Well 27% is correct, so if you didnt mis-read last time, it was a bug

Since when has GW had lockpicks?



Siggy gone on a little holiday. He promised to return when I thought of something witty.

Ill explain: In hard mode Lockpicks have less chance to survive(Your stats -40% bonus), in normal mode you get like 40% lockpick bonus. (Your stats +40% bonus)



Transformeurs, more than meets the eye.

RE: Whats wrong with the lockpicks 

only problem i have is the retain rates dont match the the stated percentage

at first i just put it down to wishful thinking but after the test i did only yesterday...

bought 30 lockpicks, went into an area where i get 51% and kept a tally of all retained lockpicks, and out of 30 i got 3 (giving average of 10%), statistically possible but there has to be something wrong since i would have expected to get between about 12 and 18

at 1500 each theyre just not worth it unless you want the unlucky title...

RE: Whats wrong with the lockpicks 

different areas have different chances with lock picks and based on your chances using lock picks in normal can sometimes be an advantage I suggest reading the wiki article for all the info on it

RE: Whats wrong with the lockpicks 

Erm, you mean that bit where i said i went to an area that had a 51% chance to retain lead you to believe that i didnt know that? did you actually read the post or not

RE: Whats wrong with the lockpicks 

That's strange, but still, it's all chance. You'd have to open thousands of chests before you actually got it to 51%. I guess you're just unlucky.
