So, about those dragon emblem random rates...

So "my friend" decided to do a little investigation on the Dragon Emblem Random Box rates that were recently sold on the web shop, since I purchased quite a few, and had no success with a permanent. The rates are clearly printed in the game files in plain text, so this info was easy to find:

Dragon Emblem 1 Day: 50% chance
Dragon Emblem 7 Day: 34.94% chance
Dragon Emblem 15 Day: 15% chance
Dragon Emblem Perm: 0.06% chance

I was surprised when I learned the obscenely low rate for the permanent box (essentially a 1 in 1,667 chance). I figured the rates would be better, since it many players from before this sale already had a permanent version from past events (likely from Nexon ownership days). But now that I see the rate of the random box that Papaya specially added for this sale, I'm pretty disappointed and will be sure to double check any random item rates from now on before buying.

I only hope this rate was an error and Papaya will find a way to compensate players that invested a considerable amount into this item in the hopes to get a permanent, only to find it's practically impossible with the applied rates. It can almost be seen as a scam, really, especially after so many players from before already have permanent versions.

    You have meant to say someone else told you these %-rates, since it's illegal to look into the game files and you could be banned for it. But you wouldn't have done something like that which means someone told you. ;)

    I'm actually not surprised about the rates your friend told you, it's always been that way with the main item of random boxes.

    i still remember when someone leaked these rates then GM said these wasn,t true, the original poster said you can look into game files and see for yourself, the GM then replied looking into game files will lead into a perm ban... Everyone lol'd- what game bans ppl for looking into game files if something wasnt fishy RIP.

    @ForumPoker No so, "my friend" also saw the previous version random box still there, with the last item having as high as a 10% chance. Not saying this new one had to be that high, I still would have been happy with 3~5%. But 0.06% is just impossible.

    Rare items always had obtainability chance lower than 0,1%. Same goes for top 4-5 items in Platinum or Gold boxes, drops in dungeons (mana crystalline, dimension power, dragon horn) and other events...
    I bought 10 boxes to get timed dragon emblems and got 42 days in total, which is decent for 5 € worth. I did not have any illusions on getting permanent one...

    Purchased 250 random boxes but still no luck getting perm.

    No there is no error with the rates.

    From past events the rate was even lower, with a random box inside a random box, also platinum random box still have a lower rate than 0.06%.

    So yes, it was made for just a small percent of players with a lot of luck to get them.

    Do I like that? No, but that is how it is.

    PS: Your friend saw it wrong, never was a 10% random box with permanent dragon emblem. This one with 10% was another random box making the chance 0.1 * 0.0006 = 0.00006 = 0.006%(much worse than now).

    PS2: I would advise you and your friend to not post rates in the forum because gismo love to ban people who "bring the truth to the light" and being banned in the forums also bans you in the game.
