    If this is how your percentage is applied then the formula you using is wrong.. A good formula should bring up close to the intended percentage drop rate. If lets look at a claimed 10% drop rate... I do 10 adv it is NOT unrealistic to expect that i should get at least a return on 1 adv... if i do 100 then at least 10 adv must bring a return... I cannot do 30 and get nothing. Then the formula is OBVIOUSLY not working and needs tweaking. Math is math and not luck.. if your drop rate is out of proportion the the formula needs tweaking... simple math...

    The drop-rate of loot does indeed go per adventure.
    You have a chance of ....% each time you play 1 adventure to get ..... item.

    What we are dealing with here is probability statistics... not basic math.

    Probability is luck... and it has no memory... simple fact...

    Further to the above - I recently did 2 Bandit Nest adventures back to back and got RtBN in both. That was just good fortune. I have previously done 40 back to back and had nothing. That was being unlucky.
    Both of the above are likely scenarios when dealing with probability.

    150 adventures that drop follow-up adventures completed this event. 2 follow-up adventures dropped.
    I understand making building drops rare but what is the point in making some adventures extinct?

    I got 2 RttBN from just 20 BNs. Does it mean my drop rate is 1/10? Of course not. I was just too lucky...
    Remember, remember the 25/11? You should have seen what happened on 17/03, 14/04 and 21/04 ...
    29/09 seems to be a major problem...

    From what I've found, the follow-up adventures chance is 2.0%. This means you won't find them very often. And see my previous most about odds. So many people don't understand probabilities - no matter what the rate is (except for 0.0% or 100%) you are not guaranteed anything - no matter how many times you try. You can flip a coin 100 times and there is a chance you will never get heads.
    Sorry, but I've slept since then...
