In previous raffles, there were a set number of drops available in total on each given day, so your odds of success were dependent upon the number of total community tickets added in the given day.

Obviously things have changed, but I want to check my assumptions -- Could I please get some 'Yes/No' answers for these:

  1. There are not a 'fixed' quantity of prizes in each category for each day (or in total, for that matter).
  2. Each prize category has its own fixed odds of winning.
  3. A Player's odds of receiving a Lucky Dip prize is independent of the number of community tickets submitted on each day (or in total, for that matter).
  4. Each ticket is an independent roll on the drop table (so theoretically a very lucky person could place 3 tickets on the Golden GWD armour table and win all 3 sets?)
  5. The update post says that you can enter up to 15 times per day. I assume this is incorrect, as the in-game NPC says you can hoard tickets and submit later? (and you can also reclaim previous tickets) -- I assume this means you can receive up to 15 tickets per day, and spend them whenever you want to?

Answers to these questions from a JMod would be appreciated :)

  1. Correct, no more fixed amounts of prizes
  2. Correct, each category has a fixed 1 in X chance of winning a grand prize from that category, as shown on the interface.
  3. Correct, the chance of winning is not affected by how many other players have entered the raffle
  4. Incorrect. No matter how many tickets you enter in one category you may only win 1 reward set from that category. So you can’t win multiple Golden god wars sets from one day for example, no matter how many tickets you enter
  5. Its 15 tickets per day, per category. So theoretically if you had LOTS of tickets you could enter 15 in each category in one day and do the same the following day

Thank you for your answers Mod Breezy!

Re 1,2,3 -- That's great, much better than it was previously, thank you!!

Re 4 -- Is that 1 prize from each category can be won per day? (e.g. On Monday I enter my maximum 15 tickets into the GWD one and win a Bandos set, then on Tuesday I enter another 15 to GWD and can win another set -- Or is it 1 win per category maximum for the whole event?, i.e. After you've won a GWD set, then don't bother putting more tickets there?)

Re 5 -- That's unclear from either the Newspost or the NPC -- It may be worth clarifying this technicality. To be clear, you can enter a maximum of 15 tickets per day, per category, so anyone with more than 135 tickets on the final day will not be able to submit them all due to this limitation?

  1. Yeah. You can win a new set/prize from any category you entered each day if you’re lucky. For example if you enter both Golden God Wars and God Swords in one day, you can win both, or win one and not the other etc.

  2. Fair point, will pass on to the CM/news post teams
