Guise cease to drop date

[Trademaster]

So with j boots drop down to one pair a day, could we maybe get the list check time adjusts to like once an hour or something? Even being third on the list puts your lack of sleep at 72 hours.

Yeah this is no joke.

I went camping Jboots. Joined at 8, after one hour 2 ppl dropped so went down to 6. When the first pair drops some 16 hours into my camp the nr 1 slot had already waited for 23 hours for a drop (think 35+ hours total). Then I never saw any more drops. I went to bed after 20 hour camping realizing that even with people dropping I wouldn't get a pair in 35+ hours even. Went to bed, came back, still no more drops.

I dunno if it's bad RNG, if the drop rate is supposed to be this bad or what's going on. It's just bad, that's all.

My list experience for JBoots this week:

5:30am - join list at #5

9am - afk check failure, now #4

12noon - distance check failure, now #3

3pm - afk check failure, now #2

5pm - time out failure, now #1

9pm boots drop

Yikes. Consider Blue the full service MQ is like 3k plat.

Even on Green, I’d way rather camp AC later than /list now. Or even buy it later when you could farm plat to buy the MQ. People are crazy!

Meh, my jboot camp lasted just under 9 hours.

All luck of the draw

How long ago did u list for them though? 9 hours is less than half of shortest time I've seen reported....

This is basically what happens other than streaky lucky drop fiestas. People are dropping, not the boots. It's just luck whoever happens to time it, alternatively whoever has a friend to help play their account whilst they sleep.

Why not just /Random 100 the shit then?

After 3 stints of 17+ hours before I finally got my boots (had to drop 2x at #2 due to RL) the average drop rate is about 3-4 hrs. I’ve seen 3 in a row and nothing for 12 hours. She’s about a 50% pop rate and drops boots about 20-25% of the time. When I finally got it, it took 18 hr, starting at 8, 1 person dropped, 7 boots. Make sure you got 24 hours to do it, start early am EST for best start, and don’t be afraid to bail if you get a bad streak and are 16 hours in and still #6 before you’re 24 hours in and #3 and too committed to leave.

I'll share my records, rates on the Wiki seem fairly consistent with what I saw.

Journeyman's Boots - 3/13/2020

• P(Drelzna) = 40.09% (18/44)
• P(Boots|Drelzna) = 33.33% (6/18)
• P(Boots on the next pop) = 13.63% (6/44)

Total Duration - 13:53:01
Hours per Boot - 2:18:50

Guise of the Deceiver - 3/31/2020

• P(Assassin) = 25% (8/32)
• P(Guise|Assassin) = 87.5% (7/8)
• P(Guise on the next pop) = 21.875% (7/32)

Total Duration - 15:09:55
Hours per Guise - 2:09:59

Couple of tips:

• Bring booze to work on Alcohol Tolerance
• Have the top 6 people in the list be in the same group
• If you do not participate you may be booted from the list

Quote from GM/Guide Medris:

Just to make sure the policy IS clear - if you are on a list, you need to be participating - ESPECIALLY as you get to the top few spots on the list (although ideally the whole list is helping)
