Red Forgestone drop rate increased?

Post by Katar »

I went about 3 months without seeing a red forge stone drop but I have gotten 4 of them in the last 3 days - including 2 this morning within an hour of each other. Has the drop rate increased on these or have I just had a run of luck. It seems odd because the drop rate on everything else seems to have almost completely stopped for me :shock:

I found my first recently but have heard of others finding them again. There seemed to be a lull for a while.

You got a pocket full of those luck stones?

No luck stones at all. Before I read about them here, I thought that message telling me I had 0 Luck every time I logged onto BSK was just a DM's cruel way of tormenting me by telling me what I already knew. :lol:

Man you are playing the wrong game ... go to Reno or Las Vegas and bet the farm, the whole enchalata, even the mother-in-law!!!

What's you PC's name so maybe I can RP where your hunting.

Very true... I thought it was Driller and co's sly way of telling me that they are finally getting around to penalizing me for giving all my characters an 8 or lower charisma!

You people and your ample forgie drops make me sick!! If I could only kill one of those mages, maybe I'd get some red forgie drops too! The only red forgie I've ever gotten was a gift from a dm... I think because his "Jackal" character had just finished wiping the floor with me!

I'll give you a nice hat that reads 'Dunce' if you let me pick your pocket. It's a magic hat. :P
