Might be my awful RNG, but thought to hear with others? ---

Honestly, seeing much more that I usually do, especially in PvP. ---

Not sure if this is true, but I’ve heard some players switch kingdoms after a few runs with no gnomes and/or after a run where a gnome is found and that seems to help a bit. ---

I think they were. I did casual pvp all day yesterday. Around 10 hours and I’m only just about to get my 3rd pity key. Switched to explore and did several rounds getting zero gnomes. ---

Keeping in mind I have never tracked the gnome rate, it seems they are more common in pvp. I tried a couple gnome weekends doing pvp and never got a pet gnome, and yet have gotten several already this weekend. My guild has a pet rescue running frequently, more so than usual. But, RNG is going to RNG. ---

I see. I am off doing some PvP now. Gave up with explore, even higher levels seems like have gotten a half a nerf. I will be carefully with stating something here, as it might be our bad luck, but Ive gotten double as more spawn than this time around in a gnome event playing Explore. ---

Update: Doing casual PvP now. The gnome drop rate is about halved for me, they just rarly appear. I can only judge by two days tho. I get like one Gnome per 30 battles now, compared to one per 15 battles before. ---

I’ll post my data (as usual) on Vault Weekend data collection thread when I wrap up, BUT - it seems like this weekend has lower gnome rates than the previous ones. Might be just random, of course, but you never know for sure. ---
