (counter at 15/45) for me, not counting the 8 pity keys… Looks much closer to the drop rates we all were expecting after reading the patch notes

Oh, OK, so they ninja fixed the rate apparently, just quietly doing their thing. Seems to be working as intended by whoever finally. 
Which means Kafka had to apologize for nothing. Really sorry about that.
Not a ninja fix. I know I saw it somewhere on the forums that the devs were modifying the epic key drop rates during the event to be consistent with their relative frequency outside the event.

So i guess my theory about VK and EVK having different ID’s and vault event affecting only VK drop rate happened to be true.
and good to know they’ve fixed it too
Ok, thanks, I stand corrected.
