Posted July 17, 2016 Hundreds of imp operations this weekend. Nothing. Thousands of shards and ores the past week. Nothing. I'm not talking about rare items here. I'm talking about just getting a roll. The only rare rolls I have gotten of late are when fighting mobs and I got two 20 coppers and one 5 copper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2016 Rares do seem more ummm rare lately. Normally road making, mining, leveling etc I get tons of rare dirt and rocks. I had only 2 with all the dirt I dug the one day highway making. It is a very random thing, so maybe we just have bad luck as of late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2016 Guess it's time to bump this old thread again. Sorry to hear you're once again having this problem. http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/125875-no-rare-rolls/&page=1 In one week, it will be a year since I, and others reported this same problem (as you likely know). Never did get an official response to our bug reports, despite many others having the same problem. Perhaps you will have more luck here in your thread. Gotta figure tho, after a year of silence, I suppose we should all move on, and take it as a big F U. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2016 I was just talking about it Freedom and it might just be a span of bad luck. Others seem to be getting them. I just am not. I have never had as many as my friends, though. I guess I am cursed. Having thatching for an affinity might be an omen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2016 I've gotten a rare sprout in the past few months. That's about all you get as a priest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2016 I've had a LOT of rare rolls in the past two days, after hardly any for weeks. It's just perception. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2016 I can also attest to having almost no rare rolls the past couple of weeks. Probably because I've been making and imping wagons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) They work, just not with attaching items anymore so you can't 'farm' the new items really. I didn't read thread I guess, I have no idea about that type of rare roll. Edited July 17, 2016 by Niki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2016 I can also attest that I have not gotten a rare roll in a good 4+ weeks. I never thought out it until I saw this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 17, 2016 About 2-3 years ago i got rare roll per hour. Nowdays when rares aint even rare anymore i get like 1 roll per 5 hours and ofcourse when im raking fields. Haven't actually played in 8 months because of the _allways ###### up_ mechanism this game has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
