Kahrgan.7401 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 The new charr helms are amazing, however, they can only be obtained through RNG. Can you please put them on the map vendor for hatch chili + volatile? I would love to not feel screwed over by the game due to random numbers and luck.

Mushuchalaka.9437 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 This may be unpopular opinion but I think some RNG is fine. Gives the item some value/prestige. I was drooling over the Berserker's Lightward's Battlestaff when it came out and still don' t have it nor have I paid for it, even though I can afford it. Little bit overpriced on the TP, but I have no problem how it is. I do get impressed when someone has it, because it's uncommon. Although it's rare to see someone have/use the skin.

Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 It drops in a box (daily set or kahn-ur vault) where the uncommon drop can be a weapon or an armor selection box. Uncommon drop means you are struggling with other drops you don't want just to make any progress in the collection, in a drop rate of 1 out of every few dozen boxes.

Urgi.3504 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Putting these cultural armor skins behind RNG is dumb. At least make them available on TP, so poor souls who don't play Charr character and get the skin can sell them to people who actually want them.

Bear.9568 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 RNG is heavily related to "probability", no need to discuss statistics. In short, save all loot boxes and open them in large stacks 100+. Your % chance of obtaining the item does not increase, however the probability does.

Not 100% sure because the dyes on my chest armor on the alt that did the most previewing blacked out the logo, it was only when I happened to check on another alt I realized the logo was even there.

Donari.5237 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Huh, I know I posted a correction. Or ... strongly meant to and got distracted? Anyway, yes, I checked right after Rose posted and they were right, it's the exact same item, so I stand corrected.I guess I have a lot less urgency to completed the Merchandise collection now, I can let it happen slowly over time.

Personally it's not my thing either, but I can live with a few loot pieces/collections that weren't meant for me. My charr will just have to do without those helms.
